Cancel automatic backups for VPS

מרכז תמיכה — Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:21:53 +0000

Due to security restrictions uPress does not allow canceling the automated backups on VPS servers

The automated backups created by uPress are not full backups, but smart incremental backups. The incremental backups only save changes from the backup base image, This means that the volume used for that backup is way smaller then duplicating the site.

Our recommendation is to add a service of automating your backup to an external drive and using the entire server disk [Web dedicated SSD] to websites only [as opposed to websites + backups]

Do manual backups take up space in my storage package?

מרכז תמיכה — Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:21:28 +0000

Manual backups do take up storage space in your package. Because your website is backed up automatically every day and is available for 30 days thereafter, we suggest – if you don’t make frequent changes to your site – that one manual backup is usually enough to keep your site safe.

Shared Storage Packs Auto Backups do not take up your storage package space.

When should I backup manually?

מרכז תמיכה — Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:21:04 +0000

If you are about to change anything on your site (to the What feed additives or editing files), or in case you have a stable version of your website you want to preserve and use in the future – then it is recommended to create a manual backup which is saved on the server and will be retrievable directly through the uPress Admin Panel.

You have two types of backups available through the management panel:

1. Auto Backup – performed every day at a fixed time and available for 30 days thereafter. This backup does not affect your storage package.

2. Manual Backups – allows you to backup the site at any time and keep that backup in the system for future use.

Manual Backup is recommended if you have just finished working on your site and you want to back it up immediately without waiting for the system’s automatic backup.

Please note – manual backups do take up storage space and are calculated as part of your package.
