Frequently Asked Questions about Auto Backup

FAQs | More information on Auto Backup for your Contabo VPS
Where can I find answers to all my Auto Backup questions?

To make it easy for you to find the answers you're looking for, we've collected all the Auto Backup FAQs into a handy  knowledge base . In you can't find what you need in the FAQs directly below, please look there for more information.

What is Auto Backup for Contabo VPS?

Auto Backup is a paid Add-On for your Contabo Cloud VPS that automatically creates off-server backups of your data for the past 10 days. It's designed to provide user-friendly, reliable data security for VPS customers.

How does Auto Backup work?

Auto Backup starts with a full copy of your Cloud VPS disk. Then, it performs daily incremental backups, copying only the changes since the last backup. These backups are initiated during a standard backup window, with at least 8 hours between each backup.

How long are backups retained with Auto Backup?

Auto Backup keeps each daily backup for up to 10 days. It maintains a maximum of 10 backups at any time, deleting the oldest ones first to make room for new backups.

Can I use Auto Backup with all Contabo VPS plans?

Currently, Auto Backup is available as an Add-On for Cloud VPS 4C-20C, 1-6 and S-XL. If you're using an older VPS configuration and want to use Auto Backup, you'll need to switch to one of our newer plans. Support for Storage VPS and Cloud VDS is planned for the future.

How is Auto Backup different from the snapshot feature?

While the snapshot feature backs up an image of your VPS disk with 30 days of retention, Auto Backup provides 10 days of daily off-server backups. This makes Auto Backup complementary to the snapshot offering, enhancing your overall data protection strategy with both short- and long-term regular backups.

How do I restore my data using Auto Backup?

You can restore any kept backup to your original VPS. This process overwrites the current data on your VPS. During the recovery, your VPS will be temporarily unavailable until the process is successfully concluded.

What happens to my backups if I cancel my VPS or the Auto Backup add-on?

You can cancel the Auto Backup Add-On without cancelling your Cloud VPS, and vice versa. If you disable the backup, the most recent backup is kept until you either re-enable the service or cancel the Add-On completely.

Does Contabo guarantee the recoverability of my data with Auto Backup?

While Contabo ensures that backups are performed and backup data is accessible, we do not guarantee recoverability or engage in recovery on behalf of the customer. It's important to regularly verify your backups.

When is the initial full backup performed for Auto Backup?

The initial full backup is performed within the standard backup window after either provisioning your Cloud VPS (if Auto Backup was purchased with the VPS) or after adding the Auto Backup service to an existing VPS.

Can I use Auto Backup for my existing Contabo VPS?

Yes, you can add the Auto Backup service to your existing Cloud VPS at any time. Once added, it will perform an initial full backup during the next standard backup window.

Where is my backed up data located?

Auto Backup stores your data off-server in the Data Center of your choice - EU, US Central, or Asia (Singapore). This means it's kept separate from your original VPS, providing an additional layer of protection for your backups.
