Backups & snapshots
Automated daily backups and on-demand snapshots, stored in a second region.
Backups vs. snapshots#
| Backups | Snapshots | |
|---|---|---|
| Created | Automatically on a schedule | Manually or via API |
| Stored | In a second region | In the same region |
| Retention | 7–90 days | Until deleted |
| Price | +20% of the server price | €0.02 per GB-month |
Configure a policy#
Shell
avenlith backup policy set web-01 --daily 03:00 --retain 14
avenlith snapshot create web-01 --name before-upgrade
avenlith snapshot restore web-01 --snapshot before-upgrade
Backups are crash-consistent. For databases, enable the pre-backup hook to flush tables or use native tools such as pg_dump.
Restore to a new server#
You can restore any backup into a new server in a different region — useful for disaster-recovery drills and for cloning production into staging.
