کوردیAutomated backups are daily full snapshots of your server's content, saved automatically without any action required from you. This feature allows you to restore your server to a previous state when needed — whether to recover specific files or to fully restore the entire server.
• Free: One (1) backup copy included automatically with every VPS server
• Paid: Up to 7 backup copies by activating the paid backup addon through a service upgrade
How to Access the Backup Page
- Log in to the Client Area
- Go to My Services and select your VPS server
- In the control panel, click on the Advanced Operations section
- Click the Backup button
Understanding the Backup Dashboard
The page consists of three main sections:
1. Status Card
Displayed at the top of the page, showing:
- Status: Whether the backup service is active
- Schedule: The daily backup execution time in GMT+3
- Retention: Number of days backups are kept
2. Attached Backups
If you have previously mounted a backup, it will appear here with a Detach button to remove it when done.
3. Available Restore Points
A list of all saved backup copies with their dates. Each backup has two action buttons:
- Mount: Browse the backup contents without affecting your current data
- Full Restore: Replace your entire server with the contents of this backup
Managing the Backup Schedule
You can set the time for your daily backup to suit your schedule:
- On the Backup page, locate the Schedule section
- Select the desired hour and minute (minutes are in steps of 5)
- Click the Save Schedule button
Available Backup Operations
1. Mount Backup
Mounting a backup attaches it to your server as a separate virtual disk (similar to plugging in a USB drive), allowing you to browse and recover specific files without touching your current server data.
Steps to mount a backup:
- In the Available Restore Points list, select the desired backup
- Click the Mount button
- Enter your security question answer when prompted
- Click Confirm
- Your server will restart and the backup will appear under Attached Backups
Accessing files after mounting on Linux:
Identify the new disk in the list (e.g., /dev/sdb), then mount it:
You can now browse and recover files from /mnt/backup
Accessing files after mounting on Windows:
- Open Disk Management from the Start menu
- The new disk will appear in the list
- Right-click it and assign a drive letter to access it through File Explorer
2. Detach Backup
Once you're done browsing a mounted backup, detach it to remove the virtual disk from your server.
- In the Attached Backups section, click the Detach button
- Confirm the operation
- Your server will restart and the backup disk will be removed
3. Full Restore
A full restore completely replaces your server's contents with the selected backup. Use this when you want to roll back the entire server to a previous state.
Steps to perform a full restore:
- In the Available Restore Points list, select the desired backup
- Click the Full Restore button
- Enter your security question answer when prompted
- Click Confirm Restore
- The restore process will begin and may take some time depending on server size
- You will receive an email notification at your registered address when the restore is complete
Operations Summary
- Mount: Safe – attaches the backup as a separate disk for file browsing only – requires server restart
- Detach: Safe – removes the attached backup disk – requires server restart
- Full Restore: Destructive – replaces the entire server with backup contents – cannot be undone
