Restore your VPS from a backup
A backup holds the whole server. Restore it when you want to go back to how the server was when the backup was taken.
Before you start
- The server has the Backup or Server maintenance add-on, which takes a backup every week. Is my VPS backed up?
How to restore it
- 1
Log in to the client area and click Manage next to your VPS.
Your VPS’s page opens.
- 2
Open the Backups tab.
Important
The whole disk is replaced. Everything changed after the backup is lost.
- 3
Select the backup and choose to restore it.
