One copy each day, kept for fourteen days
One per hour, up to five stored at once
Two-hour slot you set yourself
A standalone storage node, apart from your server
Depends on how full the disk is and current load
Cloud VPS, Cloud VDS, and Performance VDS
Turn VM Backups on while you are spinning up a server in the Recovery section, or flip it on afterwards from the Backups menu of a server you already run.
Set the two-hour daily slot in which automatic copies are taken. Pick the quietest stretch of the day so the server is barely busy at that moment.
Fire off an extra copy from the control panel whenever you want another recovery point. These on-demand copies are limited to one per hour.
If a file is wiped by mistake or a buggy app scrambles a database, a saved copy gives you a way out. Pull up any copy to put the server back exactly as it stood at that point. Restoring replaces whatever is live now with the contents of that copy.
Take a manual copy just before you apply updates or rework a configuration. Should the change break something or bring in bugs, rolling back is instant. That copy preserves the healthy state your server had before you touched anything.
Engineering teams trying out software changes gain from resetting their setup in seconds. Test against one configuration, roll back to a pristine copy, then try the next one. Copies spare you from rebuilding a test environment by hand each time.
Companies bound by compliance frameworks regularly have to prove they can recover. Fourteen days of rolling copies give you a documented trail of recovery points. Auditors can then confirm you are able to restore data from several moments in time.
The daily copy happens on its own. The platform makes each copy at the time you set and quietly handles the fourteen-day rotation. There is nothing to remember and no old copies to clear out by hand.
Your copies live on physical hardware that is separate from the running server. Even an outright failure of the main server, its storage arrays, or its network links leaves the copies reachable. You can restore from one while the primary systems are still down.
Pairing the daily scheduled copy with on-demand copies hands you real flexibility. The scheduled run lays down steady, regular points, while manual copies let you mark critical moments around big events or changes.
The timing of the daily copy is yours to decide. Servers that go quiet overnight can copy then; those with other rhythms can pick a slot that suits them. Choosing the right window keeps the performance hit during a copy to a minimum.
On-demand copies put control in your hands beyond the daily routine. Capture one ahead of a risky operation, after finishing major work, or any time you want another point to fall back on. The once-an-hour cap keeps things sensible without getting in your way.
The control panel keeps a log of your restore activity. See which copies were used and whether each restore finished cleanly. That history makes it easier to chase down a failed restore or confirm a recovery went through.
Nortonhost VM Backups records point-in-time copies of your virtual server and keeps them on independent storage hardware. Should data go wrong, you can roll the server back to any copy you have saved.
One automatic copy is taken each day inside the two-hour window you choose. On top of that, you may trigger a manual copy up to once an hour and keep as many as three of them at a time.
Copies sit on storage nodes that are kept apart from your server's main disk. Because the storage is independent, a hardware fault on your primary server does not put the copies at risk.
Yes. Any saved copy can be restored from the control panel at will, and each entry is listed with its creation time so you can pick the right one quickly.
Yes. The API lets you drive backups programmatically, so creating copies, reading their status, and launching restores can all be scripted through calls.
