VPS backups

Backups are your safety net. On a VPS you have full control of your server, which also means it is important to keep good backups of your websites, databases and configuration.

Good backup habits include:

• Taking regular backups of your sites and databases
• Keeping copies in more than one place, ideally off the server
• Testing that you can actually restore from them

If you use a control panel, it usually has built-in backup tools you can schedule. You can also take snapshots of the whole server before making big changes, so you can roll back if something goes wrong.
