Backups

Automated Daily Backups

All SHC VPS plans include automated daily backups. Backups are stored on separate SHC-owned infrastructure within the same geographic region.

Backup Schedule

• Frequency: Daily at 02:00 UTC
• Retention: 7 daily backups
• Storage: Encrypted, separate infrastructure
• Recovery: Contact support for restoration

Manual Snapshots

You can request on-demand snapshots through the Client Portal or by contacting support. Snapshots capture the full state of your VPS including:

• All files and directories
• Installed packages and configurations
• Running services state

Self-Managed Backups

For additional backup strategies, we recommend:

rsync to Remote

rsync -avz --delete /important/data/ user@backup-server:/backups/

Automated with cron

# Add to crontab: crontab -e
0 3 * * * rsync -avz /var/www/ user@backup:/backups/www/

Database Backups

# PostgreSQL
pg_dump dbname > /backups/db-$(date +%Y%m%d).sql

# MySQL/MariaDB
mysqldump --all-databases > /backups/all-db-$(date +%Y%m%d).sql
