How often are VPS backups taken automatically?

Daily automated backups run in the early morning IST window (low-traffic hours). Backup frequency and retention depend on your plan — the add-on gives daily backups with 30-day retention. You can also trigger on-demand snapshots any time from the control panel before risky changes like software upgrades or migrations.

How do I restore from a backup or snapshot?

One-click restore is available directly in the HostStack client area. Select the backup or snapshot date, click restore, and the VPS is rolled back — typically completing within a few minutes depending on disk size. No ticket required for standard restores.

Are backups stored in the same datacenter as my VPS?

Backup storage is maintained in our Mumbai facility. For critical production systems, we recommend also keeping an off-site copy (e.g. export and upload to a separate object storage bucket) as an additional disaster recovery layer. We provide the backup infrastructure; a documented DR plan is your responsibility.

What is the difference between a backup and a snapshot?

A scheduled backup is an automated daily copy of your full VPS disk, managed by our infrastructure on a retention schedule. A snapshot is an on-demand point-in-time image you take manually — useful before deployments, upgrades, or migrations. Snapshots are stored at ₹2/GB/mo. Both support one-click restore.

Can I download my backup to store it externally?

Snapshot exports are available for off-site DR. Contact support to initiate an export if you need a local copy for compliance or cold storage. Standard restores within the HostStack platform are self-serve via the control panel.
