Snapshots & Automated Backups for VPS

Ideas & General FeedbackFeature

To improve reliability and reduce data-loss risks for VPS users, ZAP-Hosting can introduce a simple yet powerful Backup System with:

1. Manual Snapshots

Users should be able to take on-demand snapshots before doing major updates or changes. These snapshots would let them roll back instantly if something breaks.

2. Free Weekly Auto-Backup

Every VPS could come with one free weekly automatic backup. This gives all users at least one fallback point without needing any paid add-ons. There should also be an option to choose which day the weekly backup runs, so people can schedule it around their maintenance routines.

3. Paid Daily Backups

For users who want more protection, there could be a paid “Daily Auto-Backup” option. This would take a backup every day and store several restore points. It’s an easy upsell and something many people are already familiar with from other providers.

4. One-Click Restore

Restoring should be straightforward. Select the backup or snapshot, click restore, confirm, done. Ideally, there should also be an option to restore to a new VPS instance so production servers aren’t overwritten by accident.

    Eine wirkliche nützliche Erweiterung, gerade wenn es ein Upgrade von Betriebssystemen gibt, dann ist man bei Problemen schnell zurück auf der alten Version.

    This idea has been merged into a upcoming product that we are planning to release, while we require the provision of hardware for storage of our snapshots in each location, we would not be able to provision this everywhere at the moment due to the amount of tasking that it would require.

    This is expected to take some time before we are able to implement such systems, and make changes to our scripts before we are able to release such feature.

    This has been noted and will be included in our new upcoming model that we plan to release either in 26/27 however for the time being our further priorities are currently on upgrading our current hardware before we are able to release new hardware just for backup provisions.

    Thank you for this idea.
