Server Backups & Cloud Storage
Automated backups of stacks, volumes, databases, environment files, SSL certificates, and cron jobs. Store encrypted backups in S3-compatible cloud storage with flexible scheduling — hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly.
Server Snapshots
Export your entire server to a single AES-256 encrypted .scz file — Docker stacks, volumes, databases, domains, cron jobs, alerts, and notification channels. Save locally or upload to S3, then restore to the same server for disaster recovery or rebuild on a new VPS for migration. Domain remapping lets you switch domains during restore.
