Snapshots
Fast, reliable, fully automated VPS backups
We automatically create 2 daily and 3 weekly full-server snapshots, plus 3 manual slots for your own use. That means you always have up to 8 restore points available without lifting a finger or paying extra.
Resilience
Reliable and resilient backups
Our backups are redundantly stored both on-site and off-site using RAID across many drives.
Each week, all snapshots are also synced to remote cold storage for extra safety.
Snapshots are taken without interrupting your running system.
As soon as you trigger a snapshot, it captures your disk exactly as it is in that moment, while your server keeps running normally.
Performance
Performance you can trust
Webdock snapshots capture a true disk image of your server (not RAM), acting as if the server was freshly rebooted when restored.
Snapshots are usually incremental, meaning only changed data is backed up, making the process extremely fast.
On our SSD and NVMe servers, snapshotting typically runs at ~200 MB/s, so a 60 GB server takes about 5 minutes to back up.
Automatic snapshots run nightly between 01:00–05:00 local time, minimizing any performance impact.
Why it matters
Automatic protection
Daily and weekly full-server backups run every night, and you can take a manual snapshot yourself at any time.
Full control
Take manual snapshots anytime without downtime.
Quick recovery
Restore or clone in minutes.
Redundant storage
On-site, off-site, and cold storage redundancy.
Fast restore
Fast restore – minimal downtime
Restoring your server from a snapshot only takes a few clicks in the Webdock Control Panel.
Simply select which snapshot to roll back to, and your server will be reloaded within minutes, with no complicated setup or downtime.
You can even create new servers directly from any snapshot, ideal for testing or cloning production environments.
Snapshots
Every snapshot, dated and accounted for
See each server's snapshots with date, size and retention state in one list. Protected snapshots are never deleted, and manual ones show exactly when they auto-delete.
Snapshots included with all servers
Free backup snapshots are available on all Webdock servers. No setup, no scripts, no surprises. Just automatic, reliable data safety built in.
