We periodically create an automated backup for your VPS Hosting. Each time this occurs, the newest backup replaces the previous backup.
If you like, you can manually create a backup any time. When you create a backup file manually, the previous manual backup file is overwritten.
Note: This article applies to VPS Hosting only.
- Log in to your WNYPress account. (Need help logging in?)
- In your My Products page, select Servers.
- Next to the VPS Hosting you want to back up, select Manage.
- Select Server Actions and then select Stop Server.
Note: Turning off the server before backing up creates the most accurate backup. - In the top left corner of the page, next to Dashboard, click Backups.
- In the On Demand section, select Backup Now.
- Enter a Backup Name for the file. The filename must be 5 to 16 characters long, and may contain only letters, numbers, hyphens, and underscore characters.
- Select the Backup Now button. We’ll create a backup file, and when we’re done the new backup file name appears in the On Demand section.
When your backup is done, Select Server Actions and then select Start Server.
