[VPS Addons] Acronis Incremental Server Backups

What are Acronis Incremental Backups?

This is an incremental block style backup system with a rich and scalable feature set. Using their Acronis kernel module, server data is backed up at the block level, bypassing the file system and reading data directly from the disk or volume.

Acronis backups will be taken every 6 hours. Unfortunately, this interval cannot be lowered.

Features of Acronis Incremental Server Backups

Block-Level Backups

Block-level backups bypass the file system and read the data directly from the Disk or Volume. This means that you can run fast, performance-friendly backups regardless of the number of files you’re trying to back up. Block-level backups also always have built-in support for open file backup and snapshot features, allowing you to get the most out of your storage space and resources.

Restores

Restore individual files, databases, or mailboxes through the Acronis cPanel plugin. No separate login required, this features:

  • Entire Server Restoration: Restore your entire VPS to any point in time up to 1 month ago.
  • WHM/cPanel Interface: Acronis has a WHM/cPanel plugin which provides a full GUI to perform self-service recoveries, both at a server and account level.

Storage

Backups are stored on our fully redundant, high availability Acronis Storage Cluster which is separate from your server. This ensures that backups are not using any of your server resources, and your backups are secure in the event of an issue.
