A few pointers more.

The VPS team has a backup ready at all times. We have backups for the whole node. However when it comes to individual VPS', its not the case. This is something which the customers would have to take care of.

In the unlikely case of a complete node going down, we would be able to restore data for all the VPS' present on that particular node. This is done from the backups we take with the help of Virtuozzo. On the OpenVZ nodes, we actually take manual backups on remote servers.

The reason we cannot accept responsibility for backups of individual VPS' is the fact that breaking down the entire backup files of the whole node & locating the files for a particular VPS is not quite possible always. We do have them for sure - but it takes time to do it.

So if anything happens to the node, we would be able to restore all the data, but for individual VPS' it will take some time. However, we would be able to give a copy of the backup.

One of the main reasons why we are phasing out OpenVZ offerings is because of the backup limitations. Virtuozzo Power panel allows you to take a backup of your VPS very easily. (Not only that, it also allows you to restore, repair & reboot your VPS.)

If you do need some more information. please do contact the support team. They would be glad to help.
