Storage

Daily backups and on-demand snapshots

Odinex can copy a server disk in two ways. Backups run automatically once a day and keep the seven newest copies, for 20% of the server price. Snapshots are taken when you ask for them, are kept until you delete them, and are billed per GB. You can rebuild a server from either one or create new servers from it.

Key features

  • Daily, automatic

    Turn on backups and each server is copied once a day in its own four-hour window.

  • Seven days of history

    The seven newest backups are kept; the oldest is removed when a new one is made.

  • Snapshots on demand

    Take a snapshot before an upgrade or migration and keep it as long as you need.

  • Independent of the server

    Snapshots stay after the server is deleted, so you can archive a disk and stop paying for the server.

  • Restore or clone

    Rebuild a server in place, keeping its IPs, or create a new server from the image.

  • Predictable price

    Backups cost 20% of the server price, hourly and capped monthly. Snapshots are billed per GB.

What it is used for

  • Safety net for production

    Daily backups let you go back up to a week after a bad deploy or an accidental deletion.

  • Before risky changes

    Snapshot a server before an OS upgrade and roll back in minutes if something breaks.

  • Golden images

    Configure a server once, snapshot it, and create new servers from the snapshot.

Backups and snapshots: questions and answers

Clear answers about location, infrastructure and billing.

What is the difference between a backup and a snapshot?
Backups are automatic, daily, keep the newest seven and are deleted with the server. Snapshots are taken when you ask, kept until you delete them, and survive the server.
Are volumes included?
No. Backups and snapshots copy the server disk only, not attached volumes.
What happens if I turn backups off?
All of the server backups are deleted. To keep one, create a server or a snapshot from it first.
Should I keep backups elsewhere too?
Yes. Backups and snapshots are stored in the same location as the server. Keep your own regular backups outside Odinex as well.
