Nightly Offsite Backups

As a high value free service, by default, Hostek.com provides nightly offsite backups.

Nightly backups are kept for 5 nights by default for VPS and Virtual Dedicated servers.

Restore Options

Many VPS providers only provide a system restore, in which it restores the entire VPS. With our backups, a complete bare metal restore can be done, or just a specific folder, or even down to a specific file.

How Restores are Handled

We can give you control to be able to do the restores, but we highly suggest you let us handle the restores for you instead. The reason is, and no offense meant, but if you don't know what you are doing with the backup/restore process, you can corrupt your backups and then there would be nothing to restore. By submitting a ticket and letting us handle the restore for you, that helps preserve your backup integrity.
