HowTo - Schedule snapshots

An image of a VPS's present state is called a snapshot. This function allows you to return the VPS to the condition it was in at the time the snapshot was taken. Individual files cannot be restored using this. You can do this using managed backup services.

 

How to create a scheduled snapshot

When you log in to MyTilaa and visit your own VPS summary, you have a few choices.
Clicking Create schedule initiates the process of creating the first scheduled snapshot.
