On our VPS platform you have the possibility to create snapshots. These are one on one copies of your VPS as it is at the time of the snapshot's creation. Snapshots can be created in the control panel under 'Manage' >'Snapshots' in the 'VPS' tab (see this tutorial).
You can add additional snapshots to your VPS during the order process, or add this option later to an existing VPS. To add the snapshot option to an existing VPS, you can order snapshots in the TransIP control panel (under 'Manage' >'Order add-ons'). A VPS can save a maximum of twenty snapshots.
- This image can be used to restore a previous state of your VPS whenever you want. Snapshots are not backups of individual files so they can only be restored as a whole.
- We recommend saving your work and turning off the VPS when the snapshot is made. This ensures any recent changes to files are saved in the snapshot.
- The differences between backups and snapshots are explained in this article.
