Set up automated backups for your VPS

Snapshot the data, not the hope. Store copies somewhere that is not the same disk.

Noble VPS infrastructure snapshots are for our disasters, not your accidental rm. Schedule your own backups.

For Linux, restic or borg to object storage on a cron. For Windows, wbadmin or the application's native dump. For MySQL or Postgres, use dump or snapshot tools that are consistent. Encrypt the offsite copy.

Test a restore on a second VPS once a quarter. An untested backup is a story you tell yourself.
