Daily Remote Backups
Automatic offsite backups via Proxmox Backup Server and on-demand manual backups included with every VPS.
Every QDE VPS includes automatic daily offsite backups at no extra cost, powered by Proxmox Backup Server. Backups are incremental, deduplicated, and stored at a separate location from your VPS for disaster recovery. Even if something happens to the primary infrastructure, your data has a safety net.
In addition, you can trigger a manual backup anytime from the control panel — ideal before OS updates, configuration changes, or software upgrades. Each VPS keeps 2 full backups, and incremental backups are retained for 4 weeks. Restores are available directly from the control panel when you need to roll back.
Automated Daily Backups
QDE runs automatic daily backups in the background for every VPS. No configuration, no scheduling — your data is backed up every day without any action on your part.
Backups are created automatically every 24 hours. The process runs in the background and requires zero intervention from you.
Each VPS keeps 2 full backups, while incremental backup data is retained for 4 weeks for disaster recovery.
Backups start automatically when your VPS is provisioned. There is nothing to enable, schedule, or maintain.
Restore your VPS from an available backup directly in the control panel. No support ticket is required for a standard restore.
Manual Backups on Demand
Daily backups run automatically, but you can trigger an additional backup at any time from the control panel. Each VPS keeps 2 full backups, with incremental backups retained for 4 weeks — useful when you're about to do something risky.
Start a backup from the control panel whenever you need to. No support ticket required to create one — you decide when to run it.
Backups are powered by Proxmox Backup Server. Only changed blocks are uploaded, so manual backups complete quickly even on large VPS instances.
Trigger a fresh backup before OS updates, configuration changes, or software upgrades. If something breaks, you have a clean restore point.
Each VPS keeps 2 full backups. Incremental backup data is retained for 4 weeks, giving you recent restore coverage without counting it against your VPS storage.
Offsite Protection
Daily backups are stored at a separate facility from your VPS. This geographic separation ensures your data survives even if something affects the primary infrastructure.
Backups are stored at a different physical location from your VPS, not on the same server or in the same rack.
Offsite storage means your data is protected against localized incidents — hardware failures, power outages, or network issues at the primary site.
If a disk or server fails at the primary location, your backup remains intact and available for restore from the remote site.
Two layers of protection by default: daily offsite backups managed by QDE via Proxmox Backup Server, plus manual backups you trigger yourself.
Backup Best Practices
Server-level backups protect against infrastructure failures. Combine them with good habits to make sure you can recover from anything.
Server backups are a safety net, not a replacement. Maintain your own backups of databases, configs, and critical application data for maximum coverage.
Trigger a manual backup before OS updates, config changes, or software upgrades. If something breaks, you have a recent restore point ready.
Know the restore flow before you need it. Document where to restore in the control panel and how long your application takes to come back online.
Combine daily offsite backups via Proxmox Backup Server, on-demand manual backups, and your own application-level backups. Multiple layers mean no single failure can cause data loss.
