Backups and Recovery, Rebuilt
One Backups and recovery page for every VPS, cache and database, a guided restore that creates a new resource by default, and backup policies you control.
What's changed
- The new Backups and recovery page in the sidebar lists every recovery point across your resources, filterable by product, state and origin, and each instance keeps the same view on its Backups tab
- Restore creates a new resource by default: pick a point, name it, choose a plan, and review the server-side check of name, plan, storage and monthly cost before starting
- Managed PostgreSQL restores to any moment in time within its continuity window
- Every restore is a durable operation with its own page, a timeline of stages, a plain reason if it fails and a retry when one is possible; it survives page reloads
- Recovery points of VPS, caches and MySQL get a second copy in the platform backup store, re-verified every hour, with Local only, Second copy and Second copy failed labels
- Backup policies replace the daily 2:00 AM UTC default per resource: pick the time and timezone, daily, weekdays or weekly, retention from 1 to 90 days and whether a second copy is required; protection health is checked hourly
- Replacing an existing resource in place is opened per account as an advanced action, with a safety point first and a typed confirmation
