Automatic Backup

Onidel Automatic Backup provides a reliable and efficient solution to safeguard your data with minimal effort. Designed for speed and flexibility, this feature ensures your critical information is securely stored and easily recoverable when needed.

Key Features

High-Performance SSD Storage

Backups are stored on SSD storage, enabling lightning-fast backup creation and restoration. This ensures minimal downtime and quick access to your data when you need it most.

Retention of Recent Backups

The system retains the two most recent backup versions, giving you peace of mind with access to both your latest data and a previous backup. This dual-version approach enhances your recovery options.

Customisable Backup Schedules

Tailor the backup frequency to suit your needs:

• Daily: Ideal for environments with frequent changes.

• Weekly: Perfect for less dynamic workloads.

• Monthly: Suitable for long-term archival needs.

Choose the schedule that aligns with your operational requirements.

Cost Structure

Backups are priced at A$0.10 per GB, calculated based on the compressed size of the backup. We charge a single fee for the backup service, despite retaining two backup versions for your convenience.

• First Invoice: Charged based on the full uncompressed size of the instance disk.

• Subsequent Invoices: Reflect the actual compressed size, ensuring cost efficiency over time. This transparent pricing model helps you manage expenses effectively.

Flexible Recovery Options

Onidel Automatic Backup offers versatile ways to access and utilise your backups:

• Restore: Revert your instance to a selected backup version, ensuring quick recovery to a previous state.

• Download Locally: Retrieve backups for local storage or disaster recovery planning.

• Attach to Running Instance: Mount backups directly to an active instance for seamless individual file or system recovery.

These options empower you to recover data on your terms.

How to Enable Automatic Backup

Enabling Automatic Backup is straightforward and can be done at different stages depending on your needs:

• During Order: Activate automatic backups directly when placing your initial order. This ensures your instance is protected from day one with no additional setup required.

• Via Backup Tab: If you didn't enable backups initially, you can turn them on later through the Backup tab on the VM management page. Simply click on the button and configure your preferred schedule.

• Disabling and Re-enabling: You can disable automatic backups at any time if they're no longer needed. However, to re-enable the feature after disabling it, you'll need to contact customer support for assistance.
