Last updated 3 months ago

Onidel Cloud allows users to easily download snapshots and backups of their servers. This feature is designed to provide unmatched flexibility, ownership, and control over your data - something rarely supported by other cloud providers.

Key Features

  • Root Disk Only: Only the root disk of the server can be downloaded.

  • Time-Limited URL: Generated download URLs are valid for 7 hours.

  • Seamless Access: Manage and download your snapshots and backups directly from the Onidel Cloud dashboard or via our public API.

  • Note: Only backups and snapshots created on or after 06 January 2025 are available for download.

How to Download

To download a snapshot or backup, simply click the Download button next to the desired item. Please note that the generated download URL will expire in 7 hours. Each time you click the Download button or call the Download API endpoint, a new URL will be generated, and the previous one will be invalidated.

Why Onidel Offers This Functionality

At Onidel, we believe your data belongs to you. Here's why we support this feature:

Data Portability

Many providers lock data within their ecosystem, making migrations or offline backups challenging. Onidel empowers you with full control over your data, ensuring you can easily transfer, archive, or restore it as needed.

Enhanced Disaster Recovery

By allowing users to download backups and snapshots, we provide an additional layer of security for disaster recovery planning. Your data remains accessible even if you need it in an offline environment.

Flexibility for Advanced Users

For developers and businesses with specific needs, downloading snapshots enables tasks like custom migrations, analysis, and integration with on-premises systems.

Transparency and Trust

Unlike many providers who limit access to backups for operational convenience, Onidel prioritises customer empowerment. We aim to build trust by providing features that truly put the user in control.
