Any provider supports (free or not) snapshot of vps?
Hi guys,
I am currently using DigitalOcean who provides free snapshot for their droplets. I built up around 10 backups manfully for my vps now, don't know if there is an amount limitation to do so.
I also tried Vultr before and they did provide the similar feature.
Do you guys know any other providers support this feature (free or not) ?
Thanks for sharing
Thanked by 1rokok

We include free snapshots
good to know that! I have checked your offers posted, looks like they are all ovz boxes. any KVM or XEN plan available?
Yeah, impactvps (awmusic above) provide free snapshots.
There are other providers like wable, Aruba etc, which provide paid snapshots.
Yes, but not at LEB pricing
Checked your website, didn't find quotes about kvm ones. I assume VDR 4- 20 are ovz, aren't they?

Yes they are openvz. I haven't gotten around to putting up the new KVM page yet. Though I have offered it via private sales for the last few months.
We support live snapshotting on Luna Node, with KVM instances. The first 20 GB of space is free; past that, it is $0.003/GB/mo billed hourly. Snapshots can be taken from the control panel or via our API; the instance does not need to be powered down during snapshotting.
iwStack also supports snapshots, and they use Xen and KVM.
Delimiters Cloud Resource Pool and Cloud Storage VPS both support on-demand snapshoting as well as scheduled snapshots.
There is no additional charge for snapshots, the space is taken from your data storage pool.
digitalocean and vultr for now. aruba has 50GB ftp for snapshots if I'm not mistaken. how would you backup to aruba ftp, i have no idea.
As a side note, providers that don't allow to download snapshots for local backup but only charge for hosting them act unfairly IMO (our bandwidth quota can be used for those downloads if that's an issue).
Who does that? That really defeats the point.
digitalocean afaik.
French provider Nodilex.com offer snapshots. Not sure if free or not.
It's 50 GB for uploading images, but you can't use it for snapshots, if I'm not wrong
and Vutlr, they also don't allow snapshot download.
this feature is not only used for backup but also can be useful for testing purpose, to restore everything in minutes is just great.
Well, you just let me realize that I should be able to download my backup :P.
Is it possible on your plan? @Awmusic12635 @perennate said:
amazing feature!
Not at the moment, but if you ticket us we will give you a download link. We have been making a large amount of behind the scenes changes to prep for additional features, such as downloading the snapshots.
Its critical! I personally use snapshot to generate a point in time backup and then download it for safe keeping.
Also really useful if you want to deploy the same image across multiple providers.

I find something here
Yeah, it's great if you have dedicated servers and some virtualization like proxmox/virtualbox/etc in place.
Yes, on Luna Node you can download snapshots from the Images sidebar tab (just select an image and then click download button). Recently it has also been made available in the API. There's a pretty cool project at https://github.com/rickparrish/lndbackup that might be useful (automatic remote backup).
perhaps, I was wrong:-)
For my personal VMs, I run daily automated snapshots and then just download them automatically and push them to Hubic
Hi, just checked some of your offers, sounds great especially double resource on annul plan. Which location do you provide? any test IP? thanks
Atlanta but LA, NY are hot in its heels.
Hey, we provide One-Click Snapshots.
Pricing is £0.002 per hour, regardless of the disk size and any other factors.
Snapshots are stored on a dedicated snapshot store.
XVM Labs allow snapshots. I do not know their parent company but probably the main company also might allow snapshots.
BuyVM has snapshots and nightly backups on all 256MB+ OpenVZ plans
Francisco
Add Secure Dragon to this list (OpenVZ only).
BandwagonHost
Can they be user-triggered or only scheduled type?
