Backup and Restore Virtual Machines
Posted by Karl Zimmerman, Last modified by Jose Apablaza on 26 August 2021 10:34 AM

There are no automated backups taken for Virtual Machines, so you will need to ensure your own data is backed up using the system provided within the Control Panel.

Creating a Backup

  1. Go to your OnApp/VM Control Panel's Virtual Machines menu.

  2. Click the label of the machine you want to back up.

  3. Mouse over the "Storage" menu and click the "Disks" item. You'll see a list of the disks allocated to that virtual machine.

  4. Under the “Actions” column, click on the gear icon  (Gear) for the disk. Then click on “Backup.”  You'll see a list of all the backups taken and pending for that virtual machine, along with tools to restore backups, delete them, and convert them to templates.

    • To make a backup, click the "Take Backup" button at the end of the list.

    • To restore a backup, click the "Restore" icon (Restore Icon) next to the backup you want to revert to.

Scheduling a Backup

We no longer allow automated backups inside OnApp due to the inefficiency of the built-in automatic backup systems.  Please contact us for more information about our Backup solutions.
