The cloud backup and restore standard product allows you to create or schedule a full backup of your cloud servers that will be sent to the cloud storage that has been purchased and allocated to your account. Upon creation of the backup you will have the option to restore the entire server, or any files or folders contained within the backup.
The backup storage quota can be adjusted by clicking the ‘Resources’ link in the left-hand pane of the control panel under the overview of your cloud account, followed by the ‘Upgrade / Downgrade’ button in the ‘Resources’ section to reveal the ‘Cloud Backup Storage’ slider. Adjust the slider to the required amount of cloud backup storage and click submit to enable the new storage quota.

Once the backup has been created, it will be visible under the ‘Backup’ section, showing the time / date and status of the backup. The status will go from ‘Pending’ to ‘Created’ following the successful completion of the backup.
