Backup

Last update:

Cloud servers

Selectel provides infrastructure level services, so there is no default backup for cloud servers.

You can back up using backups, images, or snapshots. You can compare the tools in the Backup Methods table.

You can create backups manually or set up automatic scheduled backups.

Managed Kubernetes

In a Managed Kubernetes cluster, you can use VolumeSnapshots, which are copies of the contents of Persistent Volumes at a certain point in time, to back up data. You can create a snapshot and then restore a persistent volume from it.

Snapshots can also be used to transfer data to another share without having to create a new disk.

Cloud databases

In cloud databases, the cluster is backed up automatically using WAL-G. All databases except Redis are restored to Point-in-Time Recovery. The frequency of backups depends on the selected database.

Backups are stored at S3 Selectel isolated from other users' backups.Backups cannot be unloaded. Automatic backups cannot be disabled.

Read more about backup in the instructions for PostgreSQL, PostgreSQL for 1C, PostgreSQL TimescaleDB, MySQL sync, MySQL semi-sync, Redis.

Backup in S3

To automate data backups in S3, you can use S3cmd and Cyberduck. See an example of setting up a scheduled backup using S3cmd.
