# Backup

## Cloud servers \{#cloud-servers}

Selectel provides infrastructure-level services, so backups for cloud servers are not performed by default.

You can create a backup using [backups](/cloud-servers/backups/about-backups.mdx), [images](/cloud-servers/images/about-images.mdx), or [snapshots](/cloud-servers/volumes/snapshots.mdx). You can compare these tools in the [Backup methods](/cloud-servers/backups/backup-methods.mdx#backup-methods) table.

You can [create a backup manually](/cloud-servers/backups/create-backup.mdx#create-backup) or [configure automatic backup creation on a schedule](/cloud-servers/backups/create-backup.mdx#configure-scheduled-backups).

## Managed Kubernetes \{#managed-kubernetes}

In a Managed Kubernetes cluster, you can use persistent volume snapshots ([VolumeSnapshots](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/volume-snapshots/#volumesnapshots)) — copies of PersistentVolume content at a specific point in time — for data backup. You can [create a snapshot](/managed-kubernetes/volumes/volume-snapshots.mdx#create-snapshot), and then [restore a persistent volume from it](/managed-kubernetes/volumes/volume-snapshots.mdx#restore-persistent-volume-from-snapshot).

Snapshots can also be used to transfer data to another resource without having to create a new volume.

## Managed databases \{#managed-databases}

In Managed Databases, cluster backups are created automatically using WAL-G. All databases, except Redis, are restored to a point in time (Point-in-Time Recovery). The frequency of backup creation depends on the selected database.

Backups are stored  in [S3 Selectel](https://selectel.ru/services/cloud/storage/) isolated from the backups of other users. Backups cannot be downloaded. Automatic backup creation cannot be disabled.

Learn more about backups in the instructions for [PostgreSQL](/managed-databases/postgresql/backups.mdx), [PostgreSQL for 1C](/managed-databases/postgresql-for-1c/backups-1c.mdx), [PostgreSQL TimescaleDB](/managed-databases/timescaledb/backups.mdx), [MySQL sync](/managed-databases/mysql-sync/backups.mdx), [MySQL semi-sync](/managed-databases/mysql-semi-sync/backups.mdx), [Redis](/managed-databases/redis/backups.mdx).

## Backup to S3 \{#backup-to-object-storage}

To automate data backups to S3, you can use S3cmd or Cyberduck. See the [example of configuring scheduled backups using S3cmd](/s3/manage/create-backup-on-schedule.mdx).

## Backup based on the Cyber Backup Cloud product \{#backup-based-on-cyber-backup-cloud-backup}

[Cyber Backup Cloud](/cyber-backup/) is a data backup and recovery solution with ransomware protection from Cyberprotect. Cyber Backup is included in the Unified Register of Russian Software. The solution is suitable for any physical server, workstation, or virtual machine running supported versions of Windows and Linux — see the [Supported Operating Systems and Environments](https://docs.cyberprotect.ru/ru-RU/CyberBackupCloud/24.03/user/#supported-operating-systems-and-environments.html) section of the Cyber Backup Cloud documentation.
