Backup

Cloud servers

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

You can create a backup using backups, images, or snapshots. You can compare tools in the Backup methods table.

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

Managed Kubernetes

In a Managed Kubernetes cluster, you can use persistent volume snapshots (VolumeSnapshots) to back up data — point-in-time copies of persistent volume (PersistentVolume) contents. You can create a snapshot and then restore a persistent volume from it.

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

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 Selectel S3 isolated from backups of other users. Backups cannot be downloaded. Automatic backup creation cannot be disabled.

For more information about backups, see the instructions for PostgreSQL, PostgreSQL for 1C, PostgreSQL TimescaleDB, PostgreSQL PGVector, MySQL sync, MySQL semi-sync, Redis.

Backup to S3

To automate data backup to S3, you can use S3cmd and Cyberduck. See an example of configuring scheduled backups using S3cmd.
