On-Demand VPS Snapshots
A safety net for your server
Save your VPS state on demand
A snapshot is a complete point-in-time copy of your entire VPS — the operating system, installed software, configuration files, and data. Snapshots let you save your server's exact state before making risky changes, so that if something goes wrong, you can roll back in seconds.
Unlike scheduled backups that run automatically in the background, snapshots are created on demand: you decide when to take them. This makes them ideal for use before software updates, configuration changes, server migrations, or any time you're about to do something you might want to undo.
On-demand
Take a snapshot whenever you choose — before updates, changes, or migrations.
When to use snapshots
Before Major Updates
Snapshot before applying OS updates, PHP version changes, or major software upgrades — then restore if something breaks.
Before Config Changes
Editing nginx config, firewall rules, or database settings? Snapshot first and roll back instantly if needed.
Server Migrations
Capture a clean state before migrating websites or data to your VPS, so you always have a known-good starting point.
Testing & Development
Snapshot a working development environment, experiment freely, and restore to the clean state when done.
Instant rollback
Restoring from a snapshot returns your entire VPS to exactly the state it was in when the snapshot was taken — operating system, software, files and all configuration. There's no need to manually reinstall software or undo changes one by one.
Snapshots are managed directly from your StackCP control panel, so you can create and restore them without any technical command-line knowledge.
