A snapshot captures your server’s current state, allowing you to restore it later. Snapshots are ideal before making significant changes like updates or modifications.
Snapshots are not a replacement for regular backups. Use the backup feature for comprehensive data protection.
Prerequisites
  • A VPS with the Snapshot option enabled
  • An OnetSolutions account
