Backups & Restore
Automatic encrypted backups, restores that just work
Switch it on once. Every instance backs up on schedule to your server’s disk or any S3 storage, encrypted before a single byte leaves the machine. Restore any version in place, bring back an instance you deleted, or move everything to a brand new server.
Set and forget
On by default, off only when you say so
Pick the days, the hour and how many copies to keep. That is the whole setup. Every new instance joins the schedule by itself, and the page shows what each backup actually weighs.
- One schedule for the serverdays, time and copies kept, set once at the top of the page.
- Opt-out, not opt-innew instances are protected from the day they are created.
- Full or Optimizedapps that rebuild from git store just their data and settings; imported apps and databases store everything.
- Zero downtimebackups run while your sites keep serving traffic.

Restore
Three steps back to a working site
Pick the instance, pick the version, decide how it comes back. Overwrite the live instance or restore a separate copy next to it, and nothing destructive happens without a typed confirmation.
- Any version, dated and sizedthe picker shows when each backup was made and how big it is.
- Overwrite or copyreplace the live instance, or bring the backup up beside it under a new address.
- A seatbelt on every restorethe current state is saved first, and comes back by itself if the restore fails.
- Deleted instances includedbackups outlive their instance, so you can restore something you removed last month.
Anywhere
Your disk, your bucket, your keys handled for you
Back up to the server’s own disk, a mounted volume, or any S3-compatible storage. Everything is encrypted before it leaves the machine, and the keys travel with your DCMS Portal account, so a new server can pick up right where the old one stopped.
- Any S3-compatible storageCloudflare R2, Backblaze, Hetzner, Amazon S3 and friends, connected with a bucket and two keys.
- Reconnects by itselfpoint a fresh server at storage that already holds your backups and they simply appear, ready to restore.
- A backup you can holddownload any backup as a single file, keep it anywhere, upload it to any DCMS server later.
- Keys without homeworkencryption keys are created, stored and recovered through your account. You never manage them by hand.
