Your first backup in six steps
Your first backup in six steps

  1. Add an SSH credential

    Infrastructure › SSH credentials › New credential. Paste a private key (preferred) or a password for the account the platform will use.

  2. Add a server

    Infrastructure › Servers › Add server. Enter the host, pick the credential, compare and approve the host key fingerprint, then run the test.

  3. Add a storage target

    Storage › Storage targets › New target. Point it at an S3-compatible bucket or a local folder and wait for the health check to pass.

  4. Create a backup plan

    Backups › Backup plans › New plan. The wizard walks you through server, sources, output and encryption, storage, schedules and notifications.

  5. Run it now

    Open the plan and choose Run now. The run console shows every stage live; the run ends Succeeded with its artifacts listed.

  6. Prove a restore

    Restore › Restore points, pick the new backup and restore it to a test location - or let a drill do it every week.
