# A guide to backups and snapshots

Backups and Snapshots are a feature on Scalable Cloud Servers, available to all clients at CloudCone. This guide will have complete instructions on how to get started with our backups and snapshots

# FAQ and Technical spec

Automatic backups take regular snapshots of your active file system. Since we do not stop your server to take a snapshot, booting from a backup is similar to rebooting after a non-graceful restart of your server.

While modern file systems and databases handle this scenario extremely well, you may want to take additional measures to guarantee a consistent state of your data when running very active and write intensive database-type systems. For example, with MySQL, you can set up a cron to run mysqldump to separate directory on the local file system.

* Backups are stored in the same datacenter where your server is located on
* Backups are stored in enterprise RAID 10 SAS storage nodes
* CloudCone backups are run on an isolated 10 Gbit network that shouldn't affect your server at a network level
* You can only restore snapshots or backups of the entire server, not individual files.
