Configure Backups

Keep your data safe with regular backups.

Automatic backups

Deployalo performs automatic snapshots of your server every week. These backups include everything: database, files, and configuration.

Retention

• The last 4 weekly snapshots are kept
• You can restore by contacting support

Manual backups

In addition to automatic backups, we recommend making manual backups of your important data.

WordPress

Option 1: UpdraftPlus plugin (recommended)

1. Install the UpdraftPlus plugin
2. Go to Settings > UpdraftPlus Backups
3. Configure a destination (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.)
4. Schedule automatic backups

Option 2: All-in-One WP Migration

1. Install All-in-One WP Migration
2. Go to All-in-One WP Migration > Export
3. Download the .wpress file

n8n

Workflows are stored in the database. To export them:

1. Go to your workflow
2. Click on the three dots (...)
3. Download

For a complete backup, export all workflows individually or use the API.

Ghost

1. Go to Settings > Labs
2. Click on Export (Export content section)
3. Download the JSON file

This includes posts, pages, tags, but NOT images. You must backup images separately.

Listmonk

Export your subscribers regularly:

1. Go to Subscribers
2. Click on Export
3. Download the CSV

MinIO

MinIO is already your backup system. To backup MinIO itself:

1. Use mc mirror to sync to another destination
2. Or configure replication to another MinIO/S3

mc mirror minio/my-bucket /backup/local/

Restore from backup

From Deployalo snapshot

Contact [email protected] indicating:

• Your deployment ID
• Approximate date of the backup you need

From manual backup

Follow the reverse process for each app:

• UpdraftPlus: Restore from the plugin
• Ghost: Settings > Labs > Import
• Listmonk: Subscribers > Import

Recommendations

1. Test your backups - Restore in a test environment periodically
2. 3-2-1 Rule - 3 copies, 2 different media, 1 offsite
3. Automate - Configure automatic backups, don't rely on doing them manually
4. Document - Save the restore instructions
