The Wabbanode Control Panel has a purpose-built backup manager allowing you to easily snapshot your server files from a point in time.
As detailed in our guide on How to Backup your Server Files, backups do not expire and are accessible at anytime. For this reason, it's highly recommended to create a Scheduled Task to automatically backup your server regularly, such as once a day.
When your backup slots are used up, your oldest backup will be automatically deleted to ensure your backups remain recent and relevant.
Accessing Scheduled Tasks
- Navigate to the Wabbanode Control Panel and press Scheduled Tasks in the sidebar.
- Observe your current scheduled tasks, such as any pre-configured daily restarts.
Creating your Scheduled Task
- On the right-hand side, give your scheduled task a name such as
Automatic Backup, and select your preferred schedule.- You may also supply your own cron if you're familiar with this.
- You may also supply your own cron if you're familiar with this.
- Your scheduled task will have been created, and it's now time to fill it with a backup action. Left-click the schedule to open it up, and press + Create Backup. Afterwards, your schedule will save automatically.
That's all you need to do, and every time your schedule occurs it will create a server backup, keeping your server files safe from unexpected issues.
If you're looking to restore one of your backups, we have a guide on How to Restore your Server Backups that may help.
