Snapshot review

Each Hostereo snapshot is a disk image of a separate Instance. You can use snapshots to save information from an Instance or to create a new Instance with the same information as another server.

Plans and Pricing

Snapshots are charged at $0.05 GB per month for Instances or $0,000074 GB per hour. Pricing is based on the size of the snapshot, not the size of the filesystem being saved. Snapshot billing is separate for billing from Instances.

Features

A snapshot is a complete copy of an Instance. When you take a snapshot of a server, our system will create a full disk image of that Instance and save it in your Hostereo account. Snapshots are ideal for when you want to save an impression of an Instance at a particular moment in time.

Snapshots can be used to make new Instances that contain the same information as the snapshot. For example, you can use a snapshot to restore information on an Instance to a particular moment in time, move your server to another location, or downgrade the size of your server.

Hostereo stores snapshots in your account permanently unless you choose to manually delete them. Snapshots are independent disk images, so even if you delete an Instance that was used to create a snapshot, the snapshot will still be available in the Images section of your Hostereo account.
