How to backup and restore VPS in VirtFusion

Introduction

VirtFusion supports user-level backups. The current implementation supports on-demand and scheduled. Backups are copies of the server’s primary disk. Any additional storage that may be attached, will not be included in the backup. There are 1 slots for backups. We recommend that you power down your server before creating a backup to ensure data consistency on the disk.
