Hetzner

Backups

Hetzner offers automated daily server backups as a storage service. This solution is designed to protect your data by maintaining seven rolling backup slots. It operates on a pay-as-you-go pricing model, meaning you only pay for what you use without any free tier available. This setup ensures that your server configurations and data are regularly saved, providing a safety net against accidental deletions or system failures.

You should choose this service when you need simple, automated protection for your Hetzner servers without managing complex backup schedules. Be aware of the cost structure: backups are priced at 20% of your server plan. This means the expense scales directly with your server size, which could become significant for larger instances. There is no free tier, so every backup slot incurs a charge based on your current server costs.
