Backups
Hetzner’s Backups service automates daily snapshots of your server, maintaining seven rolling slots for recovery. It’s a straightforward storage add-on that handles the routine of keeping consistent restore points without manual intervention. The pricing is tied directly to your infrastructure, costing 20% of your existing server plan.
This setup suits teams already running Hetzner servers who want simple, automated protection without managing their own backup infrastructure. The main friction point is the lack of a free tier, meaning you pay for backups from day one. Since the cost is a percentage of the server fee, larger instances incur higher backup expenses, which can compound quickly if you scale up resources.
