Introduction
The following applies to our CDN storages (origins for push CDN services) and does not apply to content cached on our CDN edge servers. We recommend that you back up your data stored on our CDN storages, as data loss can occur for various reasons, for example, accidental deletion of files, unintended overwrites, or other unforeseen issues. In such cases, backups are very helpful and can save you a lot of time and effort.
How to Back Up Your Content
Upload Your Content to Two Different Storage Servers
Let's assume you have Storage A and, on a different storage server, Storage B. Moreover, let's assume that Storage A is linked to your push CDN service (acting as its origin). To back up Storage A, simply upload the same content to Storage B. Please note that linking Storage B to a CDN service is not necessary; you can use it solely for backups. For more details, please refer to Creating a CDN Storage.
Crisis Scenario
Suppose you lose Storage A, i.e., you accidentally delete your files, causing the corresponding CDN service to lose its origin. To fully recover from this crisis, simply visit the Services/Settings page and update the CDN service settings to use Storage B.
Back Up Your Content for Free
As a customer, you have 4.00 GB of free space on a storage server of your choice. Additionally, you have 1.00 GB of free space on another storage server of your choice. The purpose of this 1.00 GB free space is to allow you to test a storage server before purchasing additional space. However, you can also use the extra 1.00 GB as free backup space. If you are not using our push CDN services (CDN Static Push or CDN Video Push), you can use the entire 5.00 GB free space as backup storage.
Notes
For added reliability, we perform daily internal backups of your data. If you require a data restoration, please contact us, and our team will assist you.
