Backups

💡
Please create at a minimum, daily backups of the entire /mnt/data drive. The root volume can be backed up for the most expedient restores, but all critical data is stored under /mnt/data. Please ensure at least 4 rolling days of backups are made for the best backup coverage.

Timeline

💡

Once the host enviroment is provisioned, the BettrData Implementation team will install and configure the platform for next steps — which usually takes no more than 1-2 business days.
