Cyberpanel Disaster Recovery experiences and options

Support and Discussion General Discussion

Hello,

I’m currently testing Cyberpanel and I see that the backup options are as follows:

  1. Create/Restore Incremental Backups
  2. Remote transfer

I can’t find in the documentation if these options enable disaster recovery.

Disaster recovery would be the following scenario/possibilities:

  1. The production server is down and can’t be brought up (let’s say it’s unusable anymore)
  2. There is a backup made via CyberPanel v2 Backup to a remote server via SFTP

Is it possible to set up a new server with CyberPanel and extract all backups (Sites, emails, databases) from remote backup server?

Is that possible? Has anyone had experience?

Kind regards,

Ivan

I’ve Been in this experience recently and had to reinstall my server.
I’ve been backing up to my Google Drive.

The Backup v2 is not a disaster recovery.

You have to recreate all websites, databases and restore all rclone configurations manually before you are able to use the backup v2 feature to restore.
It takes a lot of time.

However, once the restore feature runs, it will restore your data in place.
i.e. restore databases, emails and files.
