What is cloud server backup?
Cloud server backup is an agent on your server that copies the whole machine — operating system, applications, databases and hosting accounts — to encrypted storage in a separate facility, on a schedule you set. Because the agent reads the disk itself, it captures what is really on the server, not only what a control panel chooses to export.
The first run is a full copy; later runs move only changed blocks, which keeps nightly jobs short and leaves room in the plan’s storage for many restore points.
| Server | Included in the backup set |
|---|---|
| cPanel / WHM server | Each account’s home directory, databases, mailboxes, DNS zones and SSL certificates |
| Linux VPS or dedicated | File-level copies plus a bare-metal image of the distribution, services and data volumes |
| Windows server | System state, application data and file shares |
| Database server | MySQL and PostgreSQL captured application-consistent, so a restore is transactionally sound |
Who needs cloud server backup, and who does not?
Cloud server backup suits anyone running their own VPS, dedicated or cloud server who could not rebuild it from memory after a failure. Typical buyers are cPanel resellers, stores holding order data, SaaS teams and agencies with many client sites on one machine.
- Buy it if your database changes daily, a lost day of data costs real money, or the copy must survive the host, the account or an admin who has left.
- Skip it if you only have one WordPress site on shared hosting; WordPress website backup covers that at a smaller size.
- Add an export too when a software vendor needs the database in its own format; a server image does not replace that.
Platform-specific detail is on the Linux server backup, Windows Server Backup and VPS server backup pages.
Cloud server backup plans and prices in India
WebJi® cloud server backup starts at ₹1,300 a month before 18% GST for the Backup.Help agent with 200 GB of off-site storage. Managed Support tiers at ₹7,000, ₹11,000 and ₹20,000 a month add assisted restores and server care. The 25- and 50-query tiers have the same 500 GB; what you pay extra for is the number of support queries.

Backup.Help is also ₹3,900 a quarter or ₹13,000 a year. A server that outgrows the included storage is quoted in INR before you pay. All backup products are listed under server backup solutions.
How to set the backup schedule and retention: RPO and RTO
Set the schedule from your RPO — how much data you can afford to lose — and the restore path from your RTO — how long you can be down. Agree both before the first backup runs, because they decide the schedule, the retention window and the plan size.
| Workload | Schedule | Worst-case data loss | Retention to consider |
|---|---|---|---|
| Database with steady transactions | Hourly | Up to 1 hour | 7 days of hourly points, 30 of daily |
| Application or cPanel server | Daily | Up to 24 hours | 30 days |
| Accounts subject to a dispute or audit window | Daily | Up to 24 hours | 90 days |
Seven days covers an accidental delete, 30 days covers corruption noticed late, and 90 days covers an audit. Longer retention uses more storage, so treat it as a decision, not a default. Why the full-then-incremental pattern matters is explained in incremental vs full backups.
Is a server snapshot the same as a cloud backup?
No — a snapshot sits on the same storage as the server and fails with it, while a cloud backup is a separate, versioned, encrypted copy in another facility. Snapshots are useful for quick rollbacks before an update; they are not the off-site leg of the 3-2-1 backup rule.
| Protection | Survives a disk failure | Survives deletion or ransomware | Survives losing the host |
|---|---|---|---|
| RAID | Yes | No — changes are mirrored instantly | No |
| Snapshot on the same array | Only if the array survives | Partly, until the array is hit | No |
| Cloud server backup | Yes | Yes, from an older restore point | Yes |
Encryption, access and restores in WebJi® cloud backup
Backups are encrypted with AES-256 at rest and encrypted again in transit, and only you can start a restore onto a live server. A disk removed from the facility without the key is unreadable.
- Console access: the restore console sits behind your WebJi® login; nothing overwrites production on the strength of an urgent-sounding email.
- File restores: files and folders come back from the console in minutes, without a ticket.
- Bare-metal restores: a lost machine is rebuilt — partitions, operating system and data — onto replacement hardware or a fresh instance.
- Restore speed: data size and link speed set the clock, which is why the RTO is agreed in advance.
How WebJi® sets up cloud server backup
Setup takes four steps and ends with a verified test restore, so the schedule only goes live once a copy has been proven to open.
- Email support@webji.services with the operating system, disk size, databases and anything to leave out, such as cache or log folders.
- WebJi® installs the agent and runs the first full backup, the longest run of the plan.
- You choose schedule, retention and RPO; any storage beyond the plan is quoted in INR before you pay.
- A test restore is run and shown to you before the schedule is switched on.
Email support is staffed 24/7 in Hindi and English, with an average first reply under 60 minutes. WebJi® has run hosting since 2005 for 12,000+ clients.
Frequently asked questions
Should I choose Backup.Help or a Managed Support backup plan?
Choose Backup.Help at ₹1,300 a month if someone on your team can run restores from the console. Choose a Managed Support tier, from ₹7,000 a month before 18% GST, if you want WebJi® engineers to handle restores and day-to-day server care as support queries.
What happens when my cloud backup storage fills up?
You either shorten retention so older restore points are removed, or add storage. WebJi® confirms how much storage the plan includes during setup and quotes any extra in INR before you pay, so the backup is not silently skipped.
Can a cloud server backup be restored to a different server?
Yes. A bare-metal restore rebuilds partitions, the operating system and data onto replacement hardware or a fresh instance, which is how a dead machine is replaced. Individual files can also be restored to a new path for checking first.
Can I leave folders out of the backup?
Yes. List them in the setup email. Cache directories, temporary files and rotated logs are common exclusions, and leaving them out keeps storage for the data you actually need to recover.
Does RAID on my server mean I do not need a backup?
No. RAID keeps the server running when one disk fails, but it copies deletions, corruption and ransomware encryption to every disk instantly. Only a separate copy with older restore points lets you go back to before the damage.
