How to Activate Daily Backups in Hostinger

Enabling daily backups at Hostinger for Single, Premium and VPS plans

Updated 2 weeks ago

At Hostinger, we provide weekly backups for all of our hosting plans, as well as daily backups for Web Business and greater hosting plans.

If you have a Web Single or Premium plan and want to have daily backups, you can easily purchase this feature. Just navigate to Websites Dashboard and click on Backups under the Files menu on the left sidebar:

Hostinger hPanel Files menu with Backups option selected

Next, click on the Add Daily Backups button:

The Add daily backups button to purchase the service

Select the duration and payment method, and that’s it! Your hosting plan will start generating daily backups. These backups are stored separately from your hosting, so they don’t take up space on your disk quota 🚀

Daily backups are created and stored for the last 7 days. After that time, they are automatically deleted.

Manual deletion of these backups is not supported.

Alternatively, you can get daily backups by upgrading your hosting plan to Business Web Hosting or above.

Daily Backups for VPS

To activate daily backups for a VPS, go to the VPS section of hPanel, choose the server in question, and click on Snapshots & Backups in the left sidebar under the Backups & Monitoring menu:

Hostinger VPS menu highlighting Snapshots & Backups under Backups & Monitoring

Once there, click Upgrade under Daily Backups:

Or, click on Manage backup schedule here:

Backup schedule page with highlighted Manage backup schedule button and current weekly backup schedule

Select the duration and payment method, and you’re all set! Your VPS will now begin storing daily backups. These backups are stored separately from your hosting, so they don’t take up space on your disk quota 🚀

Daily backups are created and stored for 2 most recent daily backups and 2 most recent weekly backups. After that time, they are automatically deleted.

Manual deletion of daily VPS backups is not supported 💡
