With Bakup.io you can create a backup job to manage cloud provider snapshots, giving you more control and insight into how your snapshots are performing, its always best to know whats going on, especially when you need to restore a server.

Snapshot Jobs Table#

Once you have created some snapshot jobs, you can see everything from that same page, they will all display in an easy to use table. Allowing you to access quick information about each job. From this page you can manage all your current jobs.

The Bakup.io dashboard

By hovering over each job, you can get access to job actions, like disabling a job or editing one etc.

Job Status and Action Buttons#

You may disable a job and make it inactive, this does not delete the job it just turns it off, so no backups will be taken. This is useful if you want to keep a job configured and ready to go but need to turn it off for a while, either when performing maintenance or so you can disable a job and enable another if your current billing plan job limit has been reached.
