All backups are stored in Cloudflare R2, an S3-compatible object storage service. R2 has zero egress fees, which means downloading your backups does not cost us (or you) extra. This is why we can offer unlimited downloads without worrying about it.
Your plan determines how long each backup is kept:
| Plan | Retention |
|---|---|
| Starter | 7 days |
| Pro | 30 days |
| Network | 90 days |
When a backup passes its retention date, it is automatically deleted. You cannot extend the retention of a specific backup beyond your plan's limit.
Each plan has a storage cap:
| Plan | Storage |
|---|---|
| Starter | 100 GB |
| Pro | 250 GB |
| Network | 2 TB |
The storage bar at the top of the backups page shows how much you have used. It turns amber at 90% and red at 100%.
Server backups and database backups share the same storage pool. A 50 MB SQL dump counts the same as a 50 MB server archive.
When you hit your storage limit, new backups will not run until old ones expire and free up space. Your existing backups are safe. Nothing gets deleted early.
If your storage stays full, your servers will not get new backups. Keep an eye on the storage bar. If it is consistently near the limit, it might be time to upgrade your plan or reduce the number of servers you are backing up.
You can see your current storage usage in three places:
