Question about Backup Strategy per Hosting Plan

GDimitrov

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to see how others are handling backup strategies based on different hosting plans.

For example:
I offer a hosting plan for €10/month that includes 2 backups per month, and a premium plan for €100/month that includes backups every 3 days.

My questions are:
✅ How have you implemented different backup policies per hosting package?
✅ Are you using Enhance’s built-in features, an external provider (like Wasabi, Backblaze, etc.), or your own system?
✅ Have you run into any limitations or specific considerations when applying different backup frequencies or retention rules per plan?

Thanks in advance to anyone who shares their experience!

GDimitrov check roadmap on bottom more backup options per package coming…

Thanks, Kosta!

I saw that it’s listed in the roadmap, but there’s no ETA on when this will be released.
Since I want to start offering different backup frequencies now, do you (or anyone else here) have a suggestion for a temporary or external solution?

For example:
• Could I create a cron job + custom rsync script to a separate storage based on package type?
• Is anyone using external solutions (like JetBackup, Acronis, etc.) alongside Enhance for this purpose?

Any tips or even workarounds are welcome until native support becomes available.

GDimitrov With the API you can trigger the creation of backups yourself. But since it are all incremental backups/ backups via rsync, a daily backup does not take much more space than a bi-weekly backup. So the easiest is just provide daily backups (or even multiple backups a day)

GDimitrov no ETA, just wait a bit until get well packed. (You can invest in crypto while you’re waiting- it may pay off some new hardware) 😃
Recently was released DNS entries per package so play with this for now…
