Roll Back a Cloud Server to a Recent Backup in Two Clicks
A bad update, a broken config, a script that did more than you wanted - it happens to everyone. Now recovering from it on a DCXV cloud server takes two clicks. Backup restore is built right into your control panel, so you can roll a server back to a known-good state without opening a support ticket.
Where to find it
Open any cloud server in your control panel and look at the Server controls. Alongside the other server actions you will see a Backups button. Click it to open the backups window for that server.
A clear list of restore points
The window lists the automatic backups available for your server. Each entry shows:
- The date the backup was taken, in your local format
- The size of the backup, in easy-to-read units like MB or GB
The most useful restore points are right there, no digging required. If a server has no backups yet, the window simply tells you so.
Restore with a single click
Found the backup you want? Click Restore next to it. Because this is a destructive action, the panel shows a clear warning first: the VM will be stopped, overwritten with the selected backup, and restarted automatically. Any data created after that backup point will be lost.
That warning matters, so read it before you confirm. If the backup is from this morning and you only need to undo an afternoon mistake, you are in great shape. If you have created new data you want to keep, copy it off the server first.
Once you confirm, the rollback runs and your server comes back up on the chosen backup, usually within minutes.
Good to know
- Backup restore is available for cloud servers.
- Restoring always brings back the whole server state as it was at the backup point - it is a full rollback, not a file picker.
- For lighter, on-demand rollback points you create yourself before risky changes, see our companion feature, snapshots.

Backup restore is live now in your control panel for every cloud server. If you are not on DCXV cloud yet and want Tier III reliability in Europe with one-click recovery, spin up a cloud server in Europe.
