Bucket backups
Enable automatic bucket backups, review history, and restore into a new bucket.
What is a bucket backup?
A bucket backup keeps a copy of your S3 data so you can restore it into a new bucket after deletion or data loss.
Enable backups
- Open the bucket.
- Select the Backups tab.
- Click Enable backups.
- Choose a retention plan: 1, 3, or 7 snapshots.
- Review the cost summary and confirm.
Backups run daily. The monthly backup price is retention count × the bucket plan's monthly price.
Backups appear in the Backups tab after the first run. Your balance must be sufficient to enable backups.
Backup history
Each backup shows:
- Date
- Status: In progress, Successful, or Failed
- Objects
- Size
- Duration
For a failed backup, use View error to see the reason.
Restore a backup
- In the backup list, click Restore this backup.
- Choose a plan with enough capacity.
- Enter a name for the new bucket.
- Start the restore.
Lexoya creates a new bucket and restores the data into it. The current bucket is not changed.
Disable backups
To stop backups, click Disable backups in the Backups tab and confirm. Backup billing stops.
Backup buckets cannot be deleted manually. This protects the backup data.
