Please Note
Snapshots cannot be created for Dedicated Servers.
You can manage your snapshots in the Infrastructure > Server > Actions > Snapshots section of the Cloud Panel. You can create a snapshot for each server.

Snapshots are automatically deleted after three days. Accordingly, you should regularly create a new snapshot or backup to avoid data loss.
Always turn off your server before taking a snapshot. Otherwise there is a risk of data loss.
