Automatic backups help protect your VPS data without manual effort.
In LumaDock, you can create backup schedules that run on specific days and times with clear limits and notifications, so you always know what’s happening.

Important limits and behavior
There are a few rules to keep in mind:
Only one backup run is allowed per day for each VPS.
If your routing backup limit is 1, the newest backup replaces the previous one.
Changes made after a backup has already run will take effect from the next eligible day.
These limits help keep backups predictable and storage usage under control.
Once a schedule is active, backups run automatically based on your settings with no manual action required.
