Managello's built-in backups (taken before every update) live on the same server as your install. They're perfect for rolling back a bad update — but because they're on-box, they don't protect you if the whole server or provider is lost. For real disaster recovery you want an off-site copy. There are two ways to get one.
Option 1: The Managed backup add-on (hands-off)
Add Managed backup to your plan and we run monitored, verified off-box backups for you — no scripts to maintain and no bucket to babysit. This is the simplest path if you'd rather not touch infrastructure.
Option 2: Copy the backups off the box yourself
Managello writes its backups to storage/app/backups/ inside the app's storage volume. You can ship those to any cloud storage on a schedule with a small cron job on the server — for example using rclone or aws s3 cp to push to AWS S3, Backblaze B2, Wasabi, DigitalOcean Spaces, or Google Cloud Storage.
A common pattern is a nightly cron that copies the newest dump and attachment snapshot to your bucket, with your provider's lifecycle rules handling retention.
A simpler safety net: provider snapshots
Almost every VPS host offers scheduled whole-server snapshots. Turning those on gives you an off-box, point-in-time image of the entire machine with zero scripting — a solid baseline even if you also do one of the above.
Whichever route you choose, test a restore once so you know your off-site copy is actually usable — an untested backup isn't a backup.
