Backup Protection Center

See all protection in one place — a new overview shows Server Compass app data and every VPS as protected, manual-only, or not protected, with the latest backup or snapshot and a direct path to set up anything missing

Schedule server backups from the app — turn automatic backups on without leaving Server Compass

Run hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly at the time you choose

Keep the latest 3, 7, 14, or 30 backups and choose the storage destination

Create standard backups for in-place recovery or portable snapshots for moving and rebuilding a VPS

Back up any server folder you choose — add extra files, configuration folders, or logs outside your managed apps, then select individual folders when restoring

Preserve firewall and login-protection settings — include security settings in server backups; during a restore, Server Compass places them in a review folder with instructions and never applies them automatically, so a bad rule cannot lock you out of SSH

Choose how updates appear — use a subtle sidebar notice, open the full update window automatically, or keep update checks silent

Download and install updates automatically — let Server Compass download in the background and apply the update when you quit, or start a background download manually and keep working

Set your own update-check schedule — choose how often Server Compass checks while it is running, check only at launch, or run a check immediately

Manage each server's protection from one Backups tab — scheduled backups and portable snapshots now live together instead of being split across two screens

Choose the right protection with clearer names and guidance — Server Compass App Data, Server Backups, Server Snapshots, Device Sync, and Storage now explain what each option protects and when to use it

Manage shared backup storage from a dedicated screen — see the destinations and passphrases used by app-data backups, server backups, cloud snapshots, and device sync in one place

See backup health before you act — view the last result, next scheduled run, chosen storage destination, and included contents at a glance

Keep working while updates download — the sidebar shows download progress and changes to "Relaunch to update" when ready, without interrupting your work unless you choose full-window alerts

Receive urgent security fixes after the normal update period — security-critical releases can still be offered even when a Pro license's included update period has ended

Understand Free and Pro more clearly — the redesigned License screen groups feature differences, shows device and update details, and explains the exact benefit when you reach a Free-plan limit
