Schedule backups during setup
Enable a backup schedule, such as weekly backups, when you deploy the instance. No external tools required.
What you get
Full + incremental
The platform mixes full and incremental backups to save time and space. You see which is which in the list.
Restore points with timestamps
Each backup shows name, source instance, size, type, and availability status.
Predictable cost
Compute backup is billed per schedule and per GB stored. GPU backup uses a percentage of the instance and disk costs.
Restore when you need it
Recover from accidental deletes, bad deploys, or failure without rebuilding from scratch.
Backup vs Snapshots
| Backup | Snapshots | |
|---|---|---|
| When | Automatic, on a schedule | On demand, when you choose |
| Best for | Day-to-day protection | Pre-upgrade / pre-deploy checkpoints |
| Retention | Managed by the schedule | Kept until you delete them |
From config to live
Enable on the instance

Short answers
Optidata Backup protects Cloud Compute and GPU instances on a schedule you choose. Compute backup costs $2.00/month per schedule plus $0.03 per GB-month of stored backup; GPU backup is priced at 30% of the instance and disk cost per month. Snapshots are separate, at $0.05 per GB-month. Prices as of Oct 6, 2026, Miami (US1), USD.
Are backups full or incremental?
The first point is full; later points can be incremental. The console shows which is which.
Can I control when they run?
Yes. Choose the schedule when you enable backup on the instance.
How is this different from Snapshots?
Backups are automatic and scheduled. Snapshots are manual point-in-time images you trigger before a risky change.
How much does backup cost?
For Cloud Compute, $2.00/month per schedule plus $0.03 per GB-month of stored backup. For GPU instances, 30% of the monthly instance and disk cost. Prices as of Oct 6, 2026, Miami (US1), USD.
