Key Capabilities
What You Get
Integrated backup for your cloud VMs — scheduled, incremental, and self-service from Cloud Control.
-
Scheduled Backup Plans
Create backup plans that run automatically on your chosen schedule — hourly, daily, or custom intervals. Assign multiple volumes to a plan and manage retention in one place.
-
Incremental Backups
Only changed blocks are transferred after the initial full backup — minimising storage consumption and backup time. Each backup point is individually restorable.
-
Crash-Consistent Snapshots
Backups are taken as crash-consistent volume snapshots — the same guarantee as pulling the power cleanly. Compatible with all Linux and Windows guest operating systems.
-
Restore to New Volume
Restore any backup point to a new volume in minutes. Attach the restored volume to any VM in your project — no full VM restoration required for single-disk recovery.
-
Restore to New Virtual Machine
Restore a full VM from backup — all disks, configuration, and network settings recreated on a new instance. Recovery time measured in minutes, not hours.
-
Manual On-Demand Backups
Create a backup manually at any time — before a risky change, before a migration, or before a major deployment. Manual backups are stored alongside scheduled ones.
-
Flexible Retention
Set how many backup points to retain per plan. Older backups are automatically purged when the limit is reached — keeping storage costs predictable and storage clean.
-
One Volume, Multiple Plans
A single volume can be added to multiple backup plans simultaneously — for example, a daily plan with 7-day retention and a weekly plan with 30-day retention running in parallel.
Simple Pricing
One Rate. No Surprises.
$0.05per GB / month
Flat rate for all backup storage. No per-restore charges, no plan fees, no minimum commitment. You pay only for the storage your backups actually use — incremental backups after the first full copy keep this very low. Multiple backup points per volume are counted by actual stored delta size.
Use Cases
What People Use It For
-
VM Volume Protection
Back up your production VM root disks and data volumes on a daily schedule. Recover from accidental deletion, corruption, or failed upgrades in minutes.
-
Pre-Change Safety Net
Take a manual backup before any risky change — OS upgrade, database migration, configuration change — so you have a clean restore point if something goes wrong.
-
Dev & Test Snapshots
Snapshot dev and test environments before experiments. Roll back quickly without reprovisioning VMs from scratch or restoring from a full image.
-
Compliance Retention
Meet internal or regulatory data retention requirements by keeping backup history across the retention window you define — days, weeks, or months.
Getting Started
Up and Running in Minutes
Set up a backup plan once — Bamboozle handles scheduled backups automatically. Restore to a new volume or a new VM in minutes.
-
Create a Backup Plan
In Cloud Control, navigate to Backups and create a plan. Set the schedule (hourly, daily, custom), the retention count, and give the plan a name.
-
Assign Volumes
Add volumes to the plan — from any VM in your project. One volume can belong to multiple plans. Changes take effect immediately.
-
Backups Run Automatically
Scheduled backups run without intervention. Each backup is incremental after the first full copy — only changed blocks are stored.
-
Restore When Needed
Select any backup point, choose to restore to a new volume or a new VM, and confirm. The restore completes in minutes — no support ticket required.
Simple, Flat-Rate Backup
Backup storage is $0.05/GB/month — no separate licence, no per-restore charge. Enable it from Cloud Control and your first backup plan is running in minutes.
