Backups

Backups are a Pro feature that saves the list of users of each cluster to storage you own — your own Google Drive or an S3-compatible bucket. If anything ever happens, you can rebuild your user base from a copy that lives outside CreateYourVPN.

You'll find it in the dashboard under Account menu → Backups.

What actually gets backed up

Only your users — nothing else. For every user the backup keeps:

• their account (username, subscription token),
• their data limit and how much is used,
• their expiry date and status,
• their proxy UUIDs — the secret identifiers that let their existing client apps keep connecting.

Always encrypted

Every backup file is encrypted before it is uploaded to your storage, so no one with access to your Google Drive or S3 bucket can read your users out of it. Encryption is handled for you — there's nothing to choose, enter, or remember.

Frequency and retention — you decide

• Frequency — how often a new backup is taken, from every 6 hours up to once a week.
• Retention — how old backups are handled: keep them, or automatically delete copies older than a limit you set (up to 365 days).

Set both in the Backups settings once, and it runs on its own.
