Linode Backup, improved performance and 📚

We’re continuously releasing updates to improve your overall backup experience and we’re excited to share some of our most recent updates!

Linode (Akamai) Support

We’re thrilled to announce that we now support Linode snapshot backups!

You’ll now find Linode in our list of providers and include your Linode server snapshot in your backup strategy.

Improved performance

Our user base continues to grow quickly and in order to continue providing the best and smoothest experience possible we’ve made major updates to our infrastructure. We proudly power more than 100k daily backups across most IaaS providers and privately hosted VPS.

We’ve put a big effort into making sure we continue being able to provide accurate backup scheduling and that our Serverless infrastructure keeps up with the demand.

You’ll notice a significant improvement in performance.
