Today we are pleased to announce our new clone and deploy function. If you've ever wanted to just make a copy of your cloud server for testing on or just want to deploy a configure image multiple times this is for you. Its also extremely easy to use.
a) Find the cloud server that you want to clone and goto the "backup" tab, click Clone then confirm with OK
b) Wait 15-30 minutes and your new cloud server copy will of been created
c) There is no C. Your new cloud server is now ready to use!
Brilliant. Now you just need to automate moving it between data centres.
Now that would be something that is valuable!
That’s on the way!
Nice, thank you
As Ed Said would love to see it work across data centres. Inc. Moving from the UK to US. Etc.
Excellent! I love easy ways of doing things. Does this or could this also be used as a backup, because I’m now over the 80GB limit on backup images? I’ve been looking into my best options for account and entire server backups. Also WordPress Backups. Easy is always a plus!!!
Terry, what’s your best guest on a release date for moving/deploying to different geo located data centres ?
Nic, at this time, I don’t have a date available for the next release.
This is fantastic… will save a TON of time and help with development and testing.
After creating a clone, can I use one of my snapshot backups to restore it? This will be helpful if I am looking for old changes from say, a month or a week ago.
We look forward to your continuing improvements!
This is not a free feature, you need to have Snapshot Back ups enabled on the originating server.
I don’t have snapshots enabled and I don’t have this option? Also, isn’t the snapshot feature only available to smaller HD space VPS’s?
