Backups save the state of your services so you can return to an earlier version whenever you need to. In ZapX, backup management is built into every service: each game server, VPS, TeamSpeak server, and Discord bot has its own Backups section in the web interface. The number of custom backups you can store is determined by the backup slots for each service and an account-wide storage limit, which daily backups also count toward—both depend on your ZapX Pass.
With ZapX Pass, you get full control over your backups: create and restore custom backups with a click, and download them as files for game servers. With ZapX Pass Pro, you can even schedule backups automatically according to your own schedule.
| ZapX Pass | Custom backups per service | Automatic backup schedules |
|---|---|---|
| Plus | 1 | – |
| Pro | 3 | ✓ |
| Max | 5 | ✓ |
Slots apply per service—for example, separately to each of your game servers and each of your VPS. For VPS, snapshots share slots with custom backups.
Find an overview of all the benefits of Pass—from the ZapX AI Agent to lifetime slots—on the ZapX Pass page.
In addition to the slots for each service, there’s an account-wide storage limit. It applies to all your backups across all services combined, including daily backups:
| ZapX Pass | Account-wide storage limit |
|---|---|
| Plus | 250 GB |
| Pro | 500 GB |
| Max | 1,000 GB |
- What counts: All backups for your game servers, TeamSpeak servers, Discord bots, and databases—manual backups, retained backups, backups from your own schedules, and daily automatic backups. For game servers, TeamSpeak servers, and Discord bots, what counts is the space their backups actually use together: data that doesn’t change between two backups is only stored once. Each VPS counts once, based on the space the data on its disks actually uses, not the purchased disk size. This is measured with every backup on the host’s storage, using the Guest Agent only as a fallback, and the largest retained backup counts; the backup list shows this as “... used of ...”. If no measurement is available, the entire disk counts. Additional backups and snapshots of the same VPS don’t use any additional storage.
- What doesn’t count: Safety backups created before a wipe or a version change, lifetime archives, and the backups from moving a TeamSpeak server to ZapX.
- Limit reached: We’ll reject new backups, snapshots, and Retain requests for all services, and scheduled backups will be skipped. You’ll also see a notification. Daily backups will continue. You can always restore and delete backups, and use the daily backup toggle. We never delete existing backups, even if you downgrade. Delete old backups, turn off daily backups for services that don’t need them, upgrade to a higher tier, or add backup storage (see below).
The Backups section shows how much storage you’re already using.
If your storage limit isn’t enough, you can add extra backup storage to your ZapX Pass at any tier:
| Plan | Price |
|---|---|
| +250 GB | €2.99 per 30 days |
| +500 GB | €4.99 per 30 days |
| +1 TB | €8.99 per 30 days |
- Purchase: On the ZapX Pass page, select Expand storage on the Backup storage card, use the notification in the Backups section (when storage is at least 80% full), or add it when purchasing your pass in the shop. You’ll be charged a prorated amount immediately for the remainder of your current billing period.
- Term: Extra storage runs for the same term as your pass (on the same invoice, for the same duration, and with the same discount for longer terms) and ends with it. You can combine plans up to 4 TB of extra storage per account; contact Support for more.
- Cancel: Cancellation takes effect immediately. We’ll credit you for the unused remainder of the term. Your limit decreases immediately, but nothing is deleted—you just won’t be able to create new backups while you’re at the limit.
- You can’t add storage without an active ZapX Pass, during the trial period, if your pass has been canceled, or while another change to your pass is still pending.
