    @hugoo_souza10 yes it is. Just follow the Vultr docs:

    You cannot download snapshots and backups directly. By deploying a temporary instance, you may access any data in the snapshot or backup. Downloading data from a snapshot or backup is as simple as mounting the snapshot or backup to a new instance, and then using one of the above methods to recover your files, depending on your OS.

    Create a new instance and restore your snapshot to this instance. You should now be able to A: use the server like it was before or B: extract the backup data files and restore them to another fresh installed Cloudron somewhere else. Just make sure to finish the process before the backup gets deleted (166 hours remaining).

    Still dont get why your old Vultr VPS got destroyed...

    @subven Which file/folder do I need to download from the old server? following option B: extract the backup data files and restore them to another Cloudron installed elsewhere, to be able to upload when restoring.

      Did you choose to ignore the suggestions made?
      Or are you unable to understand them?
      What is your native language? If it helps write in your native language and translate it with a tool like deepl.com.

      Again here, the official documentation about the official restore process:

        @BrutalBirdie My native language is Portuguese-BR.

        I'll summarize what I've done so far
        With the help of a programmer/friend, we opted for the process of extracting the backup data files and restoring them to another Cloudron

        Captura de Tela 2022-11-07 às 08.47.07.png

        We just ran into some problems in the process.
        First, when I downloaded this backup data file and we try to restore to the new clouron, it shows some errors, such as:

        Captura de Tela 2022-11-07 às 08.46.03.png

        Note: I made a new vps with the Snapshot from the old one, this is how I was able to extract the backup file from my old machine.

          @hugoo_souza10 don't restore the app you need, restore the Cloudron box file which contains all informations for Cloudron, Dashboard, email and installed apps. If Cloudron is running again, you can restore single apps if not done during the restoration process.

            One more thing, since I have already installed a new vps using the snapshot from the old one, when I enter its IP Address, the following message appears:

            Captura de Tela 2022-11-07 às 09.07.13.png
            Theoretically it is installed, but I don't have access to it

              @subven Got it, restore the entire cloudron application then, not just the application I want.
              One question, how do I locate this file? Could it be this file? /var/backups

                @hugoo_souza10 log into the server via SSH. I would recommend to use WinSCP 🙂 You get your SSH logins from your hosters server panel. Browse to /var/backups and download alle folders inside the dir.

                      @hugoo_souza10 invest in an external backup provider. I would suggest something independent from your actual hoster. You can find suggestions within the drop down list of the backup configuration.
