Guide to recovering deleted Vultr Compute Instances using snapshots or automatic backups
You can recover a deleted Vultr Compute Instance if you previously created a snapshot or enabled automatic backups.
Follow the method below that best fits your use case:
Snapshot Recovery: If you created a snapshot of your instance before deletion, you can deploy a new instance from that snapshot. Snapshots capture the full disk image of your instance at the time they are taken and are retained until manually deleted.
Backup Recovery: If you enabled automatic backups, Vultr retains backups for 7 days. You can restore a backup by converting it into a snapshot, and then use that snapshot to deploy a new instance.
