Vultr Backup API
A backup is a scheduled, automatic, point-in-time image of an instance. We do not stop the instance when taking a backup. Booting from a backup is similar to rebooting after a non-graceful restart. [Snapshots](#tag/snapshot) are physically the same as backups, but snapshots are manual while backups run automatically on a schedule. Backups can be converted into snapshots. See our [Automatic Backup FAQ](https://www.vultr.com/docs/vps-automatic-backups) for more information.
