Hetzner Backup vs. Snapshot Comparison

When choosing between Hetzner Backups and Snapshots, Snapshots are the clear winner for most modern infrastructure needs. They offer better flexibility, improved protection, and more cost-effective pricing for the majority of use cases.

Snapshots provide better control: Create backups exactly when you need them, before critical deployments, and keep them as long as necessary. Unlike Backups, your snapshots survive server deletion and are automatically stored in different locations for enhanced disaster recovery protection.

Cost advantages speak for themselves: For small to medium servers, Snapshots often cost significantly less than Backups. Even for larger servers where costs are similar, the enhanced features make Snapshots the obvious choice.

The automation challenge solved: The only drawback of manual snapshots – the management overhead – is elegantly solved by hetsnap. You get enterprise-grade automation with intelligent scheduling, retention policies, and cost monitoring, while keeping all the advantages of the snapshot approach.

Don't limit yourself to inflexible, expensive backup solutions. Choose Snapshots for better protection and use hetsnap to automate them professionally. Your infrastructure deserves better than basic backups.
