There are several ways to back up the data from your IONOS server, depending on the operating system and if the server is accessible remotely.
Cloud Backup is a product offered by IONOS that provides a scheduled backup of your server. The plan can be configured for entire server backups or individual folders and files.
Other backup methods depend on the system and availability.
