In this video, I want to show you how to setup Automated Snapshots in Lightsail. What are Snapshots? Well, snapshots are copies of your entire server at that point in time. Its basically a backup. Why are they important? If anything were to happen to your servers that causes it to become unavailable , then you can simply revert back to the most recent snapshot. Let’s say for example your server required lots of OS updates and patches, and after that update your MySQL database would not start up. That would mean you website that relies on the database is down. So to quickly get things back up, you simply would go to the snapshot before the updates were made. And get you back on track.
Enabling this feature is free, but the storage of the snapshot is not free, currently that will cost you 0.05 cents per GB per month. So if you snapshot is 50 GB, then the cost to store that one snapshot is $2.5 per month. and Lightsail keeps the most seven recent snapshot in a rolling pattern. Now you may be thinking that 50GB and 7 snapshots that will be a total of 350GB of storage that you will be paying for. But according to AWS Lightsail is smart enough to only backup the data that has changed from the previous snapshot. So in our example, the 50GB initial snapshot, and say you added 1GB of data before the next snapshot then it will only backup 1GB in the following snapshot bringing your total to 51GB of data used. So it is very cheap but provides a huge amount of security. of your server. So I would recommend enabling it.
