Overview
Expanding your backup storage is a straightforward process with the backup storage add-on, available directly from the Billing area. This article walks you through adding more space and what to know about billing and plan management along the way.
In this article, you will find step-by-step instructions for adding backup storage, plus important notes on billing, annual plans, and site limits.
Adding backup storage
Adding backup storage allows you to increase your backup space in increments of 10GB, providing more flexibility as your site grows.
Step 1: Access the billing area
Navigate to the Billing section from your dashboard. This can be found in the top menu bar. Click View subscription, then the Edit Plan pencil icon next to your current plan.
Step 2: Choose backup storage add-ons
In the Backup Storage section of the Edit plan modal, you'll be able to see your current backup storage allocation. Here, you can choose the amount of additional backup space you need. You can move the slider or click on the + icon.
Storage is available in 10GB blocks, and each block costs USD $10 per month.
Step 3: Review and confirm
Once you've selected your desired backup storage amount, the total cost, including any prorated charges for your current billing cycle, will be displayed.
Confirm the changes by clicking on Confirm changes. You'll receive an email with a receipt for the immediate charge and another email summarizing your updated subscription with the additional storage.
Important information
Prorated billing: Charges are prorated based on your next renewal date, whether you're on a monthly or yearly billing cycle. For annual subscriptions, backup storage add-ons are charged upfront and prorated for the year.
Backup storage blocks: Backup storage is added in 10GB blocks, so receipts will reflect the total number of blocks purchased.
Applies to the entire environment: available backup storage applies at the environment level, not per site.
Conclusion
Adding additional backup storage to your plan is a straightforward way to ensure your site has the space it needs to manage frequent or large backups. If you have any questions, our support team is available 24/7.
