Taking backups in any area of IT and networking is an important step and backing up your UniFi Controller is especially important. If disaster strikes, the inconvenience of getting the UniFi devices back online can be quite large.
With our UniFi, UISP and Omada servers we perform daily backups of your server. If you need to reset your controller, you can download one from a previous date from app.hostifi.com. We store the last 30 days of backups for you to access.
