Back up and restore your AWS environment VMs

👋 Hello from the Heropa team! We’re excited to share a powerful new feature that gives you more control and peace of mind when managing your AWS-based environments.

Introducing VM Backups for AWS Environments

Whether you’re experimenting with changes, preparing for a demo, or working with a valuable environment, it’s helpful to have a way to roll back if something doesn’t go to plan. Heropa’s new VM backups feature allows you to create on-demand snapshots of individual VMs, giving you a reliable way to restore to a known good state.

With this update, you can:

  • Back up individual VMs on demand
  • Restore a VM in place from a backup
  • Create a new VM image from a backup for testing or template creation
  • View and manage all VM backups in the new environment Backups tab

This means you can confidently test updates or make changes knowing you can easily roll back if needed. It’s also a great way to preserve critical VM states or clone VMs into new environments for validation.

Here’s a peek at what’s new:

  • A new row action on environment VMs to create a new backup
  • A Backups tab in your environment with backup details, status, and actions
  • New options to backup, delete, restore, or create a VM image from backups

We hope this feature gives you more flexibility and confidence when working with important environments. As always, we’d love your feedback—reach out if you have any questions or suggestions!
