Frequently asked questions
What DNS record types do you back up?
All of them. A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, SRV, NS, SOA, CAA — every record type your provider returns via their API.
How often are my zones checked for changes?
Depends on your plan. Free checks daily, Pro checks every hour, and Business checks every 10 minutes. When a change is detected, a full zone snapshot is captured and the diff is stored automatically.
How do I restore from a backup?
Download any snapshot as a standard BIND zone file. Import it into your provider, or use it as a reference to rebuild records manually. No proprietary format, no lock-in.
How long are backups retained?
Free keeps 30 days of history. Pro retains 1 year. Business retains everything — unlimited history for every zone, every change, forever.
Is my data safe?
AES-256 encrypted at rest. Read-only API access — we never write to your zones. Zero-storage mode available on Pro and Business: we email you the backup and delete it from our systems immediately.
What if BackupMyDNS shuts down?
We're bootstrapped and profitable since 2022. No investors, no runway clock. Your backups are standard BIND zone files — not a proprietary format. They work with or without us.
Can my team access backups?
Pro includes 3 team members. Business includes unlimited. Everyone on the team gets access to diffs, snapshots, and downloads for all connected zones.
I only have a few domains. Is it worth it?
Your first domain is free forever. No credit card, no trial expiry. And consider: what's rebuilding your MX, SPF, and DKIM records from memory at 2 AM actually worth?
Can I back up domains across multiple providers?
Yes. Connect as many providers as you need — DNSimple, Route53, Cloudflare, GoDaddy. All your domains in one dashboard.
