Back up and restore DNS records

1. Open the intended domain and select Backups.
2. Create a backup using the action offered for your package.
3. Wait for the backup task to complete, then check its date, domain and record contents.
4. Download a copy when that action is available.

The account-wide Backups view can group snapshots for several zones into one run. Check which zones actually completed. A queued run has not yet secured every record simply because it appears in the list.

1. Record or export the current DNS configuration first, even if it is partly wrong. It may contain valid changes made after the older backup.
2. Select the backup for the exact domain and time you need.
3. Preview the restore. Compare additions, replacements and removals against the current zone.
4. Preserve any later valid changes, such as a new mail provider or verification TXT record, in your recovery plan.
5. Confirm the restore and follow the DNS change until provider application and verification complete.
6. Check the public DNS answers and the affected website or email service.

Restoring records does not renew a domain, replace registrar nameservers, recreate deleted mailboxes or restore a provider's signing keys. If delegation points somewhere else, restored records here may still not answer public queries. If DNSSEC or provider ownership changed, ask support to review that configuration as part of recovery.

Your package determines whether backups are allowed and how many are retained. Older snapshots may be removed according to retention. Keep an independent export before a major migration if you may need it beyond the included history.

Read the displayed reason. A zone lock, changed ownership, unsupported record type, ended allowance or a current change can prevent restoration. Resolve that condition before retrying. Do not delete and recreate the domain to force a restore. Send support the domain, backup date and operation reference so the correct snapshot can be investigated.
