Will I Lose Data When Upgrading? - EDBB Docs

Upgrade Impact at a Glance

Plan upgrades add CPU, RAM, storage capacity, and traffic allowance—but they do not reimage your VPS. Existing partitions remain exactly as they were before the upgrade.

Resource	What the upgrade does	What it doesn’t do
vCPU / RAM	Hot-adds the new allocation (reboot may be advised for the guest OS to detect it)	Doesn’t wipe memory disks or reset configs
Disk size	Expands the virtual disk capacity	Doesn’t resize partitions or filesystems automatically
Traffic allowance	Boosts monthly quota	Doesn’t reset usage mid-cycle

Keeping Data Safe

Filesystems remain untouched; extend partitions with your preferred tool (growpart, lsblk, Disk Management) if you want to use the new space.
Snapshots and qcow2 exports stay available after the upgrade.
Only a reinstall or manual destructive action removes data—plan normal backups as you would for any production system.

Best practice: take a backup before major changes. Upgrades are non-destructive, but backups protect against unrelated user mistakes or software issues during post-upgrade tuning.
