So this app is dope but any chance of getting a Backup and Snapshot system? Would be great if it worked like Linode.

Are you talking about **A** the server interface [Cockpit Project](https://cockpit-project.org/) or about **B** the headless, api-first [Cockpit CMS](https://getcockpit.com)?

If **A** : Wrong forum.  
If **B** : Have a look at cronjobs and rsync and also the cp cli for data export/import.
