The instance’s system disk and data disk are generally local SSDs, with a small portion being cloud disks. Local data disks offer good performance but lack redundant copies. Due to the inherent lifespan of local disks, there is a probability of failure. Important data should be regularly backed up to file storage or local storage. GPUhub does not provide reliability guarantees or services for such local storage products.

Data Retention in Instances

Data retention rules in instances:
  1. Data remains intact during normal operation, shutdown, restart, and even after the expiration of annual or monthly subscription plans. However, instances are subject to a release cycle. An instance will be released if it remains shut down continuously for 15 days, and all data within the instance will be cleared.
  2. Additionally, rented hosts have a lease expiration date. The typical lease period for a host ranges from 3 months to several years. If a host is no longer available for rent, the instance will also be released when the host is taken offline (the system will display a red countdown notice on the instance at least 7 days in advance, and you can enable instance expiration/release alerts on the console homepage). Therefore, please pay attention to the lease expiration date of the host and it is recommended to subscribe to instance release/expiration notifications on the console homepage.
