Automatic backups are on for every VPS

Backups being included is something we say on the pricing page, so it should not depend on anyone remembering to enable them. New VPSes are created with automatic backups already switched on, and you can see the schedule and history on the Backups tab of your service.

The cost is in the plan price, as it always was — there is no separate backup line on your invoice.

One honest limit: our smallest legacy plan could not support automatic backups at all, which is part of why it is no longer sold.
