Rsync has always been my favorite way of taking a full system snap shot from the command line.
Stop all services first.
rsync -aAXv /* /path/to/backup/folder --exclude={/dev/*,/proc/*,/sys/*,/tmp/*,/run/*,/mnt/*,/media/*,/lost+found}
You can also us it to backup the files to a remote location.
If you want to restore to that backup point simply un tar the archive and overwrite, stopping all services before you do the restore.

You can look on my backup script if you want : https://git.virtubox.net/virtubox/backup/src/master/rclone_backup.sh
it dump all database available, zip the web directory in a folder with the current data, and then use rclone to upload it to hubic.
But rclone can be used with dropbox, Amazon S3 or Google drive. I will try to add some documentation
It is worth mentioning that you need clarify exactly what level of snap shot( backup) you require.
A bare metal restore on a VPS has to be done differently due to the partition table and boot loader and master boot record and is more complex than the examples provided above.

I think you should take snapshort after you configed and setup service as webserver,, database, mail...
Then, you create crontab to use this script https://github.com/andreafabrizi/Dropbox-Uploader to backup your database, file, etc and tranfer it to dropbox

I am not sure what you have installed on your VPS. You could mount Google drive and rsync the files for the backup purpose.

Many virtualization like VMware, KVM, Xen, hyper-v provides the snapshot facility to backup the VM. but you need access to the NODE/hyper-visor or administrator access to panel to create snapshot, otherwise your hosting provider needs to allow the permission for your panel user(solusvm or onapp, etc) to take snapshot. Its better to check with your VPS provider.
Otherwise you should takes the backups manually from your vps.
