Dropbox Backups
What precisely does the Dropbox backup procedure include? How to save your web hosting account to Dropbox?
Dropbox is a popular cloud file storage platform. Different from a hosting service where you can have a website that is accessible online by inputting a domain address, Dropbox allows you to store files, that you can access via their application using a PC or a smart phone. The files aren't executed, so an html file shall be listed and not shown as an actual Internet site. The service allows you to access your information from any location as long as you log in with the correct credentials. Because the firm allows third-party providers to use their API, we have taken advantage of this service and we give you the chance to create regular automatic backups of the info that you have on our end to a Dropbox account provided you have enough space. This will include one more level of security for your sites simply because you will always have a copy of any data that you could need and if the application is installed on your personal computer, a copy shall be available not only on their web servers, but also in a folder on your end.

Dropbox Backups in Website Hosting
You can use Dropbox for backups regardless of the
website hosting service that you select when you sign up and the function will be available in the Hepsia Control Panel provided with all accounts. Linking one or even multiple Dropbox accounts takes just a few clicks and as soon as the connection with our system is established, you'll be able to choose if all your data will be backed up there or only certain websites and databases. This is determined by the size of the content that you have on our end and how much space you have within your Dropbox account. The number of backups that you can have ranges from 3 to 14 and our system shall create a new one every single day, so you will have a copy of your files for up to fourteen days back and you shall be able to access them on your laptop or computer as standard files and folders. You can change the websites or the number of backups at any time. This functionality is a superb addition to the backups which we will keep of your whole content four times a day. If you no longer want your Dropbox account to be linked to our system, you'll be able to remove it with a click inside your Control Panel.

Dropbox Backups in Semi-dedicated Hosting
All
semi-dedicated hosting accounts set up on our sophisticated cloud hosting platform come with the Dropbox backup function by default, so you can link an account which you have with them with a couple of clicks. The tool which you will find in the Hepsia hosting Control panel will permit you to select different options - what site files and databases will be backed up and what number of copies should be kept inside your Dropbox account. In this way you could have a copy just of particular content for up to 14 days back. These options could be modified easily whenever you want and you could even use several Dropbox accounts or delete ones that you no longer want to use. You should only make certain that the total size of the backups does not exceed the disk space limit that you have on their end. Given that the backed up content could be accessed in a standard folder on your computer, this feature is a practical addition to the daily backups which we'll generate of your whole account at least 4 times every single day.

Dropbox Backups in VPS Hosting
You'll be able to use this function with all
VPS hosting which we offer provided that you opt for Hepsia for the hosting CP. Your Dropbox account can be linked to the server from the user-friendly interface Hepsia includes and a copy of your information will be stored within your Dropbox account each and every day. The maximum number of copies which you can have at any given time is 14, so if you do not have enough free space with Dropbox or you simply have too much content on the VPS, you can either opt for a smaller number of copies or you could pick only certain sites to be backed up. The latter could be included or removed from the backups whenever you want with ease. The Dropbox feature will enable you to get a copy of your content right on your personal computer every day without doing anything by hand, but you may also consider the backup service we offer with our Managed Services upgrade given that you'll get a number of other administration tasks with it also.

Linux dedicated hosting services ordered with the Hepsia Control panel and you could link the 2 accounts with only a few clicks via a very user-friendly interface which shall permit you to choose the exact content that'll be backed up and the number of copies which will be available within your Dropbox account at any time. This way you could take advantage of this service in case you don't have enough space with Dropbox for the whole content on the server or you simply need just some of the content. Hepsia will allow you to specify the folders to be backed up and to pick between three and fourteen daily copies to be preserved, so you'll be able to have backups for up to 14 days back. You can modify these options with a mouse click whenever you decide or you may eliminate the Dropbox account from the CP if you don't intend to use it anymore.
