Dropbox is a well-known cloud file storage platform. In contrast to a web hosting service where you can have an Internet site which is accessible online by typing a domain, Dropbox enables you to store files, that you can access from their app using a personal computer or a smart phone. The files are not executed, so an html file shall be listed and not shown as an actual web page. The service enables you to access your content from any location as long as you log in with the right credentials. Because the company allows third-party companies to use their API, we've taken advantage of this service and we provide you with the chance to create regular automatic backups of the info you have on our end to a Dropbox account provided you've got enough space. This will incorporate one more level of protection for your websites because you shall always have a copy of any info that you might need and if the app is installed on your computer system, a copy shall be available not just on their web servers, but also inside a folder on your end.
Dropbox Backups in Shared Hosting
The Dropbox backup function is accessible with all our shared hosting packages and activating it takes a couple of mouse clicks, so you can link the account on our end to your Dropbox space effortlessly. The tool that you shall find inside the Hepsia hosting Control Panel shall allow you to pick which Internet sites and databases should be backed up one by one and what number of copies must be created, the highest number being 14. That way you can have a daily copy of your content for the past 2 weeks if you modify or delete something that you need. How much content will be stored within your Dropbox account and how many copies shall be available also depends on the size of the data and the disk space you have on their end. The feature can be enabled or disabled anytime and if necessary, you'll be able to effortlessly switch the Dropbox account linked to your shared hosting space on our end or even add multiple accounts and have different Internet sites backed up in different accounts.
Dropbox Backups in Dedicated Web Hosting
All Linux dedicated servers hosting packages which are offered with our Hepsia hosting CP incorporate the Dropbox backup function by default, thus if you'd like to employ this service, you just have to link the server to your account via the Dropbox section in Hepsia. The user-friendly interface will allow you to choose the Internet sites which will be backed up if you don't need the whole content which you have on the server or you just do not have a lot of free space inside your Dropbox account. You could also decide how many copies of the daily backups will be stored, thus if you pick the maximum number of fourteen, for instance, you will have a copy of your files and databases for every single day of the past two weeks. Both options can be edited anytime in the event that you change your mind in regards to the content of the number of backups that you need. You could also disconnect the Dropbox account easily if you don't want to use it or if you prefer to use the backup service that's a part of our Managed services upgrade along with other beneficial server management tasks that our system administrators can perform for you.
