Scheduling Backups

To schedule backing up of data:

1. Go to Tools & Utilities > Backup Manager.
2. Click Schedule.
3. Select the Activate this backup task checkbox and specify the
   following:
   • When and how often to run the backup.
   • Whether to make incremental backups, and if so, how often a full
     backup should be performed. A full backup contains all
     configuration and content (if you choose to back up content) but
     takes up more space. An incremental backup contains only the
     difference between the current state of your account and that at
     the time the last full backup was performed. This helps to save
     disk space, but an incremental backup is useless if the
     corresponding full backup gets deleted or becomes corrupted.
   • How long the backup files should be kept before being removed.
   • Whether to include the mail configuration and content and user
     files and databases in the backup, or only back up the domain
     configuration.
   • Whether to store the backup on the server or in an FTP storage. If
     no FTP storage has been configured, click Configure to set one
     up.
   • You can also have a notification sent to you in case of any issues
     with the backup procedure, or suspend all domains during the
     backup procedure to ensure the backup’s consistency. On Windows,
     you can also choose to have Microsoft SQL Server databases backed
     up using the native backup functionality whenever possible.
