Dropbox is a file storage platform, which has been gaining a lot in popularity recently as it allows you to access any content kept on its servers via any device so long as their application is set up. The data is synchronized between all devices, which means you can access it at any moment. Dropbox does not offer web hosting services, thus if you upload an html file it shall not show up as a website and shall not be executed. The service is used just for storing data and we've taken advantage of the fact that they supply an API to third-party firms to create a backup service on our end, which you could use if you host your websites on our hosting servers. With this additional function you'll not need toworry about your content since you'll always have a copy of your Internet sites on the Dropbox servers and on your computer system just in case that something happens - a script update crash, deleting files by accident, etcetera.
Dropbox Backups in Semi-dedicated Servers
All semi-dedicated server accounts created on our advanced cloud web hosting platform come with the Dropbox backup function by default, so you can link an account which you have with them with a few clicks. The tool that you will find in the Hepsia hosting Control panel will enable you to choose different options - what site files and databases shall be backed up and what amount of copies have to be kept inside your Dropbox account. In this way you could have a copy just of specific content for up to fourteen days back. These options can be modified effortlessly whenever you want and you may even use a number of 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. Because the backed up content can be accessed in a standard folder on your personal computer, this function is a practical addition to the daily backups which we'll make of your whole account at least four times every single day.
Dropbox Backups in Dedicated Servers
All dedicated servers that are set up with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel come with the Dropbox backup function by default, therefore if you would like to employ this service, you simply have to link the server to your account from the Dropbox section inside Hepsia. The user-friendly interface will enable you to select the Internet sites that'll be backed up if you don't require the entire content that you have on the server or you simply do not have a lot of free space inside your Dropbox account. You can also decide how many copies of the day-to-day backups will be stored, consequently if you select the maximum number of 14, for instance, you will have a copy of your files and databases for each day of the past 2 weeks. Both options could be edited whenever you want if you change your mind with regards to the content of the number of backups that you need. You could also disconnect the Dropbox account easily if you do not want to use it or if you would rather use the backup service that is a part of our Managed services upgrade along with other handy server management tasks our system admins can perform for you.
