Dropbox is a popular 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 permits you to store files, that you can access from their application using a PC or a smart phone. The files are not executed, so an html file will be listed and not presented as an actual Internet page. The service enables you to access your information from any location provided that you log in with the proper credentials. Because the company allows third-party providers to use their API, we have taken advantage of this service and we provide you with the opportunity to generate regular automatic backups of the content that you have on our end to a Dropbox account provided that you've got enough space. This will include one more level of security for your websites simply because you shall always have a copy of any information that you might require and if the application is installed on your computer, a copy will be available not only on their servers, but also within a folder on your end.

Dropbox Backups in Shared Web Hosting

The Dropbox backup function is accessible with all our shared web hosting packages and enabling it takes several mouse clicks, so you are able to link the account on our end to your Dropbox space in no time. The tool which you will find inside the Hepsia hosting Control Panel will permit you to pick which websites and databases should be backed up individually and what amount of copies should be created, the biggest number being 14. In this way you can have a daily copy of your content for the past two weeks in the event that you change or delete something that you need. How much content shall be stored in your Dropbox account and how many copies shall be available also depends upon the size of the content and the disk space which you have on their end. The function may be enabled or disabled at any time and if necessary, you may effortlessly switch the Dropbox account linked to your shared hosting space on our end or even add numerous accounts and have a number of Internet sites backed up in different accounts.

Dropbox Backups in Dedicated Hosting

All Linux dedicated servers hosting packages that are supplied with our Hepsia hosting CP include the Dropbox backup function by default, therefore if you wish to use this service, you simply have to link the server to your account via the Dropbox section inside Hepsia. The user-friendly interface will allow you to pick the websites which will be backed up in case that you do not require the whole content you have on the server or you just don't have plenty of free space inside your Dropbox account. You could also pick how many copies of the daily backups will be stored, hence if you select the maximum number of fourteen, for instance, you will have a copy of your files and databases for each and every day of the past fourteen days. Both options can be edited anytime in the event that you change your mind with regards to the content of the number of backups you need. You could also disconnect the Dropbox account with ease if you do not 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 useful server management tasks our system admins can perform for you.
