Dropbox Backups
Get to know what Dropbox backups represent and the ways to activate them for your web hosting account.
Dropbox is a file storage service, which enables you to store any type of information. The files are synchronized between all computer systems in which the Dropbox application is installed and you are able to access them through any kind of device, even a smartphone. Unlike a web hosting service where the files are executed and an html file, for example, will show as an actual Internet page with text and images on it, in Dropbox you'll see the content as a list of files and folders. If you already have an account with them or open a new one, you can take advantage of our complimentary service and you can link a hosting account on our end with the Dropbox account so that our system can generate regular backups there. That way you can have a copy of your data on our servers, on their servers and also on your PC and you will be able to access it from any unit so long as the Dropbox application is installed, which will offer you more safety in case something happens with your info, like an unintentional deletion, for instance.

Dropbox Backups in Shared Hosting
If you want to take full advantage of our Dropbox backup service and you have a
shared hosting account, you can allow this option with a couple of clicks within your Hepsia Control Panel and our system will start generating backups the same day. Determined by the disk space quota of your Dropbox account and just how much content you have on our web servers, you could select the number of different backups which will be made, ranging from three to fourteen. You could also choose if backups will be generated just of the site files or of the databases too and Hepsia will permit you to enable this option for each and every site or database independently, so that you can back up precisely the content which you actually need. Activating the service is very simple and all it takes is to include your Dropbox account inside the corresponding section of Hepsia. You can even add a number of accounts and removing one you no longer want to use takes only a click. You'll be able to use this service in combination with our regular backups which are created four times a day and incorporate all your files and databases.

Dropbox Backups in Dedicated Servers
All
dedicated servers which are provided with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel incorporate the Dropbox backup feature by default, thus if you'd like to use this service, you simply have to link the server to your account from the Dropbox section inside Hepsia. The user-friendly interface will allow you to select the sites which will be backed up in case that you do not need 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 select how many copies of the everyday backups shall be stored, hence if you select the maximum number of fourteen, for instance, you'll have a copy of your files and databases for each day of the past fourteen days. Both options can be edited anytime in case you change your mind regarding the content of the number of backups you need. You can also disconnect the Dropbox account without difficulty 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 beneficial server management tasks our system administrators can perform for you.
