Dropbox is a well known cloud file storage platform. In contrast to a hosting service where you can have an Internet site that's accessible online by inputting a domain, Dropbox allows you to store files, which you can access through their app using a PC or a smartphone. The files are not executed, so an html file will be listed and not presented as an actual Internet site. The service permits you to access your content from any location as long as you log in with the right credentials. Because the company allows third-party providers 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 content that you have on our end to a Dropbox account so long as you've got enough space. This shall incorporate one more level of security for your Internet sites because you will always have a copy of any info that you may require and if the application is installed on your computer system, a copy will be available not only on their hosting servers, but also within a folder on your end.
Dropbox Backups in Shared Hosting
If you choose to take full advantage of our Dropbox backup service and you've got a shared hosting account, you'll be able to allow this option with one or two mouse clicks within your Hepsia Control Panel and our system will start generating backups the exact same day. Depending on the disk space quota of your Dropbox account and the amount of content you've got on our hosting servers, you can select the number of different backups that will be generated, ranging from 3 to fourteen. You may also choose if backups shall be created just of the site files or of the databases too and Hepsia will allow you to enable this option for every website or database separately, so you can back up just the content that you actually need. Activating the service is quite simple and all it takes is to include your Dropbox account within the corresponding section of Hepsia. You can even incorporate a number of accounts and removing one that you no longer want to use takes just a mouse click. You'll be able to use this service together with our regular backups that are made 4 times a day and include all your files and databases.
Dropbox Backups in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you obtain one of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages, you'll be able to take full advantage of the Dropbox backup function without difficulty because linking the two accounts takes no more than a couple of mouse clicks within the Hepsia Control Panel, which is used for the management of the semi-dedicated accounts. Based on the total size of the content you have on our end, the space quota of your Dropbox account and the information that you'd like to have, you'll be able to choose if your entire account will be backed up or just certain sites and databases. Also, you can select the number of daily backups which will be kept inside your Dropbox account at one time. The number ranges from three to 14 and may be adjusted in either direction at any time. The Dropbox account can be eliminated from our system with a mouse click if you no longer would like to use the service, although it comes really handy in caseyou want to get a copy of your files automatically on your PC on top of the full backups that we produce on a daily basis on our end.
Dropbox Backups in Dedicated Servers Hosting
All Linux dedicated servers hosting packages which are offered with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel include the Dropbox backup function by default, thus if you wish to employ this service, you only have to link the server to your account from the Dropbox section within Hepsia. The user-friendly interface will permit you to select the websites that will be backed up if you don't need the whole content that you have on the server or you just do not have a lot of free space in your Dropbox account. You can also decide how many copies of the daily backups shall be kept, consequently if you opt for the maximum number of 14, for instance, you'll have a copy of your files and databases for each day of the past 2 weeks. Both options could be edited at any time in case you change your mind with regards to the content of the number of backups which you need. You can also disconnect the Dropbox account with ease 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 practical server management tasks which our system admins can perform for you.
