Dropbox Backups
Understand better what Dropbox backups stand for and the ways to enable them from your website hosting account.
Dropbox is a file storage platform, which has been gaining a lot in popularity lately as it allows you to access any content stored on its web servers from any device provided that their application is installed. The content is synchronized between all devices, which means you will be able to access it at any moment. Dropbox doesn't offer Internet hosting services, hence if you upload an html file it shall not appear as a webpage and shall not be executed. This service is used only for storing data and we've taken advantage of the fact that they provide an API to third-party firms to set up a backup service on our end, which you'll be able to use if you host your Internet sites on our servers. With this additional feature you will not have toworry about your content as you shall always have a copy of your sites on the Dropbox servers and on your personal computer just in case that something happens - a script update going wrong, deleting files accidentally, etcetera.

Dropbox Backups in Shared Website Hosting
You could use Dropbox for backups regardless of the
shared website hosting plan that you opt for when you sign up and the feature will be available within the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with all accounts. Linking one or even many Dropbox accounts takes just a few clicks and once the connection with our system is set up, you can pick if all your content shall be backed up there or just certain websites and databases. This varies according to the size of the content you have on our end and the amount of space you have within your Dropbox account. The amount of backups that you can have ranges from 3 to fourteen and our system will make a new one each day, so you could have a copy of your files for up to fourteen days back and you shall be able to access them on your PC as regular files and folders. You could change the sites or the number of backups whenever you want. This functionality is a great addition to the backups that we'll keep of your whole content four times a day. In case you no longer want your Dropbox account to be linked to our system, you can remove it with simply a click in your CP.

Dropbox Backups in Semi-dedicated Servers
All
semi-dedicated server accounts set up on our innovative cloud Internet hosting platform come with the Dropbox backup function by default, so you'll be able to link an account which you have with them with several mouse clicks. The tool that you will find inside the Hepsia hosting CP will allow you to select different options - what website files and databases shall be backed up and what number of copies must be kept in your Dropbox account. Thus you'll be able to have a copy only of specific content for up to fourteen days back. These options could be changed effortlessly whenever you want and you could even use a number of Dropbox accounts or delete ones which you no longer want to use. You should just make sure that the total size of the backups doesn't exceed the disk space limit which you have on their end. Given that the backed up content could be accessed in a regular folder on your computer, this feature is a valuable addition to the daily backups which we shall generate of your entire account at least 4 times daily.

Dropbox Backups in VPS Servers
You could use this function with all
VPS plans which we offer as long as you choose Hepsia for the hosting CP. Your Dropbox account can be linked to the server from the user-friendly interface Hepsia features and a copy of your content material will be stored within your Dropbox account on a daily basis. The maximum amount of copies that you can have at one time is 14, thus if you do not have enough free space with Dropbox or you have too much content on the VPS, you can either opt for a smaller number of copies or you can choose just particular sites to be backed up. The latter could be added or removed from the backups at any time with ease. The Dropbox feature shall enable you to get a copy of your content right on your computer every day without doing anything by hand, but you may also consider the backup service which we offer with our Managed Services upgrade given that you'll get several other administration tasks with it too.

Dropbox Backups in Dedicated Servers
The Dropbox backups are available with all
dedicated web hosting plans obtained with the Hepsia CP and you can link the two accounts with just a few mouse clicks via an incredibly user-friendly interface which will permit you to pick the exact content that shall be backed up and the amount of copies which will be available in your Dropbox account at any given time. In this way you can take advantage of this service if you do not have a sufficient amount of space with Dropbox for the whole content on the server or you simply need merely some of the information. Hepsia will allow you to specify the folders to be backed up and to pick between 3 and 14 daily copies to be kept, so you can have backups for up to fourteen days back. You can change these options with a mouse click whenever you decide or you can remove the Dropbox account from the Control Panel if you do not intend to use it anymore. As a substitute we provide in-house backups also, which you'll be able to get as a standalone service or as an element of the Managed Services package which comes with numerous handy server administration tasks.
