Dropbox is a well known cloud file storage platform. In contrast to an Internet hosting service where you can have a site which is accessible online by inputting a domain address, Dropbox permits you to store files, which you can access via their app using a computer or a smart phone. The files aren't executed, so an html file will be listed and not presented as an actual website. The service allows you to access your information from any location as long as you log in with the right credentials. Since the company allows third-party service providers to use their API, we have taken advantage of this service and we present you with the opportunity to create regular automatic backups of the content that you have on our end to a Dropbox account so long as you have enough space. This will add one more level of security for your websites simply because you will always have a copy of any data that you might require and if the app is installed on your PC, a copy shall be available not only on their servers, but also inside a folder on your end.
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'll be able to allow this option with a few clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel and our system will start making 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 choose the number of different backups that'll be created, ranging from 3 to 14. You may also choose if backups shall be generated just of the site files or of the databases as well and Hepsia will permit you to enable this option for each and every Internet site or database separately, to ensure you can back up only the content that you actually need. Enabling the service is very simple and all it takes is to include your Dropbox account within the corresponding section of Hepsia. You may even include a number of accounts and removing one that you no longer want to use takes just a click. You could use this service together with our regular backups which are created four times a day and incorporate all your files and databases.
Dropbox Backups in Dedicated Hosting
The Dropbox backups are available with all Linux dedicated servers hosting packages obtained with the Hepsia Control panel and you'll be able to link the two accounts with just a couple of mouse clicks through an exceptionally user-friendly interface which will permit you to pick the exact content that shall be backed up and the amount of copies that'll be available in your Dropbox account at any time. In this way you will be able to take advantage of this service if you don't have a sufficient amount of space with Dropbox for the entire content on the server or you simply need only some of the information. Hepsia will enable you to specify the folders to be backed up and to choose between three and 14 daily copies to be kept, so you can have backups for up to two weeks back. You could change these options with a mouse click whenever you choose or you can delete the Dropbox account from the CP if you do not intend to use it anymore. As an alternative our company offers in-house backups too, which you could get as a standalone service or as a part of the Managed Services package which comes with a variety of handy server administration tasks.
