Backing up your reseller hosting account is crucial to protect your business from data loss or corruption. While manual backups can be time-consuming and error-prone, automated backups provide a more reliable and efficient solution. In this article, we'll show you how to configure automated backups for your reseller hosting account in Unique Hosting Private Limited.
### Step 1: Accessing the Backup Configuration Page
Log in to your cPanel account and navigate to the Backup section. From there, click on the Backup Configuration link to access the backup configuration page.
### Step 2: Setting Up the Backup Schedule
On the backup configuration page, you'll see several options for configuring your backup schedule. The first option is the Backup Interval, which determines how often backups are created. You can choose from daily, weekly, or monthly backups.
The second option is the Backup Retention, which determines how long backups are stored. You can choose to keep backups for a specified number of days, weeks, or months.
Finally, the Backup Time option allows you to choose the time of day when backups are created. You can choose a specific time or choose the "random" option to have backups created at a random time within the backup interval.
### Step 3: Configuring Backup Destinations
Next, you'll need to configure backup destinations. Backup destinations are the locations where your backups will be stored. You can choose to store backups locally on your server, remotely on a remote FTP server, or both.
To configure backup destinations, click on the Backup Destination link on the backup configuration page. From there, you can choose your backup destinations and enter the necessary login credentials.
### Step 4: Enabling and Disabling Specific Backup Types
In addition to the general backup configuration options, you can also enable or disable specific backup types. For example, you may choose to disable backups of email accounts if you have a separate email backup solution.
To enable or disable specific backup types, click on the Backup Configuration link on the backup configuration page. From there, you can select or deselect the specific backup types that you want to include or exclude from your backups.
### Step 5: Reviewing and Confirming Your Backup Configuration
Before finalizing your backup configuration, it's important to review your settings and confirm that they're correct. You can do this by clicking on the Backup Configuration Review link on the backup configuration page.
Once you've reviewed your backup configuration, click on the Save Configuration button to apply your changes.
### Conclusion
By configuring automated backups for your reseller hosting account in Unique Hosting Private Limited, you can protect your business from data loss and corruption.
