Keep your files and databases in a space outside your server. With an FTP account set up for you, you can send your backups from any device, regardless of the operating system. There is no storage hardware to buy; you pay for the space you need.
How does FTP backup work?
Creating the FTP account
We create an FTP username and password defined specifically for you. Along with these details, you also receive the server address to which you will send your backups.
Connection and backup
You can connect with the details given to you using any FTP client (FileZilla, WinSCP or the command line). You can transfer the files you want to back up to the storage space by drag and drop.
Automatic backup options
In addition to manual backups, you can configure your own backup software or scripts with the FTP space as the target if you wish. This way, your backups run automatically at the times you set.
Data security
Your data is encrypted with SSL/TLS during transfer. In our storage space, your backups are kept in a directory of your own, which other users cannot access.
Restore process
When you need them, you can access your backups over the same FTP connection and download a single file or your entire backup folder.
