Scheduling Backups

To schedule backing up of data:

1. Go to the Account tab > Back Up My Account and Websites > Scheduled Backup Settings.
2. Select the Activate this backup task checkbox and specify the following:
   • When and how often to run the backup.
   • A prefix that should be added to the backup file name.
   • Splitting of the backup file. To create a multivolume backup, select the respective checkbox and specify volume size in megabytes. Note that volume size cannot exceed 4095 megabytes.
   • Location where to store the backup file. Select the repository where you would like to store the backup file.
   • Maximum number of backup files stored in the repository. Type a number if you want to recycle backup files: When this limit is reached, the oldest backup files are removed. This rule is applied independently to batches of backups with the same prefix. For example, if you set the number of backups to keep to 1, and create three backups with different prefixes, none of the backups will be rotated, as the rule will treat every backup as an individual group of one (and thus not meeting the criterion for rotation).
   • E-mail notification on backing up errors. If you want to send an e-mail notice when something goes wrong during backing up, type the e-mail address you need.
   • What data to back up. You can back up only account settings, or account settings and all related data.
   • Suspend domains until backup task is completed. Select this option to prohibit users from making changes to content or settings of websites while they are being backed up.
3. Click OK.
