How to use backup?

Overview

This is the place to enable backups for your Web Applications and Databases, located in the Backup menu item on the top of the dashboard. To enable or disable your backup, you will need to toggle a button to enable the backup. To view the backup summary, backup settings and backup files, click the view button.

Upon clicking the Backup your first site or Backup site link, you will be taken to a screen to select backing up your website, database, or both. Regardless of whether your website is on WordPress or not, it is highly recommended that you always backup both the web application files and the database. Not only is it recommended that you do this, as we will do all in our power to ensure that you have a safety net or backup system in place, but it is recommended that you either use a service like Github or another backup service, such as DigitalOcean or Vultr backups, just to ensure multiple backups are being created.

"I have too many backups here." Said no one ever.

You can have too little backups, but you can never have enough backups.

And trust us, it is a far better problem to have too many backups than no backups at all.

NOTES:

• RunCloud is a software that runs as a dashboard on your server.
• RunCloud DOES NOT make backups of your data automatically.
• RunCloud does not make a snapshot of your entire server -- each web application has its own backup operation that must be set manually.
