Overview of the Backup Role
The Backup role in Enhance provides dedicated storage space for website backups, ensuring secure and efficient data management.
Key Features
-
Dedicated OpenSSH Instance
- Operates separately for data transfers on port 222.
-
Push Backup Mechanism
- Web application servers push backups to their counterpart on the backup server.
- The web server cannot delete or modify backup snapshots—only the control panel server manages these operations.
-
Incremental Backups
- Efficiently saves changes, reducing storage usage and transfer time.
Tip
- Server Separation: For added security and reliability, host the backup role on a separate server from your web servers and place it in a different data center.
This setup ensures backups remain secure and accessible even if a web server experiences issues.
