Global Backup Settings

Global Backup Settings

The Backup role on your server inherits the global Service settings, allowing you to offer website backups as a service to customers. To configure global backup settings, follow these steps:

Steps to Configure Global Backup Settings

1. Navigate to Settings

   • Open Settings in the left sidebar.

2. Select Service Settings

   • Click Service settings in the menu.

3. Navigate to the Backups Section

   • Go to the Backups section where you can configure the following settings:

Configurable Global Backup Settings

1. Minimum Backup Age

   • Defines the minimum time since the last backup before the website can be backed up again. This prevents excessive backups.

2. Max Backup Age (Hours)

   • The maximum time between backups. This is a target, but it may be exceeded if the platform experiences high load.

3. Maximum Backup Retention

   • The duration for which a backup is retained before being deleted from the backup service.

4. Backup Emails

   • Email accounts will be included in the backup alongside website data.

5. Maximum Concurrent Backups

   • Specifies the maximum number of backups that can be taken simultaneously per server. Setting this too low may prevent the Maximum backup age target from being met.
   • Warning: Setting this too high can lead to excessive system load.

6. Allowed Backup Hours

   • Defines the hours during which automatic backups can occur, following the local timezone of your Enhance master server.
