BrainyCP is a popular free Linux hosting panel with a simple and user-friendly interface. BrainyCP on VPS hosting allows you to easily manage sites, SSL certificates, configure FTP storage and monitor the whole system.
To set up automatic backups in the control panel, go to Utilities → Backup.
Two real-time backup options are available at once:
- Create and download a backup
- Create a backup to a local folder
- If you select Create and download backup, a backup archive will be created and prompted to download it to your local computer. In this case a copy of the backup will not remain on the server.
- If you select Create backup to local folder, then in the root directory, a backup folder will be created where the backup will be made.
In this section you will be able to create a job for automatic backups.
When you create a backup job, the options available include:
- Selective Backup;

Let's specify the necessary parameters and click Add Job
