BrainyCP is a popular free Linux hosting panel with a simple and user-friendly interface. BrainyCP on VPS hosting allows you to easily manage websites, SSL certificates, set up FTP storage and monitor the whole system.
To set up a backup in the control panel, go to Utilities → Backup.
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;
- Rename task;
- Select a storage type;
- Archiving options;
- Speed limitation;
- Frequency of job execution;
- Job start time;
- Backup encryption;
- Sending email when done;
- Prohibit writing to backups.
Under Storage Type you need to specify FTP
Let's specify the necessary parameters:
- "IP server for remote backup " - ftp server address.
- "Login " - ftp server username.
- "Password " - user password.
- "Port " - port of ftp server, specify 21.
- "Folder on remote server " - you can specify the necessary directory where the backups will be created.
When you create a backup to an FTP - server, they are automatically archived in .tar format
You can specify how often backups will be created - daily, weekly or monthly
You can also specify the time when the backup will be created.
- We recommend creating a backup at night time. Creating a backup increases the load on the server, which may cause sites to open with a delay.
You can choose the compression level and number of copies yourself.
You may also choose Send email when done, so you can see if the backup was created correctly in a certain period of time
To save, click Add job
After creating the task, it will appear in the list of available tasks.
