Where:

  • Storage type – in our example, it will be FTP. ISPManager6 also supports many alternative backup storage destinations, such as Dropbox, Amazon Drive or the usual SFTP.
  • Server URL – remote host address, for example server.keepdata.thehost.ua. You can find out the address of your Cloud Storage host as follows.
  • FTP Port – 21 is usually used for FTP, 22 for SFTP.
  • Path to backup directory – path to the directory (based on the root directory for the FTP user) where the backup will be written. In our example, it is /backup/.
  • User – active FTP user on the remote storage. In our example, ftp_user, created inside the KeepData panel.
  • Password – password of such FTP user.

3. Fill in all further backup settings according to your needs and click Save:
