The ISPManager6 server control panel has a functionality for creating backups to remote file storages. Such a backup can be configured in just a few clicks.

Setting up backup creation

Let’s look at creating such backup copies using the example of backups to the servers of your Cloud Storage:

1. Go to your ISPManager6 control panel. Go to the Backup copies section. If backups have not been activated before, the panel will display a warning and ask you to fill in the missing settings. Click Fill out:

2. The settings window for a new backup task will open. In the first section Main you need to fill in the parameters for accessing the remote storage:

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:

4. Done! Now your backup after creation will be uploaded to your Cloud storage or any other remote server you specified.
