Backup Your Data

no signup or credit card required

Once you have setup your Site(s) you are just one click away from Backup. Go to the main menu and select "Backup" and choose the Site you wish to backup. Another way to start the backup is to right click on a backup profile in the backup explorer and select Run Backup from the menu that appears.

Note: To prevent data corruption only one of these tasks, Backup or Cleanup, is allowed per site at a time.

After you confirm you will be automatically switched to the Running Backups view. From there you can view and manage the running Backups. For details about the interface click here.

The label (caption) of a Backup is the date when that Backup was started. So it is recomended to keep your computer's time up to date so that the Backup's date will not mislead you.

You view more information of each backup by clicking the Details button.

Abort	To abort the backup press the "Abort" button (Only available while the backup is running). If you would like to resume an aborted backup please right-click the backup in the Backup Explorer and choose the Resume option.
Logs	Each Backup has a log that is updated as the backup runs.

After a Backup is started it will appear in the Backups list (in the backup explorer) and you can browse it or copy/paste data from it to your local hard drive or other storage device.
To make sure the data remains the same the backup is Read Only.

How does it work?

FTP

As files are downloaded from your FTP server the information about them (modified date, permissions, if is link etc...) is stored in a local database.
If a new Backup is started and a file (on the FTP server) is found in an older Backup (the files must have the same path, size and modification date) that file will not be downloaded again from the FTP server. A virtual link to the already existing file on your computer will be created.

SQL

Because most SQL servers from web hosts will not allow outside connections, scripts will be uploaded to your site to allow the access to the SQL server.
They act as an interface for SiteVault allowing it to view/export/import tables and databases.
On the backup process the databases are stored in the local database.
Because the data is sent/received in chunks you can import/export tables of any size.
