Usually you will keep more than one site on the same web host. In this case SiteVault becomes invaluable.

First you specify the FTP Account for your site followed by the SQL Account. After that each Site is defined as:

• a folder on your FTP Account
• a database (or a collection of tables) from the SQL Account

Any one of these two is optional. You can have a Site without an SQL Account or you can skip the FTP Account if you are only interested to Backup/Restore your database.

• Setting an FTP Account
• Setting an SQL Account
• Setting a Site

In order to access your site's files SiteVault contains a FTP client. You may create as many FTP accounts as you want and can have them connected at the same time as well. Note: Some site hosts will not allow multiple connections from the same IP address.

Caption	The caption of the FTP Account. It will help you identify your account.
Server Type	You can choose one of multiple FTP types: FTP (plain FTP), SFTP(SSH), FTPS(implicit FTP over TLS) and FTPES(explicit FTP over TLS).
Host	The FTP server's name/IP you wish to connect to.
Port	The port on which the FTP server is listening for connections. The default value is 21 for plain FTP (Optional).
Username/Password	The username and password to communicate to the FTP server for authentication.
Root path	Once connected to the server a you start from a path specified by the FTP server. Here you can specify a different start path (Optional). We recommend you to select the web directory, the directory where your site can be found.
Use HTTP Gatway for backups	It is recommended that you use this option. The gateway will allow SiteVault to transfer the files at a greater speed than regular FTP.
URL Path	The URL of your website. SiteVault will fill it in automatically, please modify is it is not correct.
HTTP FTP Path	The FTP path to your website directory. SiteVault will try to detect it automatically.

This can be a bit tricky until you understand how it works. But after that it will only take you a right-click to Export/Backup your databases. So here's how: • In order for SiteVaultPro to backup your database(s), some scripts must be uploaded to your FTP account (because most hosts will not allow connections to the SQL server from another IP). • Then SiteVault will use them to Backup/Restore your database(s) through the HTTP protocol. • SiteVaultPro will create a special folder for them ex: "/public_html/__svpro-0d6F4j2". • You must make sure that the scripts will be visible for the Web. Ex: http://www.your-site.com/__svpro-0d6F4j2

FTP Account	Select the FTP account where the gateway will be uploaded.
Caption	The caption of the SQL Account. It will help you identify your account.
Host	The host is usually "localhost" because the SQL server is usually on the same computer as your site's scripts. If it is a different one please specify.
Port	The default port is usually the right one but if your SQL server listens on a different port please specify it.
Username/Password	The username and password required to connect to the SQL server.
HTTP FTP Path	The FTP path where to place the scripts
URL Path	SiteVault must use these scripts with the HTTP protocol. So a valid URL that will indicate the folder where the scripts are placed is required
Save & Upload Gateway	Will attempt to automatically upload the scripts to the specified FTP folder using the selected FTP Account.

The scripts do not represent a security threat because they do not contain the username and password required to connect to the SQL server. The information needed to connect will be sent to the scripts each time they are needed through GET/POST.
Note: If you need additional security you can restrict access to the scripts and only allow requests from your IP(s). Place the scripts in a separate folder. Create a ".htaccess" file and add these lines to it:

#begin .htaccess file
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from your-domain-or-ip.com
#end .htaccess file

A Site is defined as a folder on your FTP Account and a database (or a collection of tables) in an SQL Account. Any one of these two is optional. You can have a Site without an SQL Account or you can skip the FTP Account if you are only interested to Backup/Restore your database.

FTP/SFTP Backup	From this tab you can select the FTP account you would like to backup and the folders you would like to include/exclude from the backup.
Sql Backup	Select the SQL Account and then the database that contains the tables for this Site. You can set SiteVaultPro to backup all databases by selecting the root element in the database explorer window.
Local Pc Backup	In this tab you can select multiple folders and files from you local computer. Click on the tab and select the files/folders you would like to include/exclude. It's a very useful feature for backing up important data from your computer.
Schedule	If you would like to run backups automatically at certain time intervals, click on `Schedule backup` checkbox to enable it.
Cleanup	Select the number of the backups you would like to keep for the current profile. You can keep them all if you select `None` to all periods in the Cleanup tab or you can keep a constant amount of backups by selecting a Cleanup preset or entering manually the number of backups to keep.

Click on Manage backup paths if you want to add a new path to the list of backup locations.
