Answer

If you are going to use an FTP server for storing backup files, you should set up the control panel appropriately:

  1. Navigate to the repository you need:
    • For a repository on your client level, go to Home > Backup Manager > Personal FTP Repository Settings.
    • For a repository on a domain level, go to Domains > domain name > Backup Manager > Personal FTP Repository Settings.
  2. Specify the following settings:
    • FTP server's IP address or host name.
    • Directory on the server, where you want to store backup files.
    • User name and password for access to the FTP account.
  3. Click OK.

If you do not have your own FTP repository we can provide one to you for an additional monthly fee.  Our FTP servers are available onsite, off-server and some are offsite to a remote location.
