Dropbox Backups
What precisely does the Dropbox backup procedure involve? How to back up your web hosting account to Dropbox?
Dropbox is a file storage platform, which has been gaining a lot in popularity recently as it enables you to access any content stored on its hosting servers using any device provided their software is installed. The content is synchronized between all devices, so you can access it anytime. Dropbox doesn't offer Internet hosting services, hence if you upload an html file it won't appear as a site and will not be executed. This particular service is used only for storing data and we have taken advantage of the fact that they provide an API to third-party businesses to set up a backup service on our end, which you'll be able to use if you host your Internet sites on our servers. With this added feature you won't have tostress about your content as you will always have a copy of your websites on the Dropbox servers and on your personal computer in case that something happens - a script update failing, deleting files by mistake, etc.
