Global Backup Settings

Each Backup role on your server automatically inherits the global Service settings. Once enabled, you will be able to offer website backups as a service to customers.

To configure global Backup settings:

• Open Settings in the left sidebar
• Select Service settings in the menu
• Navigate to the Backups section

Configurable Settings

The following global parameters define how the backup engine operates across your cluster:

• Minimum backup age: The minimum time since the last backup was taken required for a website to be backed up again. This prevents creating an excessive number of backups.
• Max backup age (Hours): The maximum target time between backups. This may be exceeded if your platform experiences high load.
• Maximum backup retention: The length of time a backup is stored before it is deleted from the backup service.
• Backup emails: When enabled, email accounts will be backed up alongside all website files and databases.
• Maximum concurrent backups: The number of concurrent backups taken per server. If this is too low, you may not achieve the 'Maximum backup age'.

• Allowed backup hours: The specific hours during which automatic backups will run. This adheres to the local timezone of your LxRoot master server.
