Dropbox Backups
What exactly does the Dropbox backup procedure involve? How to back up your hosting account to Dropbox?
Dropbox is a file storage service, that permits you to store any kind of information. The files are synchronized between all machines where the Dropbox app is set up and you are able to access them via any kind of device, even a smartphone. Unlike an Internet hosting service where the files are executed and an html file, for instance, shall display as an actual page with text and images on it, in Dropbox you shall see the content as a list of files and folders. If you already have an account with them or start a new one, you'll be able to reap the benefits of our free service and you can link an Internet hosting account on our end with the Dropbox account so that our system can generate regular backups there. In this way you could have a copy of your information on our web servers, on their servers and also on your laptop or computer and you will be able to access it from any unit provided the Dropbox app is set up, which will give you more security in the event that something happens with your information, like an unintentional deletion, for instance.
