To create your portal data backup manually, switch to the Backup page in the COMMON SETTINGS section on the left sidebar and use the Data Backup section.
- select the necessary type and location of the Storage for your backup files:
If you select the Documents module or one of the third-party services connected to it (DropBox, Box.com, OneDrive, Google Drive, Yandex Disk and storages connected via the WebDAV protocol), the backup file size affects the overall disk space used on your portal.
- check the Include Mail in backup box if you want to backup the Mail data as well. This increases the backup process time and backup file size, but if this option is unchecked, the Mail data will be lost after restoring and you'll need to connect accounts again. Please refer to the Backup Mail data section to find aditional instructions for Mail.
The license data will not be included into the backup. After restoring data from the backup, you will need to upload your license file again.
- click the MAKE BACKUP button.
Once the backup process is completed you'll find the backup .tar.gz file (portal-name_date_time.tar.gz
) in the specified folder. If you've selected the Temporary storage, the link to download the created backup will be available for 24 hours.
When encryption is enabled, a newly created backup copy of the data archive will contain decrypted files. When such a copy is restored, the files will be encrypted on the disk again.
