Blesta supports Amazon S3, and Secure FTP (sFTP) backup options. One or both can be enabled, allowing offsite backups of Blesta's database at regular intervals. An On-Demand backup can also be performed, useful prior to upgrades or server transfers. To access Backup Settings visit [Settings] > [System] > [Backup].
Important Note
Backup tasks will not run unless enabled under [Settings] > [System] > [Automation]. The task there should run at least as frequently as the selected interval option for these backup methods.
