When we change something in our services we do by following the advice of users of AlterVista. We have done so for the backup, the way to secure the contents of your site by creating a “snapshot” restorable with one click, if it were needed.
Taking note of the suggestions that over time AlterVista’s users got us, both on the forum and via email, we made some changes to the backup service: mysql and web space. Now you can restore a backup of size at will at any time of day, and no more only at certain times.
Backup – AlterBlog
For AlterBlog the backup is a single object. Depending on the traffic data (see table below) is activated on a monthly / fortnightly / weekly and in case of need you can return your blog to one of the “snapshots” available. You can increase the frequency of backup for free, with AlterCent, or with a small annual fee.
Backup – AlterSite
AlterSite backup is divided into mysql database backup and backup of the web space.
The database backup is granted free of charge by AlterVista. The frequency of backup is sorted by site traffic, as follows.
- Weekly for sites with more than 20,000 pageviews / month
- Fortnightly for sites with at least 1000 pageviews / month
- Monthly for sites with at least 500 pageviews / month
You can increase the frequency of database backups and schedule backup of the web space for free, using the AlterCent, or with small payments.
Backups can be scheduled and used independently from the traffic generated from the site.
