Introduction
This guide will cover what backups are, how you can configure your storage limits, how these limits are enforced and the charges associated with additional storage space.
MDOQ can automatically capture and store backups for you, for more information on configuring scheduled backups please contact us.
Backup Types
There are 6 types of backup:
- Full MySQL - A complete copy of your database
- Sanitised MySQL - A copy of your database stripped of customers and orders.
- Media - A full backup of your media files.
- Code - A full backup of your code base - though recoverability should really be down to source control.
- Deployment - This is a bundle of files used to display your site. (MDOQ automatically generates a deployment for you during the "I'm Done" process. The deployment is then used by MDOQ when carrying out a release for your site)
- Elasticsearch - A copy of the data within Elasticsearch.
Storage Limits
Currently the backup retention is based on the backup space of your hosting package, but the retention of essential data will not fall below
- Code - 14 daily backups (or more depending on space available)
- Database - 14 daily backups (or more depending on space available)
- Media - 14 daily backups (or more depending on space available)
