Configuring Remote Backup
After a remote backup server is configured, if a file in a protected directory is changed, HSS will back up the updated file. By default, HSS backs up files in the protected directory to the local backup path configured in the Add Protected Directory dialog box. (Excluded subdirectories and file types will not be backed up). Enable remote backup to prevent local backup files from being damaged by attackers.
If the file and backup directory on the local server become invalid, you can log in to the remote backup server, obtain backup files, and manually restore the tampered websites. You can view backup paths on the Manage Remote Backup Server page. For details, see Changing a Remote Backup Server.
Constraints
