MAXPANEL FEATURE SPOTLIGHT

Backup and restore.
Built into your control panel.

MaxPanel is web hosting control panel software for your own server. Schedule backups for customer accounts, keep copies in storage you choose, and let customers recover the files or data they need from their account.

You provide the server and backup storage. MaxPanel provides the controls.

A RECOVERY OPTION FOR EVERYDAY MISTAKES

Recover what changed.
Keep the rest moving.

A deleted file or an unwanted update shouldn’t always mean restoring an entire account. MaxPanel lets you browse a saved snapshot and choose the content to bring back.

Bring back a file or folder

Browse the files in a saved snapshot and select what you need. Recover a missing page or an earlier folder without selecting the whole account.

Restore selected data

Choose a MariaDB database or individual tables. Focus a recovery on the affected data when a full database restore would replace too much.

Recover saved email

Browse the mail included in a saved snapshot and select the folders to restore. Email recovery stays alongside the account’s other backup tools.

Preview the choices customers can make in MaxPanel. The host configures the backup schedule and storage; customers work with their own available snapshots.

HOST-CONTROLLED BACKUP SETTINGS

Your storage.
Your schedule.
Your recovery history.

Choose where account backups go and when they run. Set how many daily snapshots to retain, run a backup when you need one, and review backup activity from the panel.

Incremental backups save changed content after the first backup, so unchanged content doesn’t need to be uploaded again in full.

Choose S3, SFTP, or local storage

Use your own S3-compatible storage or SFTP destination. Local storage is also available. Choose a separate destination when you need a copy away from the hosting server.

Keep scheduled copies encrypted

Scheduled snapshots are encrypted in the backup destination. The host supplies and manages the storage and access credentials.

Adjust coverage for each account

Include files, databases, and mail in your schedules. Override an account’s coverage when its backup needs differ from the default.

DOWNLOADABLE ACCOUNT ARCHIVES

Keep a portable account copy.

Create and download an account archive from MaxPanel. Import it into MaxPanel when you need to restore an account or move it to another MaxPanel server, with choices about which parts to bring back.

Downloaded account archives are not encrypted. Keep them in trusted storage and protect them separately.

ABOUT BACKUPS IN MAXPANEL

Backup features,
explained.

Is this a backup service or control panel software?

MaxPanel is web hosting control panel software for your own server. Its built-in backup tools connect to storage you provide. Storage fees, server costs, and ongoing backup management are separate from your MaxPanel license.

Do backups start automatically when I install MaxPanel?

The host first adds a destination and creates backup schedules. Customers can then see available snapshots for their accounts. Choose the content and retention you need, and test your recovery process.

Can customers restore their own files?

Yes. Customers can browse their available account snapshots and select files or folders to restore. MariaDB snapshots offer database and table selection; mail snapshots offer mail-folder selection.

Are all backup copies encrypted?

Scheduled snapshots are encrypted in their destination. Downloadable portable account archives are a separate option and are not encrypted. Protect those archives yourself and store them only where you trust access.

Can I use backups for email hosted on a separate mail server?

Check the backup coverage for that mail setup before relying on recovery. Scheduled account mail snapshots cover mail stored on the hosting server. A separate mail server needs its own verified backup coverage.

Will a restore preserve newer content?

A restore can replace newer versions of the content you select. Review what you are restoring and make a current backup first. Recovery depends on the saved content, the destination being available, and a working backup setup.
