Getting started with Everleap Website Cloud Backup

Overview

This article is a tour of the Website Cloud Backup management portal — how to open it, what the dashboard shows you, and what each button does. If you have not ordered the service yet, see Website Cloud Backup first.

Opening the Portal

  1. Log in to the Everleap Control Panel at cp.everleap.com.
  2. Open the Services menu and click Website/Database Cloud Backup.
  3. Click the Website Cloud Backup Portal button. The portal opens in a new tab.

This Control Panel page also shows your Website Cloud Backup Plan (with an Upgrade link), your current Usage, and the Notification Email address (with a Change link).

The Dashboard

Across the top of the dashboard:

  • Storage bar — shows how much of your plan's storage is in use, for example "8.3 GB of 30.0 GB used".
  • Search by Profile Name — filter the lists when you have a lot of profiles.
  • Language menu (top right) — choose the portal language. English, Deutsch, Español, Français, Italian, Português, ελληνικά, 日本語 and Tiếng Việt are available.
  • Settings menu (top right) — Account Settings, Change Password, Two-factor Authentication (2FA) and Sign Out.

Below that, your backups are grouped into three tables:

TableColumns
WebsitesProfile Name · Frequency · Files · Storage · Last Backup · Next Backup
DatabasesProfile Name · Frequency · Rows · Storage · Last Backup · Next Backup
Website Blacklist MonitorProfile Name · URL · Status · Blacklisted On · Last Check

Setting Up Notifications

Notification options are in Settings → Account Settings.

Account Settings page with First name, Last name, Country, Time zone, Notification schedule and the Notify backup, Notify failure and Notify capacity checkboxes
  • Notification schedule — how often you are emailed: Once a Day, Once a Week, Twice a month or Once a Month.
  • Notify backup — tell me when a backup completes.
  • Notify failure — tell me when a backup fails. Recommended: leave this on.
  • Notify capacity — tell me when I am approaching my storage limit.

The page also sets your Time zone, which is what backup schedule times are measured against. Click Save when you are done.

Create Buttons

Three round buttons sit at the top right of the dashboard:

ButtonWhat it does
Add WebsiteCreate a scheduled backup of your website files.
Add DatabaseCreate a scheduled backup of a database. Supported types: MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL and MongoDB.
Add Website Blacklist MonitorGet notified if your site is flagged as unsafe, for example by Google Safe Browsing.
Add Database Connection Details page with the Database type list showing MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL and MongoDB

All three use the same three-step wizard: Add ConnectionSchedule BackupSave Profile.

Website Row Buttons

Each row in the Websites table has its own set of blue buttons on the right. Hover over a button to see its name.

ButtonWhat it does
Edit ConnectionChange the protocol, host name and credentials used to reach your site.
Edit ScheduleChange which folders are backed up, the exclusions, retention, frequency and start time.
Backup HistoryView past backup runs and whether they succeeded.

DeleteRemove this backup profile and the backups stored under it.

Database Row Buttons

Database rows have the same buttons, with one difference: instead of Restore Files the restore button is labelled Restore Database.

Blacklist Monitor Row Buttons

ButtonWhat it does
Edit DetailsChange the monitored URL and its settings.
Website Backup HistoryJump to the website backup history for this site.
Database Backup HistoryJump to the database backup history for this site.

Notes

  • Delete removes the selected backup profile and the backups stored under it. It does not close your hosting account or your backup service.
  • The Frequency column shows On Demand for profiles that only run when you click Backup Now.
  • Website and database backups share the same storage quota.
