Linux: Hosting Backup with S3 and Co.

centron Redaktion · September 2020 2 Min. Lesezeit Praxis



We’ve all been there: the moment you take your eye off the ball, one wrong tick or an inaccurate click, and your lovingly designed website is gone. Fortunately, in such cases, you can fall back on a hosting backup. To make this process as easy as possible for our customers, our technicians have introduced a new option for integrating external backups.



All centron customers with a Linux hosting or Shopware package use a range of common backup and cloud storage solutions to back up their web projects securely and reliably. The centron Plesk interface currently supports the following technologies:


centron S3 Storage
Amazon S3 Storage
FTP(s)
SFTP
DigitalOcean Spaces
Dropbox
Google Drive
Microsoft OneDrive

Configure centron S3 Storage Backup



Order centron S3 storage (if not already available)
You will need a centron S3 object storage service for the backup. You can order this at https://www.centron.de/enterprise/s3-storage/. After booking, you will receive an email from us containing your access details. Please have these to hand for the next steps.
