Database Operations

Admins can take backup of database from this page. They can do it both manually and also set an automated time for the database backup.

Select Automatic Backup Time Cycle : You can specify the automatic backup time cycle from here i.e. exactly when you want the database backup to occur. You can set automatic backups on a Daily, Weekly and Monthly basis. If you select Weekly, then you will need to specify the day as well when you wish the script to take the backup.

Search Option

Select Automatic Backup Time Cycle : You can conduct a search for backups available from here.


Database Limits
As a Database grows and increases in size, it becomes too big for cronjobs of PHP scripts to handle backup as the amount of data within it causes various server limitations to exceed, usually around the 18 MB mark. Unfortunately, being big simply means that for a PHP script to loop through and save that data into temporary memory in order to generate a full backup is not possible - either the memory limit or max execution time limit on the server side of things will get underway before the backup completes and will terminate the script. Therefore, the only option at that stage is to consider using an alternative backup means such as WHM automated backups or phpMyAdmin exports.

Logs Settings

You can specify settings for various Logs from this page. If you want to keep track of the various logs, then you just need to Check the respective checkbox and enter the Number of Days for which you want to keep the particular logs. For example, if you set the value 60 for admin activity text box, then the admin activity logs will be deleted when they are more than 60 days old. Specify 0 (Zero) if you never want to remove them.

If you do not want to keep track of any of the logs, then you can do so by disabling the relevant log by Unchecking the respective checkbox. You can set Log Settings for the following by specifying the number of days :

  • Admin Activity
