Backups ​
Backups is where per-account backup repositories live, along with everything that runs against them. It is one area with five tabs rather than five entries in the sidebar.
Overview ​
URL: /admin/backups
The Overview tab lists the backup repositories, one per hosting account, with the latest status of each. A server with no repositories yet says so instead of showing an empty table.
The tabs, each with its own address so it can be bookmarked:
| Tab | URL | What it holds |
|---|---|---|
| Overview | /admin/backups | Repositories and their latest status. |
| Runs | /admin/backups/runs | Every backup run, finished or in progress. |
| Restores | /admin/backups/restores | Restore jobs and their outcome. |
| Destinations | /admin/backups/destinations | Where backups are written. |
| Policies | /admin/backups/policies | What is backed up, how often, and how long it is kept. |
Each tab shows a count next to its name, so you can see at a glance whether anything is queued or failing without opening it.
How the pieces fit together ​
- A destination is a place backups are stored.
- A policy says what to back up, on what schedule, and how many copies to keep.
- A run is one execution of a policy. It succeeds, fails, or is still going.
- A restore job takes data back out of a repository.
- A repository is the per-account store that all of the above act on.
Set up a destination first, then a policy, and the runs follow on their own.
