Database Backups

Use the Database Backups API to take backup of database at regular intervals. The backups contains of the zipped files of the master server database. You can choose to take the backups on your backup server or email the backup file to the specified email address. The API response will contain "done" as "1" after the cron job is successfully set.

The Scheduled Database Backup utility is only available for the Master Server database. Please do not restore the Database if its for an older version. It will cause Virtualizor to malfunction.
