What’s backed up and what isn’t?
Our website backups capture all the critical components of your hosting account, including files, databases, database users, cron jobs, DNS zones, and emails. However, we exclude certain file types to optimise performance. Specifically, we omit backup files, cache files, access logs, error logs, temporary files, and trash files.
File extensions that are not backed up include;

- .sql
- .tar
- .tar.gz
