Server Backup

Back Up the Data on Your Server
Without Root Access, to an External Target

The value on your server is not the operating system — it is the data. Yedekalma backs up your web root files, MySQL databases and mailboxes without asking for root or SSH access, and delivers them straight to your own cloud storage.

Let us define the scope first

This is not a server image or snapshot product. The operating system, installed packages and system configuration are not backed up — use your hosting provider's snapshot service for that.

What we back up is application data: web root files, MySQL/MariaDB databases and IMAP mailboxes. In practice this is exactly what is hardest to recreate after a server loss — an operating system can be reinstalled, customer data cannot.

Snapshots Are Not Enough

Why Add Data Backup on Top of a Snapshot?

Provider snapshots are valuable, but relying on them alone is risky.

📍

Same provider

A snapshot usually sits in the same provider's infrastructure; an account problem takes both out at once.

⏳

Short retention

Snapshots are typically few and short-lived, so you cannot roll back to an older point.

🔍

No selective recovery

To retrieve one file you have to restore the entire server.

🦠

No scanning

A snapshot does not tell you whether it contains malicious code — you may restore an infected state.

🔓

Provider-controlled encryption

Snapshot encryption is in the provider's hands. With Yedekalma you can turn on optional AES-256 encryption with your own passphrase.

✉️

Email is not separable

Recovering a single message from a snapshot is impractical.

On Your Server

How It Behaves in Practice

🔑

No root required

You do not hand over SSH or root. The module runs with the web user's permissions.

⚡

Incremental transfer

With the optional incremental mode, only changed files, changed tables and new messages are processed, spreading the load over time.

🗜

Compression tuned for speed

Media files are not recompressed and the database is dumped with light compression.

🕒

Pick a quiet hour

Schedule backups for your lowest-traffic window.

📊

Live progress

Watch which phase a running backup is in from the panel.

🚨

Missed-backup alerts

If a scheduled backup fails, is missed, or its archive can no longer be found at the destination, you get a panel warning and an email.

FAQ

Server Backup — Frequently Asked Questions

No. Yedekalma is not a snapshot product. The operating system, installed packages, system configuration and disk image are not backed up. What we back up is application data: web root files, MySQL/MariaDB databases and IMAP mailboxes. Use your provider's snapshot service for the machine itself — the two complement each other.
Yes. The module runs on Linux PHP hosting: if your server has PHP 7.1 or newer (8.1+ recommended) and the site is reachable over the web, the module works. Windows servers are not a tested environment. There is no difference in setup between shared hosting, VPS, VDS and dedicated servers.
No. We do not ask for root or SSH access. The module runs with the web user's permissions and backs up only what it can already reach. This is a deliberate security design choice.
Install the module once per site; each appears as a separate domain in the panel. That way you can give each site its own frequency and storage target. An automatic volume discount applies as your domain count grows.
They use resources because they run on your server. To limit that, compression is tuned for speed, incremental mode processes only what changed, and you can schedule backups for your quietest hours.

Keep Your Server Data Somewhere Else

Let the snapshot stay with your provider — keep the data in your own cloud. Free until the end of the year in the current campaign.
