Frequently asked questions
What is BIS Backup and what does it save?
BIS Backup is the recurring copy service included in many Host.it plans. It typically covers web space files and folders, supported databases and, where the profile includes it, mailboxes. The exact scope depends on the activated service.
Where are backup copies stored?
Copies are stored on a secondary datacenter, geographically separated from the production site (e.g. the Pisa area versus Turin), reducing the risk that a single event affects both the live environment and the backup.
How long do copies stay available?
Multiple tiers are typically available (daily, weekly, monthly) with an overall window of up to about 90 days, as per the service sheet. For exact frequencies and days, check the plan documentation or contact our team.
How do I restore files, a database or mail?
From the Client Area you can typically choose the point in time and what to restore (the whole site, folders, files, a database or mail, where available). For complex cases, support can guide you or step in via ticket.
Is BIS Backup included in my plan?
Yes, it's included—where offered—on shared hosting, Host Cloud and multi-domain profiles. Always check the product sheet and contract of your subscribed plan.
Can I get on-demand or more frequent backups?
On some plans you'll find on-demand backups (e.g. Smart and Genius profiles) or closer intervals on Host Cloud. For archives or application dumps you can also add object storage.
