Settings

This section allows you to configure and finetune your JetBackup settings.

General Settings

Debug Active

Workspace Directory

Specify the directory that JetBackup will use to store all the temporary files.

To prevent issues with the system performance, we recommend moving the original folder to the new destination instead of creating a new directory.

Download Directory

Specify the directory that JetBackup will use to store all file and/or directory downloads associated to any accounts.
[ default: /usr/local/jetapps/usr/jetbackup/downloads ]
To prevent issues with system performance, we recommend creating a new directory in the destination and to NOT move the original folder.

Orphan backups are account backup files that are not associated with any active account.

JetBackup will automatically remove these backups if they are older than the number of days specified in this field. [ default: 180 days ]

Concurrent Backup Accounts Tasks

Set the maximum concurrent account backups that can run simultaneously. Please note that for each account, JetBackup will open a fork on the server. (Maximum 10 accounts)

Important: Each fork created for concurrent restores/downloads/backups can use up to 100% CPU usage per core.

Backup Fork TTL

Set the maximum time a Backup Fork can run in hours. The fork will automatically abort once it reaches the specified TTL, regardless of its current status.

Only enable this setting if you know how long the largest account on your server takes to complete its backup. Setting this too low may potentially result in some account backups being aborted prematurely.

For more information on how to set the queue priority for each account(s), please visit Manage Account.

Privacy & Security

Server Master Encryption Key

JetBackup uses an encryption key to secure valuable data. This key is required during Disaster Recovery to successfully decrypt and import JB Config backups. Please be advised, there is no way to restore from DR without this key and it's important to keep this key on a secure remote location.

User Agreement

Privacy Policy

Displays your Privacy Policy to clients. For client's subject to GDPR, also specify your backup destination information in this section.

Backup on Demand

Backup on Demand gives your users the ability to create a point-in-time full account snapshot of their account(s). On-demand backups are useful right before making any changes to a user's site, email, databases, etc. If necessary, they can conveniently roll back to the recent on-demand backup instead of restoring the last scheduled backup.
