How does CodeGuard connect to my website?\n<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIf your website is hosted on XsoftHost\u2019s Linux servers, use the SFTP option. Also, you must use the default FTP user that comes with your cPanel account. You cannot connect to CodeGuard using any other FTP user. For XsoftHost\u2019s Windows servers, use the FTP option.\n\nIn case of other hosting providers, you can choose either the FTP or SFTP option, based on your service provider\u2019s settings.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Hosting companies tend to keep your backups in the same place as your primary files. In case of any eventuality, along with your primary files, your backups too will be affected. CodeGuard provides safe, offsite backup that is 100% independent from your hosting provider.<\/p>\n

Moreover, hosting companies provide you only the latest backup (or they keep the backup for disaster recovery purposes). CodeGuard follows a versioning system and allows you to restore a backup of an earlier date as well.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

After adding website, how to change what files to backup?\n<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAfter you add a website, any new files or directories that you add to your site will automatically backed up. CodeGuard will only exclude files and directories that you don\u2019t select when adding your website. If you need to change how your website is backed up, you need to delete and re-add your website. However, this should be handled with care as you will lose your backups. This option is only recommended if you have just added your website.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
