Backup Scheduling

· Updated November 9, 2026

Using the Plesk hosting panel, which manages the hosting and domain you get from UkrHost, you can run backups according to the schedule specified in the settings. To do this, you need to:

  • Go to the Schedule section, which is located in the Website Backup window.
  • Enable regular backup (check the box) and enter the following data:
    Scheduled backup in Plesk
    backup schedule, type of backup (full or incremental), save or delete existing copies, what data should be copied (completely or partially), folder for storing copies, backup file type (archiving and splitting are available), enabling or disabling error notifications, suspending domain operation during data copying. Thanks to the convenient interface and step-by-step copying instructions, you will have no problems filling in all the necessary fields. If you do, you can always contact technical support, which works around the clock and is ready to help you at any time.
  • To complete the scheduled backup settings, click OK.

When creating backups on the hosting server, remember that they take up disk space. If you exceed the quota of your hosting plan, hosting operation may be temporarily suspended. Therefore, it is recommended to store all backups in remote FTP storage. To do this, you simply need to specify this information when the copying process is configured (see the Configuring FTP Storage in Plesk section).

In the operation of a web page, not only speed and uptime are important, but also reliability. The data contained on your site is the fruit of your work and may be of interest to your competitors, so they need maximum protection. Using backup settings, you can independently set the degree of protection for the created backup, which will not be so easy for third parties to open and view.
