    Hi everyone,

    For databases you can set a specific backup interval: Sites (tab) >> Databases >> *click on any database* >> Backup interval
    I'm not sure I understand what this does. Where is this database backup stored for instance?

    On the flips side, there is also a backup interval for websites: Sites (tab) >> Website >> *click on any site* >> Backup (tab) >> Backup interval
    There I can see what is available under Existing backups on the same page, it includes web files and database backups. However, this is based on the interval set in that tab, it's ignoring the interval set on the database itself.

    So my question is, what's the difference between the backup interval for a database and a website? Could you possibly get a daily backup of the database, but only a monthly one for the web files (it doesn't seem to work that way)?

    Thank you for your insights.
