Off-Site Backups – Automation Tier

The hTech Off-Site Backups Automation Tier is designed for administrators who want backups handled automatically, reliably, and without manual intervention.

This tier builds on the Free Tier by adding scheduling, automation, and advanced reliability features — ensuring your backups run consistently and are available when you need them most.

Included Features:
• Everything in the Free Tier, plus:
• Scheduled automated backups (daily, weekly, or custom schedules)
• Background execution (non-blocking)
• Cron-based automation with intelligent fallback handling
• Automatic off-site uploads to supported providers
• Retention policies to automatically manage storage usage
• Automatic pruning of old backups
• Retry logic for failed backups
• Provider-aware retry handling for S3, Google Drive, and Dropbox
• Backup failure and status notifications
• Visibility into last successful and failed backup runs
• System Health checks for backup automation
• In-app updates and ongoing improvements

Supported Off-Site Storage Providers:
• AWS S3 & S3-compatible providers
– Wasabi
– Backblaze B2
– Cloudflare R2
• Google Drive
• Dropbox

Why upgrade to Automation?
Automated backups remove the risk of human error. Backups run on schedule, retries handle temporary failures, and retention rules ensure storage stays clean — all without requiring manual action.

Ideal for:
• Production WHMCS installations
• Businesses requiring reliable disaster recovery
• Administrators who want “set it and forget it” backups
• Environments where uptime and data protection matter

Manual backups will always remain available, even without automation.
Upgrade or downgrade at any time.
