What is the Difference Between a System Backup and a User Backup at GoDaddy?

Updated:

There are two types of backup: System Backup and User Backup. In addition to the system backups, we recommend maintaining user backups for your records. Here is a list of differences between the two backup file types:

How Backup Files are Created:

  • System Backup Files: Created automatically by our system throughout the day. There are no guarantees for a specific time. The System back up is only available after there was an initial User back up.
  • User Backup Files: Created by the customer using the back-up feature in the Hosting Control Panel's database administration tools. Alternatively, you can upload MySQL database files to _db_backups folder on the root level of the hosting account.

Where Backup Files are Stored:

  • System Backup Files: Stored on servers inaccessible to the user, but can still be restored through the control panel.
  • User Backup Files: Stored in the_db_backups folder on the root level of the your hosting account.

How Backup Files are Managed:

  • System Backup Files: Managed by our system, which periodically creates and replaces these files.
  • User Backup Files: Managed by the user. Using an FTP client, you can download, upload, rename, and delete these files.

How Backup Files are Named:

  • System Back-Up Files: Use the database name.
  • User Back-Up Files: Use the database name. While you cannot define a filename during the back-up process, you can rename a file once the process is complete.

NOTE: You must use the appropriate filename extension when renaming any back-up file: MySQL files use the .sql extension. SQL Server files use the .bak extension.

What is My Website's Root Directory and Subdomains' Root Directories?

Updated:

The root directory of your website is the content that loads when visitors access your domain name in a Web browser. The most obvious consequence of this is that you need to put your "index file" in your website's root directory for visitors to see your site at all.

Website-related applications might also need to know your website's root directory.

Your website's root directory depends on whether the domain name is your primary domain name or another type.

Your primary domain name's root directory is the root of the hosting account, which can be symbolized as a single forward slash (i.e. "/" without the quotation marks), or as an entirely blank field.

Secondary and subdomain names' root directories were specified when they were set up. You can find them listed in the Hosting Control Panel.
