    thanks for spotting the typo mistake !
    For the daily backup it works like this:
    everyday the system creates a backup file so you have
    Sunday file, Monday file, Tuesday etc...
    Each week the system also create a weekly backup
    so you have week 1 file, week 2 file etc...
    every month the system creates monthly backup
    so you have month 1, month 2 etc...

    if you need a hourly backup let me know - it is a not a problem

    Thanks for clarifying.
    I think this is not optimal in terms of space, as you will use it all very quick.
    Best option is to keep a certain number of snapshots, say the last 5 or 10 backups.
    Good luck with your service!

    the system compress the db so the files are not that big so 1 or 2 GB is a lot of space!

    that sucks. I always keep backups of last 3 months of files and databases (once a week backed up)

    the payments can always ebe retried but not email contacts and listings
