Database & Website Backup Archives

Securely archive large server zip files, SQL dumps, and code snapshots to cost-effective Backblaze B2 backup storage classes.

Secure Cold-Storage Archiving

Website backups are vital, but storing them on the same physical server disk defeats the purpose of having a disaster recovery plan. If the server crashes or suffers filesystem corruption, both the live site and backups are lost.

By offloading archive zips and database dumps immediately to a cold storage class in Elept (connected to a secure Backblaze B2 vault), your backups are decoupled from your compute servers. Files are encrypted, verified with SHA256 hashes, and easily restorable.

Why Archive with Elept?

✓ Cold-Storage Economy: B2 offers extremely cheap storage ($0.005/GB/mo).
✓ Large File Support: Handle heavy ZIP and SQL gzip dumps easily.
✓ Hashed Integrity: Every archive is verified with a SHA256 checksum on upload.
✓ Isolated Backups: Keep recovery snapshots separate from your main web nodes.

Automated Server Backup Cron Script

Run a simple bash script on your web server to automate daily database dumps directly to Elept:

# Dump DB and compress
mysqldump -u db_user -p'password' db_name | gzip > backup.sql.gz

# Upload backup file to Elept API backup class
curl -X POST https://elept.com/api/v1/files \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer el_live_key..." \
  -F "file=@backup.sql.gz" \
  -F "storage_class=backup" \
  -F "visibility=private"
