What is Appliance backup?

An Appliance backup backs up the following data.

When you back up an appliance, the following files are created.

The naming convention of a backup file is as follows:

<server_hostname>_appliance_<backup_type>_<YYYY>_<Month>_<date>_<Hours>_Minutes>.tar.gz


Where:
<server_hostname>
is the name of the control panel server
<backup_type>
indicates the type of backup (appliance)
<YYYY>_<Month>_<date>_<Hours>_Minutes>
is the time-stamp when the backup was taken.

For example, backing up an appliance example.com on Jan 06, 2003 at 11.30 would result in the following backup file:

example.com_appliance_appliance_2003_January_06_11_30.tar.gz
