In addition, site backups are now encrypted at the source. That means your backups are even more secure.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Uploads Directory Now Included<\/strong> &#8211; You will now see content from your Uploads directory in your backup files, providing a more complete snapshot of your site.<\/li>\n<li><strong>European Customer Backups<\/strong> &#8211; To improve performance, we now store all backups for our EU-based customers in a data center in Ireland. This change is effective immediately for our European customers; no support request is required!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Just like before, your site will be automatically backed up in the User Portal each day via the same method.
