RBX Easy Server Migration

rebuildXpress takes the backup of following items

  • Hosting Controller Database:

    This database is instrumental in server rebuild process therefore its backup is automatically taken.

  • User Accounts:

    The backup of Windows Accounts (SAM) is taken. The purpose of taking User Account backup is to let you restore user passwords using 3rd party software. This backup is stored in a specially formatted file which can be provided to IDEAL Migration, 3rd party software, which then sets previous passwords of all accounts. Remember that user accounts are created by rebuildXpress but their passwords are different and IDEAL Migration is capable of restoring their original passwords.
    Note:IDEAL Migration is not an affiliate of Hosting Controller.

  • Mail Domains and Mail Boxes:

    The backup of all mail domains and mailboxes is taken. At the time of server rebuild the mail domains and mailboxes are regenerated with their original passwords,
    Note:Email data backup is not taken by rebuildXpress

  • User Webspace Data:

    User data backup is also taken along with default permissions on each folder, the inheritable permissions are never compromised while taking backup.

    rebuildXpress also takes the backup of website statistics which is an integral part of any domain.
