Server backups: recommended settings are: Full backup = Weekly, and Count of system backup archives = 3 (at least). Following each successful backup, an email is sent to system email address as specified in Settings Syst. settings General, ID admin_email
Router backups: All routers are text-backed up, Mikrotik-type routers can also be backed up in binary format
Storing in FTP: it is highly recommended to store backups elsewhere. We also recommend to turn on Secure FTP for encrypted transmission of backups
