How to plan your Web Snapshots

A planned snapshot of a website is a snapshot of the content of your website on a specific date, previously scheduled.

At SW Hosting you can create scheduled snapshots of all your web sites through the Scheduled Snapshots checkbox in the Dashboard of your service in the SWPanel. The steps to create a scheduled SnapShot of your website are:

1. From the search box of your SWPanel, you must locate the service where the website on which you want to create a Snapshot is hosted.
