Automatic Backups - How many copies are saved?

Posted on March 17, 2013

Some questions about automatic backups:

  1. It’s the same as snapshot, but without shutting down the server?
  2. How many copies are saved? One for daily? Another for Weekly? Another Monthly? My previous hosting saved weekly and monthly copies (2 copies).

Thank you.
