    Is it possible to automate the backup process for my sql databases on your server. I have spent several hours with a Microsoft engineer trying to figure out how to do this. Their conclusion was that I need an SA login.

    Is there some other solution? The manual backup of databases can be time consuming and subject to human error.

    Thanks,
    Blue

    Hi Blue,

    We provide a backup method through our Control Panel API. Please see this Knowledge Base article for more information.

    Does this API only provide for automated backup to your server? or am I able to designate a server on my domain for the backup?
    Thanks

    The API can only backup database on our server. You'll have to create a script to pull the backup to your local environment.
