The Backups section
In the menu of DirectAdmin, under Advanced Features, next to Backup and Restore, there's also a section called Backups. This isn't a feature of DirectAdmin itself, but a shortcut to WebOké Backups in My WebOké.
What happens when you click it?
If you click Backups (2), you'll go to my.weboke.nl/backups. If you're not yet logged in to My WebOké, you'll log in first. After that, you'll see WebOké Backups, with the backups we make of your package every night.
Backup and Restore or Backups?
