Hint for the GPG keys

Click on ”Manage GPG keys”, if the desired GPG key for encrypting the data cannot be found in the list.

1. 
   Choose the type of storing service at ”File storage service”. The following services are supported by m23:
   
   • -: This option stores the backups on the hard disk of the m23 server only. You should use this alternative, if you really do not want to use an external storage server. It is NOT possible to restore the m23 server in case of data loss e.g. caused by a head crash in the harddisk of the m23 server. The backups are stored on the m23 server in the directory
     

     /m23/root-only/serverBackups/
     

     and can be copied manually to an external storage.
     
   • scp: Secure Copy allows to copy data to any computer that is reachable by the network and that is running the SSH daemon. This option is the method of choice, if you own an SSH server that is capable of storing the backup files. To add this server to your standard backup cycle is saving your m23 server in an optimal way.
     
   • share-online.biz: The m23 server will upload the encrypted backup data to a so-called file hosting service, if you choose this option. This may be an option for you, if don't own a server for storing the m23 server backups. Your backup data is safe due to the GPG encryption before the upload. The upload of your backup data may take some time.
     
2. Click on ”Change” after you made your decision.
   
3. Depending on the choice of the external storage you need to give additional access information for the external storage.
