Openload + pagoda panel backup website is still a good way to match, and openload does not require our kind of certification, so privacy protection is still excellent.

Most of the files backed up by the website are general files, and general files are only kept for 30 days. Therefore, website data/database data will only be kept for 30 days, but 30 days of rolling back ordinary websites is enough.

Of course, because Big Bird's own website is placed abroad, it will be faster to use foreign methods. If you are in China, you can use the methods of Paiyun, Qiniuyun, Ali OSS, etc. to back up the website. The pagoda panel can easily Get our website backed up.
