Mshini creates automatic WordPress site and database backups every morning at approximately 1AM. The backups are stored locally and are also synced and stored off-site with Amazon S3 adding an additional layer of data redundancy.
The Mshini servers are configured to utilise FTP/S, a secure variant of FTP that makes use of an SSL/TLS layer below the standard FTP protocol to encrypt the data channels.
We make use of Xneelo’s semi managed TruServ product on top of which we’ve deployed our customised software stack. Our servers are hosted in Xneelo’s Samrand facility in Johannesburg.
