Dedicated hosting is usually accompanied by a range of managed services, such as system administration,
firewalls, backups, remote reboots etc. Parallels H-Sphere facilitates providing some of such services. The backup scheduling
manager receives backup requests from client control panels and is ready to display them to you in a convenient
manner. Attending to other user requests, such as remote reboots, adding extra IPs and server upgrades, is assisted by
the trouble ticket system.
In your TT system, you receive requests from clients both with your servers and with your provider's ones.
Forward the latter to your provider specifying the server name and id.
Regular Backups
Parallels H-Sphere implements backup scheduling manager for
client dedicated servers.
To check backup schedule, go to Backup Maintenance in the Dedicated servers menu. After you choose
search criteria, a page similar to this appears:

 (Cancel the task) icon, and the user
will be notified that this task has been cancelled.
