# What are File Backups?

### Introduction

With File Backups you can backup your server files to an external storage. Compared to Provider Snapshots, where the whole server is included in the backup, for File Backups you have the flexibility to choose which files should included (or excluded) from the backup.

### Is important where I host my servers?

No. You can backup files from any server that has SSH enabled.

### What files can I backup?

You can backup any type of files.

### Where are the backups stored?

Each plan has 5GB, 25GB or 250GB of storage included and you always have to possibility to connect your own cloud storage if you want to replace or extend the storage included in the plan.
