Updating Your Personal Details

1

Navigate to Account Settings

Click on Account in the top navigation bar of the control panel. You will land on the Profile tab by default.
2

Update Your Name

Modify the Name field to update the display name associated with your account. This name is shown in greetings and communications.
3

Verify Your Email Address

Review the Email Address field. This is the primary email used for all account communications, login, and notifications. If you need to change it, update the field with your new email address.
4

Set Your Timezone

Click the Timezone dropdown and select the timezone that matches your local time. This setting controls how all dates and times are displayed throughout the control panel, including backup schedules, task logs, and login history.
5

Choose Your Language

Select your preferred language from the Language dropdown. The control panel interface will be displayed in your chosen language.
6

Save Your Changes

Click the Update Profile Settings button at the bottom of the page to apply all your changes.

​
Configuring Email Notifications

On the right side of the Profile page, you will find the Notifications section. These toggles allow you to control which email alerts you receive:

Account Login

When enabled, you will receive an email notification every time a login is detected on your account. This is an excellent security measure that helps you identify unauthorized access attempts immediately.

Server Backup Complete

When enabled, you will receive an email notification each time a scheduled or manual backup of any of your servers completes successfully. This gives you peace of mind that your data is being protected.

Server Backup Failure

When enabled, you will receive an email notification if a backup fails to complete or encounters an error during the process. We strongly recommend keeping this notification active so you can take immediate action if a backup issue occurs.
To toggle any notification on or off, simply click its switch. Changes are saved automatically — there is no need to click an additional save button for notification preferences.
Choose the timezone that corresponds to your physical location or the timezone you prefer for viewing server events. All timestamps in the control panel — including task logs, backup times, and login history — will be displayed in your selected timezone.
Yes, you can update your email address from the Profile tab. After changing it, make sure you can still receive emails at the new address, as it will be used for all future communications, password resets, and notifications.
The control panel supports multiple languages. Click the Language dropdown to see all available options. The interface will switch to your chosen language immediately after saving.
