Introduction

Storage Pools

Storage Pools are the central distribution platform for ServersCTL. Publish backups, configuration files and deployment packages from browsers, agents or external software, then compare, version, schedule and deploy them safely across your infrastructure.

Storage Pools hold things you care about in production:

  • OpenLiteSpeed site and vhost backups.

  • cPanel account backups.

  • MariaDB / MySQL dumps.

  • HAProxy, nginx, PHP, SSL, cron, firewall, and other configuration files.

  • Browser uploads and deployment packages.

Each pool is a named, regional destination with its own quota, S3 credentials, and object browser. Storage is account-scoped: one login can have multiple pools (for example London Recovery and Toronto DR). Pools are not tied to a single server pool—you can send or restore from a Storage Pool to any enrolled member in your account when compatibility rules allow.

The product thinks in objects (for example example.com vhost, all-databases dump, nginx site config), not raw folder paths. Repeated backups of the same site become new versions under the same object.
