Installing the management panel on a VPS server makes it easy for you to migrate it across your network and backing up ( yes , is possible with Synconix as file system backup ) or snapshots for a quick restore.

If possible we recommend you to assign multiple private networks ( NICs ) to this server in order to use a dedicated backup network and the internet public network be used only for Licensing and Updates.
