# Retrieve a website's backup settings

GET https://api.modulards.com/api/public/v1/backup-services/{site_preset_backup}

Returns how one website is backed up: whether its automatic backups are on, the schedule it inherits from its global configuration, which areas are copied (`filesystem` and `content.included`) and the exclusions configured in the dashboard. The values read back under the same keys "Update a website's backup settings" accepts.

The id is the website's backup settings id: read it from the `site_preset_backup` include of "Retrieve a website" (`?include=site_preset_backup`, which also carries the global configuration the website uses) or from `meta.updated` of "Assign websites to a backup global configuration".

A website that was never assigned a global configuration has no backup settings.
