## VNC

Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a remote desktop-sharing protocol. It allows you to visualize the graphical screen output of a remote computer and transfer local keyboard and mouse events to the remote computer using a network connection. The protocol is platform-independent, which means that various clients exist for Linux, Windows, and macOS-based computers. The VNC server used on the Mac mini is directly integrated with the macOS system without any restrictions from our side. Check out our documentation on [how to connect to your Mac mini via VNC](/bare-metal/apple-silicon/how-to/connect-to-mac-mini/#how-to-connect-via-vnc).

## Backup

A backup is a copy of your data, stored in another location. In case of any hardware or software failure, you can restore your data from the backup. It is recommended to make backups regularly. Each Dedibox server comes with 100 GB of free [Dedibackup](https://www.scaleway.com/en/dedibox/storage/) storage. You can upload your backups to this storage using the FTP protocol. A 750 GB Dedibackup is available as a further option.

## Hostname
A hostname is a name associated with a machine. On the Internet, hostnames are formed mostly of two parts, the local name of the computer, for example: `myserver` and the domain name, for example: `mywebsite.org`. The complete hostname of that machine would be `myserver.mywebsite.org`.

## IPMI

Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) provides a way to access a computer using a network connection. It is independent from the main computer and allows you to access a remote computer that is not responding or powered off. Another use case is the installation of a custom operating system by mounting an ISO file on a virtual optical device. The installation of the remote computer can be done over the network without need for physical access to the machine.

## Remote reboot

This feature allows you to reboot your Dedibox server from the Dedibox console if it is not responding via the network. You can also use this feature to reboot your server into rescue mode for maintenance actions.

</Concept>

<Concept>

## Rescue mode

Rescue mode is a small Linux distribution that is loaded during the system boot into the RAM of your Dedibox server. It allows you to gain access to your system and data if your server is not reachable on the Internet in normal mode. You can perform maintenance tasks on your system and fix broken configurations before rebooting your server back into normal mode.

## Secondary DNS

When you run your own DNS server (for example BIND) on your Dedibox, you can use the Secondary DNS server to provide redundancy for your DNS infrastructure. You can allow the transfer of your domains' primary DNS zone to the secondary DNS server to automatically update it whenever the zonefile on the primary server changes.

</Concept>

<Concept>

## Server log files

Your Dedibox server logs important events in log files located in the directory `/var/log` on Linux based operating systems. Reading these files is a crucial element in the analysis of any issue with your server. Windows provides a [series of tools](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/system-management-components/system-management-components-overview) to track the health state of your server.

## Statistics

The statistics page in the Dedibox console provides detailed bandwidth usage information of your server for the Internet interface, as well as for the RPN interface (if available on the server). The measurement of your bandwith consumption is done at the network switch of your server's rack.

## User password

The password associated with the user login. You can set the user password during the installation of your Dedibox server. For security reasons it is recommended to choose a temporary password for the installation and to change it once the server has been installed. The password must have at least 8 characters must only contain alphanumeric characters.
