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).

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.

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.
