Backups (cPanel)
From WebHost Wiki
Image:Backup.gifThe backup option in cpanel allows you to do a complete backup of any/all information you have on the server you are hosted on.
This includes your /home directory and any subdirectories, your MYSQL database, all mail information and all Aliases or Filters that you may have configured.
To do a complete backup, just click on the Generate/Download a Full Backup link at the top of this page.
NOTE: You cannot normally restore these backups yourself, they can only be restored by your administrator.
Otherwise, you can just use one of the partial backup options such as:
- Download a home directory Backup - This option will download your entire home directory and all subdirectory's
- Download a MySQL Database Backup - To download a database backup, you must chose which database you wish to download.
- Download Aliases or Filters Backup - Again, you must chose which alias or filter you wish to download with this option, you cannot download all aliases or filters only unless you do a full backup.
If you have downloaded a partial backup, you can restore it yourself using one of the following options:
- Restore a Home Directory Backup
- Restore a MySQL Database
- Restore an Alias/Filter
