cPanel’s backup tools let you save copies of your files, databases and email so you can recover from mistakes, hacks or hardware problems. Here’s how to use them.
A full backup captures everything — files, databases and email — as a single archive, ideal before a big change or migration. Partial backups let you save just the home directory, a database, or email forwarders individually.
Open the Backup or Backup Wizard tool, choose full or partial, and download the resulting file to your own computer or cloud storage. Keeping it off-server is what protects you if the server itself has a problem.
Take a backup before every significant change, and on a regular schedule otherwise. We run our own backups as a courtesy, but your own recent copy is the surest safety net.
Use cPanel’s backup tools before major changes and on a schedule, and keep copies off-server — your own recent backup is the surest safety net.
