In the Backup page, you can see the following sections:
1. Backup the station file, click here Home Directory button, it will automatically begin to download a zip file, the zip file is the public_html directory of all documents;
2. Back up the database, click on DATABASES following the name of the database will begin downloading the corresponding archive database, if you have multiple databases, it is necessary to download one by one click and all of its. When the station downloaded files and databases to complete a backup of the whole station. If you later have problems, you can use these backup files to restore a non-destructive.

Create a full backup (including your home directory, databases, logs, etc.)
All backup functions can be your space made all the files and configuration information in a compressed package. This feature is often used in accounts from one server to another server, you can not restore the full backup in cPanel interface. Required by the system administrator full backup to restore.
1. Click to generate full backup button Full Backup (Generate / Download a Full Backup)
2. Select the following settings:Backup Destination - Select the location of the backup will be stored, including:

When the station downloaded files and databases to complete a backup of the whole station. If you later have problems, you can use these backup files to restore a non-destructive. As for the backup frequency, generally once a week is appropriate. If your blog is updated more frequently, you can back up once a day, or once in every backup after the update. cPanel has greatly simplified the operation of the site back up, just log in cPanel background, a few mouse clicks, and then complete the corresponding backup file downloaded just fine. Backup is a good habit, I hope this can give you some help.

If you want to restore the site from the cPanel backup, and related databases, e-mail address. You need to have a "full" backup and restore the backup using the cPanel restore a full backup / cpmove file WHM. If you restore the "home" within the cPanel backup you will not get MySQL database, e-mail addresses, mailing lists, sub-domains and additional domains. If you want to restore is located on another server, you can also use the transfer function. Basically a full backup, transfer to the new backup server and perform recovery.
