With cPanel, you can set scheduled backups through WHM (hosting manager), which in turn will save all hosting accounts (except those excluded), MySQL database and / or configuration files, or full backups of account for each user who is logged in the root directory of the user in the format. tar.gz by the cPanel interface. What to do with a full backup when you really need to restore it or you want to move your site to another host?

To restore a full backup of files, simply drag the file (usually with the name or usuario.tar.gz cpmove-usuario.tar.gz) in / home (or / usr / home / web / home2, / home3, / root, / usr if applicable). Access to WHM cPanel (hosting manager) and click "Restore FullBackup / cpmove file" in the backup. Enter the username of the account you want to restore the field after the text "Enter the username for the account you want to restore. Finally, click the "Restore" button and wait for the process.

The administrator can connect via SSH as root and type the following command:
/ Scripts / restorepkg username
No need to create the account beforehand, because when you restore a full backup file, the account is automatically created and all your data and settings returned to their posts. It is not necessary to decompress the file before running this command.

If you want to enable the backup functionality of cPanel then you can do the same by going to the feature of WHM then go to the Manager and then click on an Edit. Now i suggest you to turn on some tools such as Backup Manager, Backup Wizard. Now the cPanel users will be able to create and restore backups through them.
