Backing up your site is THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU CAN DO. While none of our clients have EVER lost any of their data due to server malfunction (knock on wood) bad things happen everyday, so it’s best to be prepared for the worst. We recommend that you backup your site and databases at least once a month and keep a copy in a safe place on your hard drive or on a CD. If something were to happen to your site, all your files can be restored with your backup.

To backup your site, log into your cPanel and click on the Backup icon. Click on ‘Download a home directory Backup’ and your back up will automatically start downloading onto your computer. Additionally, you can download a Full Backup which will be stored in the home directory on the server.
