Some people often wonder, how do I make backups of my website(s). It is actually pretty easy, easier than you think it would be. We are going to walk you through how to generate and download a cPanel backup.
1. First, login to your cPanel account.
2. Go to the “Files” section of your cPanel.
3. Click the “Backups” option under this section.
4. Specify which kind of backup you want to generate and download, if you want the entire account pick the first option, “Download or Generate a full web site backup”, otherwise you can specify certain databases and files.
5. Pick the backup destination, usually “Home”, and specify the email you want to be notified when the backup is complete.
6. Once the backup has been generated, login to your cPanel or FTP account and download the backup in the home directory.
7. Repeat this process as needed (Recommended every day)
