From cPanel you can keep your own backups and restore parts of your hosting. You log in with Login to Panel (see cPanel: Logging in).

Downloading a backup

Go to Files → Backup:

• Full Backup: your whole account (files, databases, email, settings) in one file.
• Partial Backups: separately your files folder (Home Directory), each database (Databases), forwarders (Email Forwarders) and email filters (Email Filters).

Download the files and keep them on your computer or other storage.

Restoring

• In the same place (Restore), you upload a partial backup: files, a database or email settings.
• You can do the same step by step with the Backup Wizard.
• A Full Backup can't be restored from cPanel. Open a support ticket and we'll do it for you.

Tip: take a backup before big changes, such as WordPress updates or a theme change.
