Website Backup Instructions

IMPORTANT:  Use the Partial Backups option - not the Full Website Backup Option 1

There are two critical backups you'll need to do. Firstly the website files and images, and secondly your database which stores your website data. Below are step by step instuctions to perform both operations.

 1.  Files and Images Backup (In the Partial Backups Section)

  • Under the Download a Home Directory Backup heading, Right Mouse click on the button Home Directory
  • Select Save link as
  • Select a folder on your computer to save the back up too.

2.  Database Backup (In the Partial Backups Section)

  • Under Download a MySQL Database Backup, Right Mouse Click on the hyperlink pointing to your database (if you have more than one database listed here you will need to complete this step for each)
  • Select Save link as
  • Select a folder on your computer to save the database file too.


You will be able to email any of these files to go FORWARD in the event your website needs to be restored in part or whole.

1. Using the Full Backup (Download or Generate a Full Website Backup) will create a large backup file, left on your server which could potentially use up your entire web hosting disk quota, causing your emails to bounce.
