Backup and Restore Options

Download PDF

Download full or partial backups of your cPanel account and restore when needed.

Regular backups protect your website, databases, and email from accidental deletion, failed updates, or security incidents.

Download a backup

Go to Files → Backup or Backup Wizard.
Choose Download a Full Account Backup for everything, or partial backups for home directory, databases, or email forwarders/filters.
Select a destination (home directory or remote FTP if configured).
Click Generate Backup and download the file when it is ready.

Restore from backup

Use Backup → Restore to upload a partial backup file for home directory, MySQL databases, or email filters. Full account restores typically require DanumHost support assistance.

Best practices

Schedule regular backups before major changes. Store copies off-server — on your computer or cloud storage — not only on the hosting account itself.
