This demo assumes you’ve already logged in to cPanel:

2. Click the Backup link

3. You have the option of only backing up a portion of your account… But we want to generate a full backup, so click Full Backup

4. Select the Destination for the backup, then click Generate Backup

That’s it! We’ve just created a full backup to the home directory

6. To Download a copy of the backup to your computer, simply click it and Save it to your computer.

That’s all there is to it!

Restoring files is just as easy…

8. Click the Backup Wizard icon again, then click the Restore button

10. Choose what type of restore you want to do… in this case, let’s restore the Home Directory
