 Hey, I'm Chris Ringham, intern at Reclaim Hosting, and today I'll take you through an overview of backups. More specifically, we'll have an overview of the backup tools that you have in your C-Panel arsenal. So you'll know how to keep your own backups, and even retrieve backups that Reclaim automatically saves of your account. It's all doable in C-Panel. So starting at square one, what is a backup? It's basically a copy of something. There are plenty of reasons why you want to save data, like on your account or site. Maybe you're transferring your C-Panel account to a different service or transferring your domain elsewhere. But either way, we have three main tools in C-Panel to back things up. First is backup under files. Second, we have the installatron site backups. And thirdly, we have R1soft Reclaim backups. Right now we'll start with backup under the files section. So here's backup. These first two buttons here pretty much do the same thing. They will save a copy of your entire C-Panel account from the home directory. So this is useful if you're migrating to a different service that has C-Panel. You can simply download it by clicking one of these buttons. And down here you can download backups of specific parts of your C-Panel account, like databases and email. After downloading the backup, if you want to restore from the home directory or whichever file that you chose, you can drag and drop the file to the corresponding restore field and click upload. It will rebuild everything from scratch, so it will probably take a long time. Okay, everything's back to normal. Next on the list we have installatron backups, which we can use to backup our individual sites. So with installatron, you have a couple options. We can manually generate a backup. By clicking on the wrench, I just clicked on and then hitting backup here. Once you have at least one backup for one of your sites, you'll see this my backups field here. And it should categorize your backups by site. Backups aren't very useful unless you can restore them. So we restore by clicking this button over here. Say if your site got broken somehow. Oops, you could restore it to the original location. This is the option you would want. Restoring to a new location might be helpful if you wanted to do some manual cloning process for your site. It's important to note that restoring from a backup is going to overwrite any of the files or changes that you've done so far. So if you're uploading an old backup, it won't save any of the recent changes that you've made. Now it's all restored. We also have an automated option for keeping backups. And down here is where you'll see those options. You can store the automated backups on your web hosting account here, but that'll take up disk space after a long time. So a lot of people opt to download to like their Dropbox or Google Drive. You can just select one of these options and then when you save the changes, it'll prompt you and you can log in. And then the backups will save automatically, however frequently you set it to. If you do choose to save it to your disk space, then you'll probably notice that your backups will fill up with a lot of old backups and it'll take up a lot of disk space. So you can delete it from here as well. So that was an overview of Installatron's tool for backing up and restoring your individual sites. And the final tool we have is R1Soft. So if you don't regularly maintain backups, the chances are you'll realize that you need a backup before you've made one. R1Soft is Reclaim's way of giving users access to the automatic backups that Reclaim does every day for every user. You can see that you have access to the most recent couple of backups and over here you can browse specific files, databases, or download the whole package from the home directory. Whichever option you go through and end up choosing some files to backup, then it'll send you to this wizard where you can download. And then after doing that, you should be able to go back to backup and restore from the home directory or another database that you may have grabbed in there. All right, so that was a brief overview of the tools Cpanel provides you so that you can maintain your own backups of your Cpanel sites or even access some of the backups that we have here at Reclaim. If you ever have any questions about the backup process, then you can always send a support ticket to the staff at Reclaim hosting in your client area.
