Backup
Backup
The Backup area allows you to download the backup file of your web site. If your computer crashes, or your personal backups
are destroyed, this allows you to recover your site in a convenient manner (you could also use FTP to download each file -
more control, but it would take longer).
Important: You should keep your own backup copy of your web site as well. Do not rely solely on the backup provided by your web host. Having multiple backups in different locations provides security against permanently losing information.
Note: This one file includes everything - from web pages to images to scripts to access logs. A large site will have a large backup file, and will take some time to download.
Note: How often a backup is created is decided by your web host. Contact your hosting administrator for more details.
To download your web site backup file:
Click on the Backup link in the Access Menu area.
Click on the Download Today's Backup link to download today's backup file.
Save the file to disk.
Note for Windows users: This file is in .tar.gz format (a GZIP archive file that contains a TAR archive file). This is a common archive format used on Unix machines, in the same way that .zip is a common Windows archive format. Most compression utilities should be able to uncompress a .tar.gz file.
