EdInJapan Posted May 7, 2005 Posted May 7, 2005 (edited) There were some great posts on backing up a site using cpanel which gave me alot of useful information. Thanks to all. One question I couldn't seem to find an answer to is as follows: If I download a "home backup", all mysql db backups, and all alias and filters, is this basically the same (content-wise) as the "full backup" (except for email)? Where I am going with this is I would like to be able to do some major experimentation on my site, and don't want to bug the very helpful tech support people to do a full backup restore everytime I need to "start over" again. I know I can do the restores for home backup, mysql db, and alias/filters myself--but will that really get me back to where I started? Ed Edited May 7, 2005 by EdInJapan Quote
TCH-Don Posted May 7, 2005 Posted May 7, 2005 Yes the home backup has all your files and email, and with the databases and filters and alias(forwards) you have all you need. I just did this to an account, terminated it, added it as a new account and restored eveything this way. Quote
