a__kc Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 I just noticed a "backup" feature in my CPanel. This is a nice option for those who don't need automated backup (say via cron). One more reason to recommend TCH. Thumbs Up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Sales Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Thanks, yep this is a very helpful feature indeed. One more reason to tell the family, friends and neighbors that TotalChoice Hosting is the way to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head Guru Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Dont forget the in datacenter backups done weekly and the off site remote backups done every other day. If you need a restore its just a help desk ticket away. TCH really does have your back covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarqFlare Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 I'm paranoid though... That's why I run a DB backup of all my websites nightly, and have it go to a db folder under www. Regardless, TCH's backup option is always awesome. Any host that backs up regularly, and even makes that backup directly available to the customer, is the best.

animgirl Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 Hello, I didn't know there was a backup feature in the cpanel till I read so here! So I went and checked it out. Truthfully, I don't fully grasp how to use it. I want to backup everything on my site. So I went to "Generate/Download a Full Backup". I'm not sure at all of how to set it up to backup to my HD. Thanks so much -animgirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deverill Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 It's not too hard once you do it. Click on Backup, then Generate/Download a Full Backup When that screen comes up tell it the backup destination is the home directory, email address is where it will send the "I'm done" email, and the remote stuff is if you're backing up to an ftp server. When it finishes there will be a big file in your home directory that you can FTP to your home computer. The backup will be named: backup-12.26.2003_17-43-38_username for instance where the numbers are the date and time. By the way, backups are a VERY good idea for anyone reading this - you never know when you'll do something bone-headed and wipe everything out or there is a meteor that hits the data center and the best backups you can get are 1 month old. Don't get lazy like I do and let it slide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinW Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 Instructions for creating a backup of your site is also available on the TCH Help web site (click here) to view page. -kw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animgirl Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 Wow that's insanely simple. I just hadn't been grasping the part where it backs it up to FTP first, then I need to transfer it to my HD. I thought there was a way to go directly to my HD. Now I know, Thanks guys, -animgirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
