What is Site backup?

A Site backup backs up the sites hosted on the server. You can perform a selective (selected sites) or comprehensive (all sites) backup.

The site user accounts, service configuration information and related files are backed up.

 

When you back up a site, the following file is created.

The naming convention of a backup file is as follows:

<server_hostname>_<site_name>_<backup_type>_<YYYY>_<Month>_<date>_<Hours>_Minutes>.tar.gz


Where:
<server_hostname>
is the name of the control panel server
<site_name>
is the name of the site being backed up
<backup_type>
indicates the type of backup (site)
<YYYY>_<Month>_<date>_<Hours>_Minutes>
is the time-stamp when the backup was taken.

For example, backing up a site mysite.com on the control panel server example.com on Jan 06, 2003 at 11.30 would result in the following backup file:

example.com_mysite.com_site_2003_January_06_11_30.tar.gz
