How do I create a site backup?

Posted by Daniel on April 21, 2006

From the dashboard, choose a domain. Click the Advanced tab and click the backups link. Click create a new backup.

Note: The backup file takes the form

[backup]-[Month]-[Day]-[Year]-[Backup Number].

If you created several backups on the same day, they would look like:

backup-May-15.2003-1.tar.gz
backup-May-15.2003-2.tar.gz
backup-May-15.2003-3.tar.gz

This feature prevents you from accidentally overwriting a backup file.
