Create a Backup

Configure backup functionality

In order to successfully backup websites the following settings must be configured:

1. A Backup role must be installed on a server
2. The website must be assigned a 'Backup' role
3. The hosting package must allow 'Backups', 'Allow manual backups' and 'Allow self restore backups'

Generate a Backup

1. Open Websites in the left side bar
2. Select the website you would like to backup
3. When the website dashboard loads select the Advanced drop down in the top navigation, then click Backups

4. Select Create backup

5. Enter a Note and click Backup now

TIP

If you do not see the Create backup button check the hosting package has 'Allow manual backups' enabled
