    • To back up a user account with sites, click Back Up My Account

      Alternatively, use Websites & Domains > Backup Manager.
  5. Click Back Up.

  6. Specify the following:

    • What data to back up. You can back up only the settings, or the
      settings and all data. To learn what is included in backups, refer

    • Location where to store the backup file. Select the storage where
      you would like to store the backup file.

    • Type.

      • To backup all the data, select Full.

        A full backup can include either configuration or configuration
        and content, depending on what you selected in Back up.

      • To back up only the changes made since the time of the previous
        backup, select Incremental.

        Incremental backups always include configuration with content,
        including databases. Database-related content is included in
        full, while web and mail related content is backed up
        incrementally.

        If no backups have been created yet, the first backup will be a
        full backup. For more details, refer to Incremental
        Backup

    • Splitting of the backup file. To create a multivolume backup,
      select the respective checkbox and specify volume size in
      megabytes. Multiple volumes are supported for backups stored in
      personal FTP storage.

    • Comments about this backup.

    • Exclude log files. Select this option if you want all log
      files (including the logs from the system directory) to be
      excluded from backup.
