Generating a backup
You can generate a backup at any time. This is useful
if you have just made some changes to the site and you
do not want to have to wait for the routine backup (usually
daily or weekly) before downloading the backup.
To generate a backup:
-
Click on the Backup button on
the home page.
-
Click on the Generate/Download a Full Backup
link.
-
Click on the location for the backup from the Backup
Destination drop-down list. The following
locations are available:
-
Home Directory - Saves the
backup in the public_html level
of your site.
-
Remote Ftp Server - Saves
the backup on a specified remote FTP server.
-
Remote Ftp Server (passive mode transfer)
- Saves the backup on a specified remote FTP
server that will only accept passive (PASV)
mode FTP transfer. Please refer to your hosting
administrator or the remote FTP server if you
have questions about passive mode transfer.
-
Enter your e-mail address in the Email
Address field. An e-mail will be sent to
this address when the backup has completed.
-
Enter the FTP address, user name, and password
in the Remote Server, Remote
User, and Remote Password
fields if you are saving the backup file at a remote
location.
-
Click on the Generate Backup button.
An e-mail will be sent to the specified address
when the backup has finished and can be downloaded.
