cPanel Backup

cPanel Backup is a simple tool built into cPanel that creates copies of your website files, databases, and emails. It’s like taking a snapshot of everything on your website so you can restore it quickly if something goes wrong.
CPanel Backup uses S3-compatible object storage to safely send these backup copies to affordable cloud storage services like DiskSpace so your backups are kept off your server in a secure, scalable place that costs very little and can hold huge amounts of data.
By storing backups in DiskSpace, the tool gives you peace of mind knowing your important files are protected even if your server crashes or gets hacked, while keeping costs low and making restores fast and easy.
