Control Panel Backup Process
From our cPanel, we go to the “Backup” tool in the “Files” category.
In this backup tool, you can take partial backups of your account, but we do not recommend this method. To create a full backup of your account, we click the “Download a Full Website Backup” option.
“Backup destination” determines the directory where your backup will be located after it is taken. If it stays as the home directory, your backup will appear in the files you see when you connect via FTP. If you specify an email address when you click Create Backup, you will receive an information email when the backup is complete. The backup processing time varies depending on the number of files and disk capacity. After clicking “Go Back”, you can see that the backup process has started.
From the “Downloadable Backups” section, you can download your backup to your computer. If you upload the downloaded backup to your hosting provider, they can easily restore your backup with the restore command. Your backup is also available in the FTP home directory; you can access your backup from this directory if you want to use it later.
Backup Upload & Restore Process
To perform this operation, you need SSH access. If you are receiving a standard hosting package or reseller service, SSH access is not granted to you; you just need to send your tar.gz backup taken through cPanel to your service provider. We proceed assuming you have a virtual or physical server with a cPanel control panel.
cd /home
/scripts/restorepkg cpmove-ozgurcif.tar.gzWhen the operation is complete, our backup will be loaded. If you want to overwrite an existing “ozgurcif” account with an old backup:
/scripts/restorepkg cpmove-ozgurcif.tar.gz –forceWe can also take a backup without logging in to cPanel:
/scripts/pkgacct ozgurcifTo delete an account via SSH:
/scripts/removeacct ozgurcifSummary
/scripts/pkgacct username = Takes a backup of our account
/scripts/restorepkg backup.tar.gz = Restores our account backup
/scripts/removeacct username = Deletes our account
