How to create a backup copy of the current state of the site?

This functionality creates a snapshot of the current state of the site and database.

To create a copy of the current state of the site, database or entire account, go to your control panel: [link to the control panel]

Next: [Hosting 2.0 -- Management] :

Go to the [BACKUP] tab and click on the [Backup the current state] button:

In the drop-down menu, specify the necessary parameters (a list of sites [1] and databases [2] for which you need to create a copy) and click on the [CONFIRM] [3] button:

The archive will be placed in the remote_backup_archive folder in the user's root directory. It can be accessed using FTP.

 

- The copy will be created in time from 5 minutes to 3 hours, depending on its volume.

- Once the process is complete, an email with a direct download link will be sent to your registration email address.

- To access a copy through this link, your IP address must be added to list allowed to connect to FTP.

- A copy is kept until 23:59 of the current day. When you create a new copy, the previous one will be automatically deleted, so only the latest version is kept.

- Current state archives created in this way cannot be restored through the control panel.
