<h2>Manual Backup</h2> <p>You can create individual account backups from with cPanel by going to Backups, then Generate/Download a Full Backup. This creates a cPanel backup package, usually labeled something like:</p> <p><em>backup-Userame-2007-02-10_11-50.tar.gz</em></p> <p>This file contains all your public_html files, all the MySQL databases for that account, all the email addresses/forwarders and any email not already downloaded, and the cPanel config files to tell the server how to put it all back together.<br /> <br /> However, this is a manual process, suitable for the occasional backup for a site that doesn't change regularly.<br /> <br /> For an unmanaged VPS, you will want to set up the server to automatically create regular account backups.</p> <h2 id="hn_WHM_Configuration">WHM Configuration</h2> <p>First, decide where to backup the files.
