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.
