1. How can I create my own backup of my web site?

This option in your control panel allows you to compress your directories and/or files located in your account. This is an excellent way to backup your own files. It will serve as double protection should anything ever go wrong with our backups. We cannot guarantee the quality of our backups as these are geared more toward restoring an entire server. We HIGHLY recommend that you make it common practice to backup your own web pages. In the event that we are unable to recover your pages, you will be able to restore your own pages. In control panel go to "Backup " icon and save the backup file to your hard drive for safe keeping.

2. How do I restore my web site from a backup I made this way?

If you ever need to restore the "Backups" from your hard disk file, just return to this part of your Control Panel and select "Restore Backups".

3. Can I restore individual files from a server backup?

No. These kinds of backups are for entire accounts only. Individual files cannot be restored, only the entire account.
