Account / Server Backups
-
What is the server-wide backup policy?
All servers are setup to take and store daily, weekly and monthly backup archives of all system config file and accounts. These are taken and stored on a separate hard drive in each server mounted only for the purpose of backups. This allows us to restore all configuration and all elements of accounts should the primary hard drive fail.
Having said this, all clients are always strongly advised to take their own regular backups from the cPanel and never rely on our backup process. It has never failed us but one can never be too careful when backups of important files are concerned.
We are able to restore accounts from these archives on request (eg if you delete important files by mistake). To request this please open a support ticket with your server name and account username and we'll carry out the restore.
