It is strongly recommended to regularly make backup of your hosting account. Backup is the process of making your data copies which may be used to restore the original in case of a data loss event.
You can create either partial or full backup. Full backup is more preferable as it makes a copy of your website’s files, directories, databases, and email configurations.

1. Click the ''''Download or Generate a Full Web Site Backup'''' button.
