Overview

Site Backup and Restore helps protect account files, databases, email accounts, email forwarders, and filters from loss. Restoring files is quick, simple, and easy. Backups are created automatically daily, weekly, and monthly. Users can download a copy of their entire site for safekeeping whenever they want for peace of mind.

The free version backs up the data, but users cannot restore databases. The Pro tools give users the power to restore any file(s)/database(s) necessary. It grants them the ability to restore either all databases or a specific database. This extends to files, where customers can restore individual files or folders. This is helpful if only one of their sites was affected by something, and they don't want to restore unaffected content.

How to access and manage your Site Backup Pro

Accessing Site Backup Pro

To backup or restore your website files, you can use the Site Backup Pro tool, located within the File Management category of your cPanel.

1. Log in to your Bluehost control panel.
2. In the Files section, open the Site Backup Pro tool.
   

Managing Site Backup Pro

Choose if you would like to Browse, Download, or Restore the files in the backup.

• Downloading a backup - there will be a prompt to choose a date. Use the drop-down menu to select the appropriate date of the backup you wish to use. Next, choose the type of compressed file you would like to download. This could be a .tar or .zip file, then click download now. 

  Note: If you are unsure which format to download, choose .zip as all modern Operating Systems can open a .zip file.

• Browsing the files - there is a drop-down menu in the top right-hand corner that allows you to select the backup date.

  Note: This feature is only available when Site Backup Pro is purchased.

• Restoring files - a pop-up menu will ask you to choose which backup date to restore from.

  Note: This is the same process for the Home Directory option in Site Backup Pro.
