You can access your cPanel page from http://yourname.co.nz/cpanel Please replace yourname.co.nz with your own domain name. Backups allow you to download (to your computer) a zipped copy of either your entire site or database. From the first Overview screen, in the Files section click on Backups.
Under Download a Home Directory Backup, click the Home Directory button, or; Under Download a MySQL Database Backup, click the Database name.
In the popup that appears, choose the location you want to save the backup too on your computer, then click Save. Note: If your browser is set not to ask where to save downloads, the file will be downloaded to your default downloads folder. USING cPanel TO RESTORE YOUR WEBSITE OR DATABASEWhen you restore a home directory backup or database backup, this will overwrite any existing files/data currently on your hosting account or database. This guide assumes you already have a cPanel backup of your website/database to restore from. To restore your website or database, first you need to login to your cPanel. In the Files section click on Backups. Under Restore a Home Directory Backup click the Browse button; or To restore a database, click the Browse button under Restore a MySQL Database.
In the popup window that appears, browse to the location of your backup file on your computer, select the backup file and click Open. Click Upload and you will see the progress of your files being restored.
