Creating backup

[Tideas]

Hi, I can't find the backup button on cpanel. Can you guys tell me where it's at?

 

[lionheart8]

On the Cpanel main page, you have under "Files" - "Backups" as the first option! :lockd:

 

[Tideas]

mine don't have it
Edit:
I've looked and look, and I dont' see the backup option anywhere

 

[Reesey]

yeah i dont have no backup option there either. and need to make a backup

 

[alfren]

Yahh your right me too there's no back ups button....

Any way for you guys to get on the X3 theme?

I have no idea how I apparently got it; it popped up in another thread that X3 isn't in the theme chooser anymore, which seems to explain a lot of these kind of problems - X3 hsa the buttons and I never changed my theme. I'm on whatever X10 gave me, which apparently was X3.

http://yoursitehere:2082/frontend/x3/index.html

If that loads and it's actually X3, theres Backups and Backup Wizard under the Files header. Hope that helps...Doesn't change the fact that the buttons apparently missing on other themes though, but it'll get it going at least



Assuming all else does fail though, grab a good FTP client and FTP everything in public_html, and if you can get to phpmyadmin, have phpmyadmin do a backup for you (hit export on the main menu, its near the bottom).

that's my second option since i can't find the back ups button in my cpanel even if i change it to x3 theme or likewise the default theme of my cpanel is x3...

well i sill can't find it...

I think you might find its down, along with the HTTPd on add free(ciroc)!
Edit:
I also dont have it there anymore, used to ? ? ?

 

[alfren]

oh now what?? ^_^ where did the backups button go?? i guess i'll do the second option for my back up ^_^...

 

[Reesey]

what is the 2nd option? corey mate u told me how to make 1 the oder day. i forgot. can u tell me how i make one?

 

[DefecTalisman]

You could just ftp the whole of your html_public folder to your local machine.

 

[Reesey]

and u do this how?

 

[infernus]

u should find a ftclient or using ur internet explorer but it will take long time using ftp 2 download everything

 

[Reesey]

so a new question
whats the best way to make a backup?

 

[DefecTalisman]

Not to sure.

Maybe ask Corey if he would stick his flash drive in to the server and copy the folder across... :dunno:

 

[alfren]

yup i'm going to try that because that's my second option... i already know how to do it.... but actually the backup system in the cpanel is much easy i think.........
