Backup Manager in WHM
If you manage multiple sites in WebHost Manager (WHM), there are a variety of tools available to help you optimize how backups are managed across multiple cPanel accounts.
cPanel Backups
cPanel remains one of the most popular web hosting control panels. Its standard backup features allow for basic account restoration, database restoration, and the creation of account-level backups.
WHM Backups
Manage backups in WHM and use cPanel backups to restore entire cPanel accounts quickly and easily.
Server Backups & Snapshots
While there are backup options available in WHM that backup everything on a particular account, our Server Snapshots feature, available on VPS and Dedicated Hosting plans, will help you create full copies of a server at an exact moment in time. If you find yourself in a crisis situation, server snapshots can instantly restore everything.
WordPress Backups & Total Upkeep
WordPress lets you add numerous features to your site simply by installing plugins. Backups are no exception. There are a variety of free and premium site-specific backup plugins that include everything from quick restoration to built-in remote file storage.
Other CMS Backups
Most popular CMS platforms will include built-in backup features and, usually, some form of restoration.
Cloud & Custom Server Backups
A custom server configuration will require backup solutions tailored to fit your needs.
Storing Your Backups
If you’re making and managing your own backups, you shouldn’t store them on your server. After all, if something happened to your server, then your backups would be inaccessible! Storing your backups with a storage solution like Amazon S3 or Google Drive is a great way to keep your backups accessible and safe.
Email Backups
Certain email clients have built-in backup features. These can be useful if you are trying to transfer an email archive from one server to another.

You may find yourself in a situation that requires an unusual method of problem solving.
