The Backup area allows you to download the daily, weekly, or monthly backup
file of your entire web site, or a particular MySQL, alias, or filter backup
file. If your computer crashes, or your personal backups are destroyed, these
files allow you to recover your site in a convenient manner (you could also
use FTP to download each file, but it would take much longer as the files are
not compressed).
How often a
backup is created is decided by your web host. Contact your hosting
administrator for more details.
Important: You should keep your own backup copy of your web site as
well. Do not rely solely on the backup provided by your web host. Having
multiple backups in different locations provides security against permanently
losing information.
Note: A complete web site backup file includes everything - from web
pages to images to scripts to access logs. A large site will have a large
backup file, and will take some time to download.
