The Backups area provides a basic interface for downloading and storing
all or some of the website’s files, databases, forwarders and filters.
This tool may be useful for more experienced users who wish to expedite
the backup process.

Note: Newer users may prefer the Backup Wizard.

Types of Backups :

Full Backups : The full backup will include your home directory, databases, email forwarders, and filters.
When you back up your home directory, the backup includes:

• All of the files that you own.
• Files that you do not own but have access to.

Note: Files that you do not own and do not have access
to are not included in the backup — even if they are stored in your home
 directory.

Partial Backups :The Backups page also allows you to store individual pieces of your site. It is possible to download and store the entire /home directory, the SQL database(s), as well as email forwarders and filters by clicking the appropriate links under the Partial Backups headings. This method will download the backup file(s) to your computer, saving them to a specified directory.
