  • Backup of your data helps protect your site from accidental or deliberate deletion of modules (by you or someone who has access to the Control Panel), and transfer all the data to another account in the system (e.g. if you want to change site address).
  • Backup copy includes data of all content modules and all uploaded files. It doesn’t include modules settings and templates (including global blocks), as well as pages of "Page Editor" module, settings of "E-mail Forms" module, statistic data of "Statistics" module, users’ personal messages.
  • You can create backup copies not more often than once per seven days.
  • After you have created a backup copy its size will be added to the amount of the occupied disk space, so if your site occupies more than 50% your disk quota will be exceeded and you won’t be able to update your site. That’s why we recommend that you download a created backup copy to your computer and remove it from the server.
  • If you are an experienced user and follow elementary security requirements (don’t give you password to anyone, log in to the Control Panel from your own computer only, get e-mail by means of POP3 protocol etc.), it is not necessary to create a backup copy.

To restore data from the backup copy you must contact Technical Support via your Control Panel.

You can create backup copies from 00 a.m. to 09 a.m. only (server time).

If you remove a backup copy via Control Panel the disk space is recounted immediately.

Attention! To restore data from the backup copy you must have active payment for disk space expansion for the period of 3 months or more

Sunny, I don't know about this so good, but I can see this screen, but I didn't pay for disk space

Is that normal? Or maybe latet it will ask to pay or what...

And one more question, what to do if I want to restore a backab which is more than 15 Mb? I can't upload so big file to site.

And if I want to restore because of the bugs on my site, can I do it for free?

Waiting for answers, thanks smile

spokerakos, to restore a website you must contact Technical Support and explain them that you really need it. Then they'll enable restoration feature for you.

jackass, I have updated the info in the first post. After the update no payment is needed. You now need to contact Tech.Support and explain why you need restoration.

Upload it to a file hosting service (that gives direct links) and inform Tech. Support.

jackass, what does the red cross say? (hover a cursor over it to see). I guess the message is too long. Try again.

I created a backup of a template. I downloaded it, now I want to upload to another site, how can I do that?

Upload it to File Manager -> '_tbkp' folder. Then go to Templates backup section and click 'Restore'.
