The Backup Wizard interface allows you to back up all or part of your website, or restore your website from the most recent backup file. In this article, we look at how to create a full backup.
Note: A full backup creates an archive of all the files and configurations on your website. You can only use this to move your account to another server or to keep a local copy of your files.
