Third-party backup services

Customers with critical business information or critical data are STRONGLY encouraged to seek a 3rd party backup service such as CodeGuard to protect against unforeseen circumstances. Such services provide more fine-grained control over backup and restore operations, allowing them to tailor the process to suit their specific requirements. These services will also allow customers to backup cPanel accounts over the backup limits imposed by HostGator.

A full cPanel backup makes a copy of all of your files, email, databases, etc. Once initiated, you must allow the backup time to perform. The server can send you an email to an address you specify once the backup is ready to download. The steps for generating, downloading, and restoring a full backup are explained in detail below.

Note: Shared, Cloud Sites, and Reseller plans may only create cPanel backups up to 10 GB with 150,000 inodes or less. If your backup is larger than 10GB or has more than 150,000 inodes, you must contact HostGator support via phone or Live Chat for help to bypass the limit.
