Backups are your safety net — the single best reason not to worry about experimenting with your website.

Automatic backups are already running Your website is backed up on a regular schedule without any action needed from you. This guide covers how to create an extra one yourself, and what to do if you ever need to restore.

How automatic backups work

Your site's files and database are backed up on a set schedule (typically daily). Older backups are automatically cleaned up after a set retention period so storage doesn't grow indefinitely, while recent ones are always kept. You don't need to configure or monitor this — it's handled for you.

Creating a manual backup

Useful right before a big change, like a major content update or a plugin update you're slightly unsure about.

  • In CyberPanel, go to Backup → Create Backup (via the website management area for your domain).
  • Click Create Backup. This takes a few minutes depending on your site's size — feel free to navigate away and check back.
  • Once complete, it appears in your list of available backups.

    Downloading a backup

    For extra peace of mind, you can save a copy to your own computer or cloud storage.

  • From your list of backups, find the one you want.
  • Click Download.
  • Save the file somewhere safe — this can be a fairly large file, so make sure you have enough space.

    • Restoring a backup

    Restoring replaces your current site with the backed-up version Any changes made after that backup was taken will be lost. Before restoring, we strongly recommend contacting Kemet Group Consulting's support team — we can confirm the right backup to use and handle the restore with you, so nothing recent is accidentally lost.
  • From your list of backups, find the date you want to restore to.
  • Click Restore.
  • Confirm when prompted. The restore process may take several minutes.

    • When to restore vs. when to ask us first

    Most problems don't need a full restore A single deleted page can be recovered from the WordPress Trash (see Managing Pages) far more precisely than rolling back your whole site. Save a full restore for genuinely serious issues, and always double-check with support first if you're not 100% sure.
