How CPBackup works

Connect, schedule, and restore — designed to keep recovery straightforward.

1) Connect via token

Connect using your domain, cPanel/WHM username and an API token. No passwords stored — tokens can be revoked anytime.
Tip: Use a dedicated token so it’s easy to rotate later.

2) Set schedule & retention

Choose how often backups run and how many restore points to keep. Change retention anytime as your needs evolve.
Common setup: daily backups with 7–14 restore points.

3) Restore fast

Pull the backup straight onto your destination server via the secure wget restore URL, then restore using the usual cPanel methods.
Prefer simpler? Download to your PC from Backup Manager.

What happens under the hood

Native cPanel (cpmove) storage
Backups are stored in the official structure so restores can begin immediately.
Secure transfers
Backups transfer over secure channels wherever possible, with token-based access control.
Off-site separation
Backups live away from your primary host, reducing shared risk during outages.

Pricing

Keep pricing simple: £10/mo includes 10GB and £1/GB overage billed monthly.
