I don't know how other host sites are, because I have only
had this one that I am using now, and I don't know if all host sites tell you
how to backup your site, but mine did, and here is what was told to me:
You
should always back up your site at least every 3 days, that way, if something does happen,
you are only 3 days behind, no matter if you are a big site, or small. think about it. if
the site were to be backup up every 2 weeks, that could be a lot of missing entries..

Here is what you need to do:
1: gain access to your cpanel, meaning get
your login info out and use it.
2: once you are into your cpanel, you want to
look for:
BACKUPS, go ahead and click that, and it takes you here:

/>
and then do it, by clicking on generate a full backup. it will tell
you all of this information:
Generate/Download a Full Backup
Backup
Destination:
Email Address:
Remote Server (FTP/SCP only):
Remote User
(FTP/SCP only):
Remote Password (FTP/SCP only):
Port (FTP/SCP only)
Remote
Dir (FTP/SCP only)
and it will be filled out by the software.. if you want to
make sure you have the right email address or change the email address to be notified when
it is done, now is your opportunity!!
3: then go to the bottom, start your
backup, and go back out of the cpanel, because you have now finished.
Hope you
liked my tut on a full backup..
