It is often a good idea to store a backup of your website, either as protection against some kind of hack or corruption, or as a stable version of your site before making significant changes.

You can connect via FTP to download the site files and use phpMyAdmin to export a copy of your database.

Your Web Hosting Package makes regular, incremental backups of your site and database which are available for restoration upon request.  In addition, you can create backups yourself.

 If you would like to download a copy of your site from backup you should perform the following steps:

Step 1.
Login to your Rebel account and select Hosting Manager. 

Step 2.
Click the Control Panel button to the right of your Web Hosting package.

Step 3.
At the top right of your control panel, you'll see Backup Manager.

Click on Backup Manager to see a list of your backups.

Step 4.
Click the green arrow to the right of a backup to download a copy of that backup to your computer (you will be given the option to password protect that backup archive).

Your browser will download your backup to your default download location.

You can also click on the Creation Date of the backup to select only the elements you wish to backup locally.  This is also where you can restore your site and email to a previous date.

Alternatively, you can create an FTP account to download your site files to your computer.

Beneath your domain name on the Websites & Domains page, click on FTP Access.

Click the button to Add an FTP Account 

Your FTP settings will be:

Host Name: ftp.yourdomain.com
Username: yourFTPusername.yourdomain.com
Password: your FTP password for this user
Port: 21

If you download your site files by FTP, make sure you export a copy of your database, if needed. 

In your Plesk control panel, go to Databases, then click Export Dump. You'll be provided with a link to click to download your exported database.

Classic Hosting (Pathfinder, Adventurer, Globetrotter)

If you have a Classic Hosting Package and would like to backup your site:

Step 1.
Login to your Rebel account and select Hosting Manager. 

Step 2.
Click the Control Panel button to the right of your Classic Hosting package.

Step 3.
Create an FTP account if you have not already created one. To view the instructions for creating an FTP account, visit our article How do I create an FTP user? What are my FTP settings?

Download your site files from the public or rbl_wordpress folder. 

Step 4.
To download your database, first identify your MySQL username and password. By default, the username is db.yourdomainname.com.  

You can often find your current username and password in the HostingOS control panel by selecting Tools, and File Manager.

Click the root folder for your site, usually either public or rbl_wordpress.  If you have a WordPress site you can open the wp-config.php file by clicking the white page icon to the far right of the file.  

Your current database username and password (in place of the asterisks you see) will be listed between apostrophes in this file. Do not include the apostrophes when logging in.

Then select MySQL, and PHPmyAdmin.

Log into the database with your credentials.

Once you have logged into PHPmyAdmin, click the database name on the left, and select the Export tab.

check 'Save as file', and Go at the bottom right.
