Create a Home Directory Backup

To create a backup of your home directory:

  1. Log into cPanel.
  2. In the Files section, click on the Backup icon. 
  3. Under Partial Backups,> Download a Home Directory Backup, click the Home Directory button. 
  4. There will be no pop-up, but it will automatically be saved on your computer’s download folder. 

The backup file will be in a .tar.gz file, which can be opened with a Linux command line. The file can also be unzipped from a Windows-based machine with the appropriate software.
