Take advantage of the latest JetBackup on your hosting, feature-rich backup & restore software you can access directly from cPanel control panel.

All of our web hosting customers can take advantage of JetBackup to help restore backups from different times. With options including full account restores and more specific directory, database restores. 

Please note that while we can usually restore up to 14 days in the past you must retain your own backups to ensure you have full backup availability. 

Full accounts restores will overwrite all existing account data including any emails received past that point. In most cases directory and database restores are a preferred option.
