Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Where is the native cPanel Backup icon? We use JetBackup instead of cPanel's native backup function for our Web Hosting and Reseller Hosting nodes. JetBackup is more efficient and allows quick restoration of files, databases, and email accounts without requiring a ticket. JetBackup has closely collaborated with the cPanel team, leading cPanel to recommend JetBackup over its native solution. The full account backups inJetBackup contain the same structure as native cPanel backups, providing you with the best of both worlds – the same backup structure and easier access to restoration.

  2. Why is the Create Backup on Demand option not available? If your cPanel account has more than 100,000 inodes (files) and/or is larger than 20GB in size, the backup on demand option is not possible due to server limitations. You can use an FTP client to manually download all your files and PHPMyAdmin to export your database. Additionally, you can always download a full account backup.

  3. My data is not restoring? If you're using an application like WordPress for your website, you must restore both the files and database in the event an update has altered the database tables. Ensure you complete both tasks as highlighted above. Additionally, larger websites take longer to restore, so please keep checking the queue to make sure each task has completed successfully.

  4. Should I keep my own backups? Yes! NameHero provides nightly and weekly backups for each account, but you are still responsible for your data. While rare, there is always a chance of backup corruption, and there is never a substitute for keeping your own backups locally.

  5. How many days of retention do you backup? One nightly backup and one weekly backup. For example, if it's Tuesday, you'll have a backup taken late Monday night and a weekly backup taken some time around the weekend (Friday, Saturday, or Sunday). If you would like more than one daily backup, you can order Premium backups, which gives you the ability to store up to 30 days of backups. Open a ticket with our billing team to get this added to your account.

  6. Do VPS/Cloud Dedicated Servers come with complimentary backups? No. Our complimentary nightly and weekly backups only include our Web Hosting and Reseller Hosting packages. If you have a VPS/Cloud Dedicated server, you are responsible for your backups or you can order the Snapshot option.

  7. I forgot to pay my invoice, and my account was terminated. Do you have a backup? Accounts that fail to pay invoices in a timely manner are subject to termination per our Terms of Service. As a courtesy, our system retains terminated account backups for up to 7 days, but we cannot guarantee it. Additionally, a fee will be assessed to restore terminated account backups.
