## Backing Up the Entire Server

To back up the server configuration settings and all user data you have on your hosting machine:

1. On your Home page, click Backup Manager (in the Server group).
2. Click Back Up.
3. Specify the following:
   - Backup file name prefix and description. You cannot specify an arbitrary file name, however, you can set the control panel to add a prefix to backup file names. Note that the control panel automatically adds the date and time of backup file creation (in Universal Time) to backup file names.
   - Splitting of the backup file. To create a multivolume backup, select the respective check box and specify volume size in megabytes.
   - Location where to store the backup file. Select the repository where you would like to store the backup file.
   - E-mail notification on backup completion. If you want to be notified of the backup completion, type your e-mail address.
   - What data to back up. You can back up only the server settings, or server settings and all user data.
4. Click Back Up. The backup process will start and the progress will be shown under the Current Back Up Tasks tab. You can use the Refresh button to update the information on the screen.
5. When backing up is finished, the backup file will be saved to the repository you selected.
