Our backup service is ran on every day, overwrites any of our previous backups made, and only one day of backups are kept. Your use of this service is at your sole risk. This service is provided to you as a courtesy. WHWebhost.com is not responsible for files and/or data residing on your account.

There is an excellent backup utility in your Cpanel control panel. Please use it frequently, as you are responsible for your own website, even if there should be a server problem. While we do not forsee any such events, this IS the internet and everything is not always under our control. There is nothing to worry about if you are diligent about using the backup utility that is provided for your convenience and peace of mind.

To back up your website files, log into your control panel and click the "Backup" link. There you may choose to download a compressed file of "Today's Home Backup", which contains the folders and files in your home directory. You can also download an .sql file of any or all of your databases in use. Do NOT try to open the backup files with a file compression utility (WinZip, ZipMagic, Stuffit, etc.). Just save them somewhere on your hard drive, in case you ever need to use them to restore lost or corrupted files.
