Website Backup Services Singapore
Website backup services Singapore businesses can restore from cover more than the website. A cPanel backup copies the whole hosting account — site files, databases, every mailbox and the DNS — and cPanel writes it to the account’s own home directory unless someone points it elsewhere. When the server dies or the host suspends the account, that archive goes with it. Rezolva moves it off the server and proves it opens.

The archive was in the account’s own home directory. When the server went, so did the only copy.

cPanel Full Backup — more than the website: what is inside the .tar.gz
A cPanel full backup is one compressed tarball of the account. cPanel’s own documentation lists what goes in it. Open each folder: what it holds, and whether you can put it back yourself — the part most website backup services Singapore hosts sell never show you.
File names and sizes are an example account. Folder contents: cPanel & WHM documentation, “Backup Tarball Contents” and “Backup for cPanel”, read 24 Sep 2026.
homedir · public_html“You cannot automatically restore a full backup file in cPanel. This function is only available in WHM.”
A full archive on your laptop is a copy you own, but putting it back as a whole account needs the host’s side of the server, or a new server set up for the restore. The partial backups — home directory, databases, forwarders, filters — are the ones you can restore yourself.
cPanel Backup — the file stays on the server unless someone moves it
When you click Generate Backup, cPanel asks where to put the file. The first option in that menu is the account’s own home directory. Pick one, then lose the server.
Home Directory is a convenience
It is where the Backups Available for Download list reads from, which is why people choose it. It is also inside the thing you are protecting.
SCP · off the boxFTP or SCP moves it at birth
The archive is written straight to another server. SCP is encrypted in transit; plain FTP is not.
A laptop copy is a copy
It survives the server. It does not survive a lost laptop, and it is only as recent as the last time someone remembered to click.
Website Database Backup — the hours between the copy and the crash
Every website database backup is a point in time. Whatever changed after it — orders, bookings, form entries, email — is not in it. Pick when the last copy left the server; the red stretch is what a Thursday 15:40 failure costs.
An illustration, not a measurement: the gap between each example copy and a failure at 15:40 on a Thursday.

A cPanel backup restore is rarely the whole account. Good website backup and recovery puts one folder from the archive back in the right place, without rolling everything else back with it.

Most web hosting backup that comes with a Singapore plan is the host’s own copy — which is why website backup services Singapore owners buy separately exist. It is worth knowing whose it is, where it sits and what happens to it on the day you need it most.
Ask your host three questions
- How often is my account backed up?
- How long is each copy kept?
- Is it guaranteed, and what does a restore cost?
The answers decide how much of this page you need. Keep the host’s web hosting backup either way — it is a second copy for free. It just should not be the only one.
Terms · notedWebsite Backup Singapore — on our hosting, or on the host you already have
Website backup services Singapore SMEs buy should not force a migration. Rezolva backs up cPanel accounts on its own hosting and on any other host that gives you cPanel.
Nightly restore points, plus the archive offsite
Sites on our web hosting Singapore plans already roll back to the previous night on request. The cPanel backup adds a full-account archive held away from the hosting server, and a whole-account restore is arranged by us, not left as a ticket for you to chase.
- Restore points every night
- Full archive off the server
- Whole-account restore arranged by us
Keep your host, keep a copy they cannot lock
Our cPanel backup service generates the archive through the account’s own cPanel and sends it off that server to our offsite storage, on a schedule set with you. Partial restores go straight back through your cPanel; a whole-account cPanel backup restore goes to your host’s WHM or to a new server set up for it.
- No migration needed
- Archive leaves the host’s server
- Partial restores through your cPanel

A website backup Singapore firms never restore is a hope with a file name. Each cPanel backup and restore drill takes one piece out of the archive, puts it somewhere harmless and checks it works.
One file from public_html
Restored to a separate folder and compared with the live copy.
One database into a spare database
Imported beside the live one, never over it, and its tables counted.
One mailbox folder
Opened and read, so we know the mail in the archive is mail and not an empty folder.
A line in the log
Date, archive, what was restored, what it proved. The next drill picks a different file.
cPanel Backup Service — three steps to the first tested archive
Every website backup services Singapore client starts the same way. Nothing on your website changes; what changes is where the copy lives and whether anyone has proved it.

Website Backup Services Singapore — frequently asked questions
A cPanel full backup is wider than a website backup. It copies the whole hosting account: the site files in public_html, every MySQL database, the mail for every domain on the account, the DNS zones, the SSL certificates and the cron jobs. Website backup Singapore owners ask for usually means the site; the cPanel archive is what brings the email and the domain back with it. For website backup and recovery that matters: the site comes back with its mail and its domain.
Here is how to backup website from cPanel: open Files, then Backup (or the cPanel Backup Wizard), and click Download a Full Account Backup. Choose a Backup Destination, add an email address for the completion notice and click Generate Backup. With Home Directory as the destination the archive lands on the same server, so download it afterwards; a cPanel backup that never leaves the server does not survive the server.
After a full backup finishes, its file appears under Backups Available for Download on the same Backup page; click the file name. Partial backups of the home directory, each database, the email forwarders and the email filters download straight to your computer as .gz files.
A Home Directory backup includes the email for the domains on your account, because the mailboxes live under your home directory. Forwarders and account-level filters are separate downloads on the same page, so take those too or the restored mailboxes stop routing mail the way they used to.
Not from inside cPanel. cPanel’s own documentation says a full backup can only be restored automatically in WHM, which is the host’s side of the server. To restore cPanel backup parts yourself, use the partial backups: the home directory, a database, the forwarders and the filters. That is why we hold both kinds.
Wherever the Backup Destination says: the Home Directory on the same server, a remote FTP server, passive-mode FTP or SCP to a remote server. Home Directory is the first choice in the menu, and it is the one that disappears with the server.
Not from the cPanel Backup page: a cPanel backup to Google Drive is not one of its destinations. The page offers the home directory, FTP, passive FTP and SCP. Anything else is configured by the host in WHM for the whole server, which you do not control on shared hosting.
JetBackup is a tool many hosts run on their servers so you can restore from the host’s copies. It is still the host’s backup, on the host’s storage, reachable only while your account with them is active. A cPanel backup held outside that host is the copy you keep either way.
Your host’s web hosting backup counts as the host’s copy. It sits on infrastructure you do not control, follows the host’s terms on how often and how long, and you reach it only while your account with them is active. Keep it, and keep one copy the host cannot take away.
Yes. cPanel backup Singapore sites on other hosts works the same way: you keep your current host; we generate the full-account archive through cPanel itself and move it off that server to our offsite backup storage, then prove a restore from it. Sites on Rezolva web hosting also get nightly restore points.
Website backup is quoted per cPanel account once we have seen the account size and how often the site changes; there is no price published on this page. The first archive and the first test restore are part of the quote.
Tell us where your website backup lives today
Name the host, and the folder you would want back first — website backup and recovery starts with that one path. An engineer checks where the current backup sits, quotes the account, and runs the first restore drill so you see the archive open.
