Can I also create a backup of my web space myself?
You have the option, in the hosting.fr client interface, to set an individual restore point for a web space, in addition to automated backups. This can be useful, for example, if you want to experiment with a new CMS or plugins. We show you how to create an individual backup below.
A backup always includes the entire web space and cannot be applied to individual domains within the web space. If you manage multiple domains in a web space, keep in mind that restoring a backup will reset the data of all domains in this web space.
Attention: If you use a CMS such as Joomla or Wordpress, a backup of your databases is always necessary in such cases. A simple web space restoration is not enough to return to the original state.
To learn how to manage your database backups, please refer to the corresponding Helpdesk articles.
- Select “Products” in the menu on the left.
- In the “Products” menu, select “Web Hosting”.
- Under the web space, select “Show details”.
- Go to the “Backups” section and click on “Create a backup”.
- In the “Backups (manually)” section, click on “Overwrite backup” to set a manual restore point. The last manual backup will be overwritten. The backups automatically created by the system will remain intact.
Even if you have not yet created a manual backup, please choose “Overwrite backup” at this stage.
- Give a name to the restore point and confirm the creation of the backup by clicking the Save button.
