While it is always important to create a backup of your server’s data, some backup solutions can be costly and unwieldy. Creating a backup of a Storm server is neither of those things. Instead, it’s cost-efficient and easy!

In this tutorial, we will be reviewing how to restore a domain from cPanel backups. While it is a good and useful thing to have entire server backups enabled, sometimes we only need to restore a single domain. In these situations, cPanel backups make it easy for us to restore a single site from the Web Host Manager (WHM) interface, or from the command line.

Rsync is a powerful tool that facilitates the transfer and synchronization of data between both local and remote systems.

Most of us have had a time (or two) when we’ve accidentally deleted something or have had a disk crash that led to data loss. This can be a painful, harsh lesson in maintaining backups – don’t let it happen to you (or happen again!)
