JetBackup is the most popular backup software for cPanel. This software has been widely used by various hosting providers, including Niagahoster.
Actually, cPanel itself already provides a built-in backup feature. However, this feature is not able to perform the automatic backup process and restore your data, so the technical support team needs assistance.
Therefore, JetBackup can be the main backup software choice in cPanel. Besides being able to back up automatically, JetBackup also has various advantages. Starting from multi-scheduling, self restores, incremental backups, account filters, and hybrid backups.
In addition, with JetBackup, you can freely back up all the contents of your cPanel account such as files, databases, emails, cron jobs, and DNS zones.
5 Advantages of JetBackup
Before entering the discussion on how to use JetBackup in cPanel, here we first describe some of the advantages of JetBackup:
1. Incremental Backups
Incremental backup is a feature that can maximize the backup process in cPanel. So, backups can run effectively without burdening your server.
If you do the first backup in file A, then there are changes that occur in file A. So, the file changes will be automatically backed up by JetBackup.
It's different with the cPanel backup feature. When you do the first backup, the next backup cPanel will back up all files from before the change occurred. As a result, your server will be full of the same backup files.
2. Multi-scheduling
This feature allows you to set up automatic backup schedules. Either hourly, daily, weekly or monthly. In addition, you can also set a different retention limit or time limit for each scheduled backup file.
3. Self Restores
Self restore is your freedom to be able to restore backup files, databases, emails, cron jobs, DNS Zones in cPanel with just one click. This feature also makes it easier for you to download each backup file without worrying about losing the current data.
4. Account Filters
You can create custom filters for each account with different parameters. These parameters can be disk usage, suspension, cPanel package, and others.
5. Hybrid Accounts
You can backup full database, home directory, cron jobs, email or DNS zones.
