Daily backups are now available in the Control Panel
We usually relate daily backups to an administrative job that is done somewhere in the background and is delivered to us only when our sites are stricken by a content loss disaster.
Thanks to the new daily backup functionality available in the Web Hosting Control Panel, the option to restore your sites is now brought right to your fingertips.
Starting from today, you will have immediate access to the website backups made by our administrators on a daily basis.
Here is how you can restore a backup for your files/folders:

Here is how to access all the available backups associated with your account:

That’s it in a nutshell. You will now have full control over your content in critical moments and will be able to restore it with a click from within the Control Panel instead of waiting for our administrators to respond.
