Server backup and restore

Take full backups of cPanel and Plesk accounts with the ctapanel agent and send them to ctabox, S3-compatible storage, another of your servers or your own device. Schedules run daily, weekly or monthly and keep the last 1 to 90 backups. You restore to the same server or another with the same panel, confirmed with a WhatsApp code. A late backup raises an alert and lowers the health score.

03 / What it does5 points

What it does.

Backups rarely fail loudly. They just stop, and nobody notices until a restore is needed. On cPanel and Plesk servers with the agent, ctapanel packages each account with the panel’s own tool and sends it to ctabox, S3-compatible storage, another of your servers or your device. Schedules run daily, weekly or monthly and keep the last 1 to 90 backups. You restore a whole package to the same server or another with the same panel. Each hosting account also has its own backups tab.

  1. Schedules run daily, weekly or monthly, at the time and time zone you choose.

  2. Each schedule keeps the last 1 to 90 backups (7 by default) and can be paused, resumed, edited or deleted.

  3. A late backup costs 1.5 points of health score, so it doesn’t go unnoticed.

  4. Restores go to the same server or another with the same panel, confirmed with a WhatsApp code.

  5. Optional password encryption; lose the password and nobody can open the backup, not even ctapanel.

Servers without a control panel have no account, reseller or mailbox management, because those come from the panel itself. Firewall, DNS, services and the terminal work over SSH. See the full table
