FediHost automatically makes daily backups which can be restored in the case of user error.

A backup can be made every 7 days for users wanting to make their own backups or move services they are able to in the FediHost control panel for the service.

Run Export Process

Services > *Service Name* > Edit > Export

Find the service you would like to export a backup from in your list of services. Click the edit button, navigate to the export tab, and download a backup.

This backup takes a while as it must downloads all your media, config, cache and database files and compress them into a file for download.

Download Backup

Services > *Service Name* > Edit > Export

When your backup completes an email will be sent to the address associated with your administrator account. You will be able to download the backup from the same export tab.
