Hi,

Cpanel provide various options to take backup of a domain :

You can find backup option in CPanel > Backups.

1. Newer users may prefer the Backup Wizard.
2. Create a Full Backup.

1. Click the Download or Generate a Full Web Site Backup button.
2. Select Home Directory from the Backup Destination heading.
3. Enter your email address.
4. Click the Generate Backup button. You will receive an email once the backup is complete.
* The date the backup was created appears in the filename (which begins with backup-MM-DD-YYYY). The file will be stored with file extension .tar.gz.

3. Partial Backups.

The Backups allows you to store individual pieces of your site. It is possible to download and store the entire /home directory, the SQL database(s), as well as email forwarders and filters by clicking the appropriate links under the Partial Backups headings. This method will download the backup file(s) to your computer, saving them to a specified directory.
