How to generate/download a full backup

A full backup is a backup of all of your files, e-mail, databases, etc. To run a full backup, you can not download the full backup right away. The backup takes time to perform and the server will send you an email once the backup is ready to download. Below are steps to requesting the backup to be performed.

Shared and Reseller: You may only create cPanel backups of 10 GB and/or 150,000 inodes or less. If your backup is larger than 10GB and/or consists of more than 150,000 inodes, you must contact HostGator support for help to bypass the limit.
