    My website provider instructed me to move my back up to new server.
    How can i take backup alongwith subdomains?
    can i use backup via cpanel or via ftp software?
    please advice.

    Just use cPanel to generate a full backup.

    Basically, it will create a full/home directory backup of your site and once you login to FTP for your domain, you will see the full tar.gz backup sitting in your home directory. Download it through FTP and you should be good to go.

    Hey,

    If this is your webhosting company that is moving you to a new server, then they should be able to do it for you! If this is an old hosting company and your moving to a new one, then the new one should be able to do this for you!

    Shoot me an PM and i will help you out ;)

    Thanks,
    Freddy

    Hello,
    I think he is not on cPanel , but on some custom control panel. Also, this thread should be in Site & Server Administration.

    Yes, but from his earlier posts I gathered that he is with manas hosting, who use some panel force, which I have never heard of. You have to email them to add a database, or add a domain.

    Also, many people think cpanel is short for control panel , instead of being a control panel brand.

    It really depends on how big your site is. Usually it takes 2-3 minutes.

    It simply means that the backup is still in process, just wait patiently and it will then appear in your "home" directory in your FTP site.

    cPanel has a good backup system that will back everything up for you.
