CPanel Full Backup

iKwak · (#1 (**permalink**))

In CPanel, I can click on Backup and make a full backup. I can also "Download a SQL Database Backup" and Download Alias/Filter Backup.

If I make a full backup and I were to transfer my webhost company next year, can I use the backup file, upload it to the new webhost cpanel and get everything that I have?
And everything meaning the same websites and media images in its appropriate location.
Thanks in advance.

If you do this...
Full Backups>Generate/Download a Full Backup

Then yes, that can be used to make a perfect copy of your website. All databases and file permissions are included. We have moved over 200 websites to our servers using this... All flawless.
