How Jiinubi Backups Work

Backups are your safety net. At Jiinubi, we provide automated and reliable backups so that you can restore your website, files, and databases quickly in case of accidental deletion, hacks, or server issues.

1. What is Backed Up?

Jiinubi ensures that the following components are included in our backups:

• Website Files: All HTML, PHP, CSS, JavaScript, images, and other static assets.
• Databases: MySQL or PostgreSQL databases containing your content, posts, user accounts, and settings.
• Email Accounts: Your inbox, sent items, and folders on Jiinubi-hosted email accounts.
• cPanel Settings: Configurations for domains, subdomains, email accounts, cron jobs, and more.

2. How Often Backups Are Taken

Jiinubi performs backups on a regular schedule:

• Daily Backups: Includes your website files and databases. Retained for 7 days.
• Weekly Backups: A more complete snapshot of your account, retained for 4 weeks.
• Monthly Backups: Long-term backups stored for 12 months, ideal for disaster recovery.

3. Backup Storage & Security

All backups are stored on secure, redundant servers to ensure data integrity:

• Redundancy: Multiple copies are kept across different physical locations.
• Encryption: Backups are encrypted at rest to protect your sensitive information.
• Access Control: Only authorized Jiinubi systems and personnel can access the backup files.

4. How to Restore from a Backup

You can restore your website, database, or files directly from your Jiinubi cPanel or by contacting support:

• Full Website Restore: Restore your entire account to a previous state, including files, databases, and emails.
• Partial Restore: Restore only specific files, folders, or databases if needed.
• Restore Points: Choose from daily, weekly, or monthly snapshots depending on when you want to revert your site.

5. Best Practices for Backups

• Download Local Copies: Keep an offline copy of your website files and database for extra safety.
• Test Restores: Occasionally test backup restores to ensure files are not corrupted.
• Use Version Control: For dynamic websites or code-heavy apps, use Git alongside backups for safer deployments.
• Schedule Your Own Backups: If you make frequent changes, consider creating manual backups in addition to automated ones.

6. Common Questions

• Q: How long does it take to restore a backup?
  A: Small restores take a few minutes, full account restores may take 1–2 hours depending on size.
• Q: Can I restore my site to a different server?
  A: Yes! You can download your backup and upload it to another Jiinubi Cloud server or compatible hosting provider.
• Q: Are backups incremental?
  A: Yes. Daily backups are incremental to save space, while weekly/monthly backups are full snapshots.

By understanding how Jiinubi backups work, you can confidently make changes to your website knowing you have a safety net in place. Your data is protected, recoverable, and secure at all times.
