Copying LunarPages information as an FTP backup means a user select either the internal utility or the external software to do it. The built-in backup tool is effective, but provides user a minimal control. External software, e.g., Handy Backup, turn user to command.

LunarPages Backup with Built-in Software

Lunarpages provides an online backup service that can be accessed via the cPanel interface. It can copy files and folders, as well as call to Lunarpages database backup, by just one click on the “Backup” tool. The backup completes with no other action required or allowed.

In the case of a full website backup, users cannot select the storage and placement for their Lunarpages backup data. Backup tasks also cannot be scheduled, and the full backup cannot be changed manually to the incremental or differential type.

Performing Lunarpages Backup

To back up Lunarpages, users can apply the three options:

• For full website backup of LunarPages account, press the “Backup” section on the cPanel control zone. Then use the “Generate/Download the Full Backup” feature.

Note: Only Lunarpages support team can restore these full backups! Users has no access to such a full restoration actions.

• For backing up the home directory, press the “Home Directory” button. The user making it can restore this backup later.
• To command Lunarpages backup database, use the “Database” button. The user making the backup also can restore these MySQL backup files manually.

Using Handy Backup as an External Lunarpages Backup Tool

Unlike the internal Lunarpages backup software, strictly linked to the Lunarpages server, all Handy Backup tasks execute on the client side. To simplify FTP backup of website content, Handy Backup provides users with an automated “Hosting” options.

The featured MySQL backup provided by Handy Backup allows users to perform the copying or mirroring of any MySQL data (including entire database structures) to any place in the “hot” mode (without stopping the database engine).

Advantages of Handy Backup as the Lunarpages Online Backup Service

Some principal features of Handy Backup can make it a preferred backup solution over the built-in Lunarpages service. Let us describe some of these options:

• Performing on the client side, gaining user a full control over the backup;
• Keeping data in the native format, allowing using these data immediately;
• Selecting from full, incremental or differential backup;
• A lot of storage types, including online cloud storages such as Amazon S3;
• Fully automated, scheduled Web hosting backup tasks.

This list of features is highly incomplete; among the options deserving to be mentioned are such as running as Windows service, which provides a comfortable environment for casual users, and running other programs before or after the backup task.

A Word about the “Hosting” Feature

The “Hosting” option provides an FTP backup for some featured web hosting backup services, like Lunarpages, by applying all default FTP settings automatically. User do not need to select and enter many FTP parameters to connect with Lunarpages server using this option.

This feature does not designed to provide automated MySQL backup; use the “MySQL” feature instead, to gain a full control over the Lunarpages backup database information. You can always merge the “Hosting” and “MySQL” feature within one website backup task.
