Once you have secured your backup, either locally or at another location, you can then request the re-image of your server. This will securely copy a backup to another Linux server. In the event that you need more space on your drive for the backup, you can also use the SCP option to save the backup to another server. On this page, you can generate a backup of your entire cPanel account in your home directory. Click on the Download a Full Account Backup button.


Click the Hosting tab towards the top of your screen.If backups are not enabled on your server, you can create a new cPanel backup from within your control panel: Any root level applications and files will have to be backed up and downloaded manually. Note: Full cPanel backups do not include any changes made at the root level.
JUST HOST CPANEL HOW TO
Please refer to our helpdesk article How to Manage VPS & Dedicated Hosting Backups with SFTP. Unless disabled or altered in some way, cPanel generated backups are automatically created daily and weekly, allowing you to download these full cPanel backups from your server using SFTP. The re-image request can take 24 hours to be addressed, and approximately 3 - 5 hours to be completed once the process has been started. This includes the deletion of all server content as well as configuration changes that have been made to the server since the purchase of the VPS or Dedicated account. The re-image process requires the current server to be deleted entirely and replaced with a new, clean CentOS 7 server.
JUST HOST CPANEL UPGRADE
This is due to VPS and Dedicated servers running cPanel not having the ability to upgrade from one major version of CentOS to the next. In order to qualify for the upgrade past cPanel 86, the server must first be re-imaged to a CentOS 7 server. Information about cPanel deprecation plan is available in our documentation. We encourage you to migrate to a server using CentOS 7 before November 30, 2020. At the time CentOS will no longer provide bug, security, or feature updates. On November 30, 2020, CentOS will stop supporting CentOS 6 on all systems, including your server. VPS and Dedicated customers still running CentOS 6 currently receive the following notice in their WHM panel: The cPanel team will still support CentOS 6 with cPanel 86 until March 31st, 2021. VPS and Dedicated customers with servers running the CentOS 6 operating system will not be able to upgrade cPanel past version 86.
