Benefits of Backup Manager

Keeping your website up and running requires some basic maintenance. One of the best things you can do for your website is to take consistent, regular backups. If something goes wrong, having a secure backup means that some of the biggest problems can be fixed in just a few clicks! You won’t have to spend a week recovering from a malicious attack or trying to piece together lost product orders if you have reliable backups to help you out. 

InMotion Hosting’s automated Backup Manager integrates seamlessly with  our Shared Business, WordPress, and fast VPS hosting hosting plans. Once set up, the Backup Manager will make a comprehensive backup of your cPanel account every few days. Restoration is simple and built in to the Backup Manager.

The Backup Manager stores its backups on external servers. That way, if something happens to your account or server, the data is stored somewhere unaffected by the issue! By default, the Backup Manager can backup cPanel accounts up to 10 GB in size. If you plan to have numerous high quality images on your site, or expect to manage multiple sites on one account, you may run out of space.

If you have, or plan to have, a larger account, you can purchase additional backup storage space up to 2TB in 10GB increments until you reach 50GB, then by 50GB increments. 

Note: Per our updated Terms of Service regarding backups and the Backup Manager Product as of May 2019:
While InMotion Hosting maintains the previously stated backups for clients choosing to subscribe to Backup Manager, InMotion Hosting assumes no liability as to the availability or completeness of client data backups. Each client is expected and encouraged to maintain backup copies of their own data.

Purchase Backup Manager

The steps below will guide you through the process of purchasing Backup Manager from the AMP Marketplace.

When you purchase additional backup storage space, the total charge will include a prorated amount for each month until your next web hosting subscription’s renewal date.
