Maine Hosting creates a backup of every account, every night to an offsite backup cluster. We save 90 days of backups, plus an additional monthly backup going back 12 months. With JetBackup you can select any file, directory, or your entire account to restore. You can download the files, or restore them directly to your account.
1st Step: You will first need to Login to your cPanel and click on the JetBackup Icon.
