We’ve supercharged our infrastructure with enterprise-grade, automated backup protection for every account, at no extra cost. Sleep easy knowing your projects are forever safe.
Never Lose a Byte Again
UnderHost now delivers free incremental cPanel backups with 7-day retention, powered by Backuply Pro. Plus, unlock optional offshore, DMCA-free storage for ultimate resilience.
If you’ve ever accidentally deleted a critical file, faced a hack, or suffered database corruption, you know the sheer panic that follows. For developers, agencies, and businesses hosting with us, that fear ends today.
We’re proud to announce that Backuply Pro is now fully integrated across our entire server fleet. This isn’t just a simple backup tool—it’s a sophisticated, privacy-aware disaster recovery system. Every UnderHost customer now receives absolutely free incremental backups with 7 days of retention, directly within your cPanel. And for those who need an extra layer of geopolitical and legal security, we offer seamless offsite backups to our OFF-Site Backup servers.
This upgrade reflects our core mission: providing reliable, privacy-first infrastructure that empowers your growth without compromise. Let’s dive into what this means for you.
What is Backuply Pro? Beyond Basic Backups
Backuply is a powerful, server-level backup solution engineered for the modern web. Unlike simple scripts or limited cPanel backups, Backuply Pro offers:
- Incremental Backups: After the first full backup, only changes are saved. This is faster, consumes less storage, and allows for more frequent backups without straining server resources.
- Extended 7-Day Retention: We keep daily snapshots of your account for a full week, giving you a rolling window to recover from mistakes or malware.
- Granular Restoration: Restore an entire account, a single website, a database, or even just one email account with a few clicks.
- Offsite & Cloud Storage Options: While we provide free local backups, the real power is in pushing encrypted copies to remote, secure locations, including our offshore nodes.
“This is a game-changer for our resellers. They can now offer enterprise-grade backup security to their own clients without any additional cost or complexity, straight from WHM.”

How to Access & Use Your Free cPanel Backups
Your free backups are already running! Here’s how to access and manage them:
- Log in to cPanel: Access your control panel as usual.
- Locate the Backuply Icon: Look for the “Backuply” icon under the “Software” section.
- View Existing Backups: The dashboard will show a list of available restore points from the last 7 days.
Restoring Your Data: A Step-by-Step Guide
Need to roll back? The process is intuitive:
- Inside Backuply, click “Restore”.
- Choose the backup date you want to restore from.
- Select what you want to restore: Full Account, Domain, Database, or Files.
- Choose the restoration location (original or a new directory).
- Click “Restore” and confirm. Backuply will handle the rest.
Restores typically take a few minutes, depending on the size. You’ll receive a notification upon completion.
Level Up: Configuring Offsite, DMCA-Free Backups
While local backups protect against accidental deletion, offsite backups are your shield against server hardware failure, datacenter outages, or even legal takedown requests. This is where our backup infrastructure truly shines.
We recommend our Cold Storage Backup or Business Backup plans for mission-critical data. Here’s how to set up offsite storage with Backuply:
- Purchase an Off-site Backup Plan: Add Cold Storage or Business Backup from your @CustomerPanel.
- Get Your Credentials: You’ll receive SFTP login details (hostname, username, password) for your dedicated offshore backup storage.
- Configure in Backuply: In your cPanel’s Backuply interface, go to “Settings” or “Destinations”.
- Add New Destination:
- Choose “SFTP” as the destination type.
- Enter the provided SFTP hostname, username, and password.
- Specify a remote directory (e.g.,
/backups/
). - Enable “Encryption” for an added layer of privacy (highly recommended).
- Create a Backup Schedule: Go to the “Backup” tab and create a new schedule. Choose your new “Off-Site SFTP” as the destination and set your desired frequency (e.g., Daily at 2 AM).
Your data will now be automatically encrypted and transmitted to our secure, offshore facilities, far from the reach of mainstream jurisdiction.
Pro Tip: Combine strategies! Use the free local backups for quick, daily restores and an off-site SFTP schedule for a weekly full backup. This gives you both speed and ultimate security.
