A Site export backs up the following data.
Since the site configuration information is also exported, you have the functional independence to migrate your site between the control panel servers and successfully import it whenever needed.
Note: To restore an export onto a new server, you must contact your service provider and provide him with the necessary site export details to restore the site.
Your service provider can also export your site but cannot export the site and user data separately.
When you export a site, the following archives are created.
The naming convention of an exported file is as follows:
<server_hostname>_<site_name>_<export_type>_<YYYY>_<Month>_<date>_<Hours>_Minutes>.tar.gz
Where:
<server_hostname>
is the name of the control panel server on which your site is hosted
<site_name>
is the name of the site being exported
<export_type>
indicates the type of export (site)
<YYYY>_<Month>_<date>_<Hours>_Minutes>
is the time-stamp when the data is exported.
For example, exporting a site mysite.com on the server example.com on Jan 06, 2003 at 11.30 creates the following file:example.com_mysite.com_site_2003_January_06_11_30.tar.gz
The following information is exported as metadata in the form of an XML file. The metadata comprises information about the exported data.
The following files and directories are not exported.
Note: All the path names are relative to the site's base directory, /home/virtual/
<site-id>/fst/
