The JetBackup tool will automatically back up your MySQL databases once a day and will save 7-days of backups to restore. With automated and daily database snapshots of your website, you'll be able to easily access a MySQL backup should you need one to restore your database. Learn more about how to download and restore your website using JetBackup in this Help Article.
Important: It is not recommended to restore a JetBackup MySQL database using the cPanel Backup restore process. The restore process for both types of backups is not identical.
With cPanel Backups you have the option to manually download a full website backup or just download a MySQL backup, referred to as a partial backup. A full backup includes the MySQL database and all of your website's files and configuration. You can restore a MySQL backup in cPanel but not a full backup. Full and partial backups can be stored in the home directory, downloaded to your local drive, or transferred and stored elsewhere using FTP.
