   • To back up only websites with content, click Back Up Websites. Alternatively, use Websites & Domains > Backup Manager.

6. Specify the following:
   • What data to back up. You can back up only the settings, or the settings and all data. To learn what is included in backups, refer to the Backing Up and Restoration section.

   • Type.
     • To backup all the data, select Full.

       A full backup can include either configuration or configuration and content, depending on what you selected in Back up.

     • To back up only the changes made since the time of the previous backup, select Incremental.

       Incremental backups always include configuration with content, including databases. Database-related content is included in full, while web and mail related content is backed up incrementally.

       If no backups have been created yet, the first backup will be a full backup.

       For the difference between full and incremental backup, see Backing Up and Restoration.

   When backing up is finished, the backup file will be saved to the storage you selected.
