backup of subdomain

June 4th, 2007, 5:52 pm

I have hosting account with top level domain(TLD) and addiional two sites on the subdomain. As these subdomain sites are growing. I have purchased new hosting account and TLD.
I want to transfer only subdomain sites. How can I do this through Cpanel. There is option of only generating whole site bacup which will be quite large.
Please, help me.

Hi there, When you create a subdomain in cPanel it creates a new folder within your public_html.

Whenever you perform a full backup in cPanel, it backs up your email, all public_html files and databases, so you would only need your 1 full tar.gz backup.

Give that file to your new host to restore and your done! =]
