Back in early 2005 I started on my own online ventures with Web Smart Central. By 2009 I had many websites that I was looking after – and many were not just using WordPress. cPanel backups were the easiest type of website backup that was available, and for those that host via cPanel that is actually still the case. However there was no way I was going to log into every clients cPanel and download a full backup of the website files and all the databases. It just wasn’t humanly possible.
Backup Smart was born from this need to backup cPanel based websites and databases to a local machine rather than to a cloud provider – this way you already had the files on your local machine to restore easily if necessary.
The software specifically shines when you have more than one website that you want to backup on a schedule.
