Install the agent

The agent is one PHP file. It runs on your own hosting, packs up your site, and uploads the archives to SherDore’s storage. If you can upload a file to your site, you can install it.

  1. Open Backup and go to Websites.
  2. Add the site with a name and its domain.

You can add as many sites as your plan allows.

Open the site and choose Download backup agent. The file is made for that specific site, so don’t reuse one site’s agent on another.

Upload the file to your site’s document root, the folder your website’s home page lives in, using your host’s file manager or FTP.

Visit the agent file’s address in your browser and choose Run backup. See Run a backup and download it.

Delete the file from your site after the backup finishes and nothing is left running. Download a fresh copy from your dashboard whenever you want to back up again.
