How to Create Partial Backup from cPanel
Using cPanel you can store an individual portion of your site as well as a full website. By clicking the appropriate link under the heading of Partial Backups, you will be able to download and store the SQL database, email forwarders along with filters and the whole home directory as well. In a specific directory available in your computer the backup files will be saved after being downloaded to your computer.
The Backup file depends upon the specific portion of the site that you are planning to save on your computer.
Keep one thing in mind any file a user can not access cannot be backed up. This means that the file which the user does not own, but he can access is included in the backup along with the files owned by the user. But those files which a user cannot access and he does not own them either they are not included in the backup.
