Important things to consider before you start your backup
1) Ensure to check the disk availability before you start the backup process. When you don't have enough disk space left, then the backup process will break in-between and also, your website will stop working. Assume you have used the disk space of around 1GB, then ensure that at least 55% of them is available for backup.
2) Verify the remaining amount of inode limit. If you don't have enough inode count, then also backup can break.
3) ANOTHER IMPORTANT POING TO CONSIDER WHEN TAKING A BACKUP IN CPANEL IS, do not take backup again & again without deleting your old backup. Once you take the backup, ensure to download to your local system. If you don't delete the old backups before taking the new backup, then your backup size will keep increasing, it will affect your disk quota and also website functionality. Make sure to always keep one copy of the backup in the server.
Note:
>> You must download and compress the backup file prior to restoration.
>> After you decompress the backup file, you can upload and restore individual portions of your website that the full backup file contains.
>>The backup process for an account near or over its quota may fail because the system cannot write necessary files, such as a database lock file.
