If you aren’t sure how to get this done, this handy guide by our Support Techs will get you on the right track.

How to enable database backups in WHMCS?

1. First, we have to log into our WHMCS account.
2. Then, we will select Database backups under Other in the Setup section as seen below:

   
3. Here, we will find two options, namely, Email and FTP. We can use these to receive a database backup. We can choose either one or even both based on how we prefer to receive our database backups, via Email or FTP server.

   If we choose Email, we have to enter the corresponding email address in the Daily Email Backup field.

   In case we opt for FTP server, we have to enter the FTP information here.

   
4. After that, we have to click Save Changes to save the changes and allow them to take effect.

Our Support Techs would like to point out that it is vital to enable daily database backups and set up automated backups in order to recover critical data in case of an unexpected issue.
