This article assumes that you are running BIND on a Linux server, that you already have an understanding of what DNS is, the different types of DNS entries, and how DNS works. Please note: The incorrect editing of your zone file can take your site offline. All editing must be done on the authoritative nameservers for the given domain.

Backups Demystified
What is a Backup?
A data backup is a duplicate record of the information on a computer or server. It is typically stored in an external hard drive, cloud drive, or other off-site location. It is primarily used to restore the original information after a data loss event or other computer error.
While no substitute for your own offsite backups, cPanel backups are extremely useful for recovering data in certain situations.
