Download a copy of your hosted sites

You can download a complete copy of your Xagio hosting at any time: every site’s files, its database and its email, in one .tar.gz archive. It is yours to keep, restore or move to another host. The download is free and stays available whatever state your account is in.

  1. Open Hosting in the sidebar.
  2. Open Manage and choose Download your sites (“Files and databases as .tar.gz”).
  3. Click Download next to the hosting account.
  4. Keep the page open. Xagio packs your sites first (a few seconds to a few minutes), then the .tar.gz file downloads.

Click Cancel to stop a download in progress.

The archive has a folder for each website with all its files, plus a <domain>.sql file with its database. It opens on Windows, Mac and Linux.

  1. Upload the site’s folder to your new host.
  2. Create a new database there and import the site’s .sql file.

Moving to a HestiaCP host? Use the full HestiaCP backup link on the download page instead. Support can help with a move.

Sites suspended for non-payment are not deleted automatically, and you can still download them from this page. Download a copy if you might need it, or add Xags to bring the sites back online. See What happens to hosting when Xags run out.

Downloading is free.
