How to Schedule Your Own Backups in JetBackup 5
You can create and manage your own automated backups in JetBackup (if enabled for your hosting plan).
Step 1 — Log in to DirectAdmin
Navigate to Advanced Features → JetBackup 5.
Step 2 — Go to “Job Backups”
Look for the option Schedules or User Backup Jobs.
Step 3 — Create a new backup schedule
Choose:
- What to back up — Files, Databases, Emails, Full account
- Frequency — Daily / Weekly / Monthly
- Retention — How many restore points to keep
Recommended settings
- Daily file + database backup
- Weekly full account backup
- Retention: 7–14 days
Step 4 — Save schedule
Your hosting panel will automatically generate backups based on your settings.
Note:
JetBackup uses external storage, so scheduled backups do not reduce your hosting disk quota.
