We recommend you always keep at least one set of your latest back-ups. How often you'll want to generate and download a Full cPanel Backup is ultimately up to you and would depend on how often your site data changes. A full cPanel back-up will back-up everything stored on your account (website files, email, stats..ect). To generate a full back-up follow the following steps:
1. Login to your cPanel
2. Click on Back-Up Wizard under File Management
3. Click on back-up. 
4. Click on the "Full Back-Up" option. 
5. Enter your email address (optional) so you can be notified once your back-up is complete, as depending on the size of your cPanel account, the back-up process can take a few minutes. 
6. Once your back-up is complete, log back into your cPanel and navigate to your file manager. 
7. VERY IMPORTANT, download your back-up off of the server as back-up files are typically deleted from the server. You'll find your back-up file in your home directory ending in .tar.gz like the file below.
