Site Backup	See Restore my website using Site Backup

Go to your GoDaddy product page.
Under Web Hosting, next to the Linux Hosting account you want to use, click Manage.
In the account Dashboard, click cPanel Admin.
In the cPanel Home page, in the Files section, click Backup.
In the Restore a Home Directory Backup area, click Browse and then select the backup file (file name ends in tar.gz) on your local computer.
Click Upload. cPanel begins the restore, and when complete you'll see a (long) list of all the files that were restored.
