Yes, you can download backups to your local computer from cPanel. If you created a full account backup from the Files > Backup option in cPanel, simply click on the Download a Full Account Backup button. If you have an older backup, it should be listed on the next page. Alternatively, you can download full account backups from your home directory by going to File Manager > /home/username, where username is your cPanel account username.
There's also a quick way to download Partial backups of your website's files and database. Simply go to Files > Backup and under Partial Backups click on ‘Download a Home Directory Backup’. This will begin a real time backup and download for your website's /public_html/ folder. The same process applies to download any of your databases individually by clicking on a database name under the 'Download a MySQL Database Backup' section.
Good to Know: Storing backups on your local computer provides a quick recovery option and an added layer of data protection.
