Brq Backup for cPanel accounts
Smart backups for your site and email
Every night your files, databases and email are backed up, encrypted before they leave the server, and kept on separate storage that nobody can delete, even if the server is compromised. When you need something back, you restore it yourself from cPanel in minutes.
- A backup every day, automatically
- Encrypted before it leaves the server
- Self-restore from cPanel
What makes Brq Backup different
Real protection for your data, not just a copy
Stores only what changed
Data is split into chunks and only new or changed chunks are uploaded, so nightly backups are faster and take far less space.
Automatic compression
Chunks are compressed before storage, so we can keep more restore points for longer.
Encrypted on the server
Data is encrypted with AES-256 and signed to detect tampering before it leaves the server. The storage only ever sees encrypted data.
Safe even if the server is hacked
In protected mode the server can only add new backups; it cannot delete or change earlier ones, so an attacker or ransomware cannot reach them.
Off the hosting server
Backups are kept on separate external storage, one repository per server, with automatic snapshots on the storage itself as an extra layer.
Regular integrity checks
The repository is checked regularly and the full data is verified periodically, so we know a backup can be restored before you need it.
Restore it yourself from cPanel
Pick a date, browse the backup and restore a file, folder, database or mailbox, to its place or to a separate folder.
Daily, weekly and monthly
A tiered retention policy keeps recent days, then weeks, then months, so you can go back to yesterday or several months ago.
Monitoring and alerts
Every run is monitored, one failing account never stops the others, and our team is alerted right away to any problem.
Brq Backup vs a copy on the same server
| Copy on the same server | Brq Backup | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it is kept | On the same disk as the site | Separate external storage |
| If the server fails | May be lost with the site | Intact and restorable |
| If the server is hacked | Can be deleted or encrypted | Cannot be deleted or changed (protected mode) |
| Encryption | Usually none | AES-256 before leaving the server |
| Restore points | One or two copies | Days, weeks and months |
| Restoring | Usually a support request | Yourself from cPanel, or full via our team |
How the nightly backup works
- Each account's settings and databases are exported with cPanel's official tool, and its files and email are read directly.
- Data is split and compared with earlier backups, so only what is new or changed is uploaded.
- Chunks are compressed and encrypted on the server, then sent over an encrypted SSH connection to the storage.
- Retention is applied, integrity checks are scheduled and the run report is logged, with an alert on any issue.
What you can restore yourself from cPanel
You find Brq Backup in cPanel in place of the default backup tool. It shows your own account's backups only; no customer can reach anyone else's data.
- A file or folder from your site, from any available date.
- A single database, with a copy of the current one saved before it is replaced.
- All email or a single mailbox.
- To the original place, or to a separate dated folder so you can review it first.
- A full account restore is handled by our team from WHM when needed.
How long backups are kept
| Type | Default | Takes you back |
|---|---|---|
| Daily | 7 backups | Any day in the last week |
| Weekly | 4 backups | The last four weeks |
| Monthly | 6 backups | Up to six months ago |
Because only changed chunks are stored, each extra restore point costs only the space of what changed.

Frequently asked questions
How often are backups taken?
Once a day, automatically, for every account on the server, with nothing for you to do.
What does a backup include?
Site files, databases, email and the cPanel account settings. Two-factor (2FA) settings are not included by cPanel's official export tool.
Can anyone else reach my backups?
No. The cPanel page shows only your account's backups and every restore runs as your account. The backups are encrypted and the key never appears in any screen or log.
What if the server is hacked or hit by ransomware?
In protected mode the server has no permission to delete or change earlier backups, so they stay intact and we restore from them, on top of automatic snapshots on the storage.
Does it work with DirectAdmin plans?
Brq Backup is built for cPanel servers. If your plan runs DirectAdmin, contact us about the backups available for it.
Will a restore delete my current files?
You choose: restore to the original place after confirming the overwrite, or to a separate dated folder you review before moving what you need.
