A site made with Sitejet Builder lives in two places: in the builder, where you make it, and in your account, where the published version sits. Each has its own copies.
In the builder: the project
cPanel itself notes that Sitejet Website Builder keeps your site. The project is stored on Sitejet's side, not in your account — which is why you can take the published version down and publish it again later.
Inside the builder there is also a Backups area: while you work, the builder saves automatic versions, and you can save one of your own before a big change.
| Tip: before changing a lot, save a version in the builder. It is the quickest way back. |
In your account: the published version
When you publish, the site is copied into the domain's folder. Those files are included in our daily backups (JetBackup), taken in the early hours and kept for 30 days. With JetBackup you can put the folder back as it was on one of those days — see how to restore your data with JetBackup.
Your account also has a sitejet folder holding the link between each domain and its builder project. Do not delete it.
| Careful: JetBackup restores the published files, not the builder project. If you restore an older version of the folder and then publish again from the builder, the publish replaces everything with what is in the builder. |
The restore point
The first time you publish to a folder with files in it, cPanel offers to create a restore point: a compressed copy of the site that was there, kept in your account. That is what lets you go back to the old site with Restore Directory — see publishing without losing the site you had.
Which to use when
| You want to… | Use |
| Undo changes made in the builder | The builder's own versions. |
| Go back to the site you had before the builder | The restore point (Restore Directory). |
| Recover the published files from a given day | JetBackup. |
| Keep a copy of your own, off the server | Your own backup. |
