Backups is exclusively a paid service. Backups are an important part of web site administration. When you keep backup copies of your website’s files and configurations in a safe location, you can use them to restore your web site in the event something happens that prevents it from functioning correctly.
On all shared hosting servers we take daily, weekly and monthly (resources permitting) backups of all cPanel/Plesk accounts in full (meaning it includes website files, MySQL/MSSQL databases, emails, etc...) This however does not mean our backups are 1 day, 1 week and 1 month old respectively.
Backups older than 30 days will be overwritten with a newer backup, and it is the customer's responsibility to download a backup before it is overwritten if the customer wishes to keep that copy of their data. So at some point in the month all three backups will be just 1 day old (as the backup routine runs daily). For this reason we ask our clients not to rely on our backups for instances where they may need to restore their account to a previous state due to a website editing mistake or a Word press upgrade error or may be any of the other reason. Backups are not included as part of any service. It is the customer's sole responsibility to make backups and save them elsewhere off server. Availability of server backups is not guaranteed and we are not responsible for loss of customer data. Customers are advised to make backups of the information they store on our servers on a regular basis. Our control Panel provides tools that allow customers' to make data backups, download data, download backups, etc.

Your e-mail messages are located in the "mail" directory of your home directory, and are therefore backed up automatically.
However, we can only back up messages that are actually on our servers. This includes all new (unread) mail and all mail you can see in Webmail. It will not include old (previously read) incoming messages if you read mail using a program like Outlook on your own computer and you've configured that e-mail program to delete messages from the server when you read them.
So if you use your own mail program instead of webmail, and that program deletes messages from the server after they've been read, your computer will have the only copy of the old messages. You'd need to back up your own computer to make a backup of that old incoming mail and your sent mail.
If you want our backup system to store copies of your old incoming messages, too, you should make sure your mail program leaves messages on our servers after you read them. With an IMAP connection, this will happen automatically; with a POP connection, you may need to change a setting in your mail program.
