If you do a reseller backup, and it includes the admin user, does that backup include all of the domains under the reseller and/or all of the resellers under the admin?

Thanks!

A reseller backup of admin looks only at the admin reseller level. If you want to back up all the resellers you must select them separately.

My recollection is that it picks up the admin domains as well. You can always check :).

Never depend on a backup you haven't tested.

The only reason I was suspicious of that is it takes a longer than any of the users, yet it contains less information than any one of the users.

Thanks!

I've learned from sad experience over many years (I first started webhosting in 1995) that backing up a hosting server is never a place to save steps or time. Never.
