What is the difference between a Complete Backup and a backup of web data, databases, and email? The difference between a backup containing all three types of partial backups and a complete backup is that the partial archive only contains your web data, databases, and email, and a way to restore them. A compte backup contains enough data to restore ALL of the settings on your account. The partial backup can only be used from within an existing SiteWorx account. A complete backup can be used from NodeWorx to re-create the entire SiteWorx account.
