Can some one tell me , when one creates a full backup file using cpanel, and stored in home dir, when we use FTP to download it, does it contribute toward the bandwidth calculation?

Joshua

Even though I have never used CPanel, I think it does count the towards your bandwidth consumption ~

Everytime you download things via FTP, it tracks the number of bytes transferred to your machine ~

Yes. FTP counts against your bandwidth usage.

Can this count be omitted by the host ? I think hostdime doesnt count it

No idea how cpanels setups ~

If you the backup is saved under your main account (the one you login to update and make changes to your web page), it should count ~
