But please note that restored website will be same as it was on the date when you took backup. So for example if you have a website backup of your website that you took 3 days ago, and if you restore that backup then your website will be the same as it was 3 days ago after website restore.
Below are the steps that you need to follow to take full back of a website using cPanel:

Can I change my domain name that I have already registered?
Please note that a domain name once registered can’t be cancelled/deleted/changed as domain registration is a non refundable service by the Registry for which domain fees is directly paid to the Domain Registries and they don’t provide refunds for this.
We have clearly mentioned on our terms page. Please read our Refunds Policy on the terms page.
So once a domain is registered it is booked for the term you ordered it and it is not possible to delete or change it before that. A registered domain name can only be deleted by the registry when it expires.
So for example: If your domain was registered on 25/05/2015, & it was registered for 1 year & then it can only be deleted by the domain registry i.e. on 25/05/2016 in this example.
So if you want to change your domain you can register a new domain name.
