I did a full backup of my website with the backup in cpanel. My question is where do I find it? The back was to my home computer.<br />
I received the email that said backup was complete. Will some of this info that is in the email help?<br />
<br />
pkgacctfile is /home/videotip/backup-7.23.2008_14-47-09_videotip.tar.gz<br />
<br />
also has this md5sum is d08574fd701f40f50c0bd0127cd11e23<br />
<br />
Also if it is on the webserver how do I find it and get onto my own computer?<br />
Please answer in easy step by step help, if you can.<br />
Thank you for your help<br />

Aside from the email notice that backup has been completed, you can have the backup file sent to you. It normally is sent as an attachment and compressed with an *rar extension.

You can also use FTP and go to that location listed in the email in the ftp program to download the file to your computer. The md5 is probably the encryption they used to keep your information private.
