Core, plugins, themes, uploads, and any file you added yourself.
Full database
A consistent dump taken without locking your site.
Encrypted off-site
Encrypted in transit and at rest, held on infrastructure we control.
Create a restore point
1
Open the Backups tab
Give it a description you’ll recognise later— “Before WooCommerce update” beats “backup 3”.
2
Click Create backup
Your site stays online the whole time. Avoid plugin, theme, core, import, or migration work until it finishes, so the snapshot is internally consistent.
3
Wait for the email
We email you when the backup finishes— or if it fails.
Restore a site
Pick a restore point and click Restore. Your files and database are replaced with that snapshot’s contents. Before restoring, we automatically take a fresh safety backup of the current state, so a restore is itself reversible. If you’re already at your backup limit there’s no room for one, and the panel makes you choose: delete an old restore point first, or explicitly continue without a safety backup.Managing your slots
You have 10 slots per site. When they’re full:- Delete a restore point you no longer need, or
- Add extra slots from the Add-ons tab.
Automatic backups
Core updates take their own safety backup first:- Manual core updates always take a fresh backup, and the panel blocks the update if there’s no room.
- Automatic minor/security updates do the same. If your slots are full, the update is held and we email you rather than proceeding unprotected— unless you’ve opted in to let it run anyway.
Backups are restore points for your site, not a substitute for your own archive. If your business depends on the data, keep an independent copy too.
