What gets measured after launch

Clear targets, honest reporting, and a plan you can change

What gets measured after launch

Reports are short here. One page of numbers you can act on beats twenty you cannot. If website backup is not producing the number we agreed, that is our problem to solve, not yours to chase.

Why it helps

Built for verifiable day to day use

Automated and daily

Backs up your files and database on a schedule, no manual trigger required.

Stored off-site

Backups live separately from your hosting, so a server issue doesn't take them out too.

One-click restore

Recover a previous version directly, without a manual restore process.

How it works

Once connected, the tool runs automatically on a daily schedule, capturing both your site's files and its database and storing copies off site rather than on the same server that would be affected if something went wrong. If your site goes down, gets hacked, or an update breaks something, you restore from the most recent backup in one click instead of rebuilding by hand or waiting on a hosting provider's own backup policy, which often isn't as frequent as daily.

Questions our clients ask us

Questions about Website Backup

What does Website Backup actually protect?

It protects both halves of your site: the files (theme, plugins, media uploads) and the database (posts, pages, settings, orders). A backup that only covers one half leaves you exposed, so both are captured in the same job.

How often does the backup run, and do I need to trigger it manually?

Backups run automatically on a daily schedule once configured. No manual trigger is required for routine runs; you can still start one on demand before a risky change.

Where are the backup files stored?

Copies are stored off site, separate from the server that hosts your website. This means a server failure, hack, or hosting account issue does not take the backup copies down with it.

What happens if I need to restore after something breaks?

You select the backup snapshot you want and trigger a restore. Files and database are put back to the state captured in that snapshot, with no manual file transfer or database import required on your end.

Does setup require touching code or server configuration?

No. Setup is handled through your account connection to the site; no code edits, server access, or command line steps are required from you.

How long are backup snapshots retained before they are deleted?

Retention follows the plan you are on; older snapshots roll off to keep storage manageable while recent history stays available for restore. Check your account dashboard for the exact retention window on your plan.

Will a restore overwrite changes made after the backup was taken?

Yes. A restore returns the site to the exact state of the selected snapshot, so anything changed after that snapshot was taken will be replaced. Choose the correct snapshot date before confirming.

Does this work with any hosting provider?

It is built to work with standard WordPress and common CMS hosting setups. Highly customized server environments may need a quick compatibility check before the first backup runs cleanly.

Is the backup data encrypted?

Yes. Backup files are encrypted both while being transferred off site and while stored, so a copy of the backup alone is not usable without the correct access credentials.

How is this different from backing the site up myself?

A manual backup depends on you remembering to run it, store it somewhere separate from the server, and test that the restore actually works. This automates all three steps and removes the chance of a missed or corrupted manual backup.

Can I restore just one file instead of the entire site?

The standard restore applies the full snapshot. If you only need one file or table recovered, support can assist with a partial restore from the same backup set.

What happens to my backups if I cancel the service?

Backup generation stops at cancellation. Existing stored snapshots remain available for a set window after cancellation so you can download them before they are removed; check your account for the exact cutoff.

Does a large website slow down or fail the backup job?

Backup jobs are built to handle large file and database sizes without failing mid-run. Very large sites may take longer to complete, but the process runs in the background and does not require you to wait on it.

Who can access my backup files?

Only your account and authorized support staff assisting with a restore request can access your backup data. No third party has standing access to your stored backups.

What support is available if a restore does not work as expected?

Support is available to diagnose a failed or incomplete restore and manually recover from the backup set if the automated process does not complete cleanly.

About Website Backup

Website Backup is a tool we deploy for clients rather than something we resell. Backups live separately from your hosting, so a server issue doesn't take them out too. Scope and price are agreed in writing before anything starts.
