Website Backup & Restore

Your website data is valuable and often irreplaceable. Our WordPress backup and restore service creates complete copies of your site’s files and database, giving you a safety net against data loss from hacking, server failures, accidental deletion, or failed updates.

Full Site Backup

We create a complete backup that includes your entire WordPress installation with core files, themes, and plugins. We also back up your full database with all posts, pages, comments, settings, and user data, along with all uploaded media including images, videos, and documents, and your configuration files. The backup is stored securely and provided directly to you for safekeeping.

Backup Verification

A backup is only useful if it actually works when you need it. We verify every backup by checking file integrity and completeness, confirming the database export is valid and can be imported successfully, and testing restoration in a controlled environment when requested. We do not simply run a backup tool and call it done.

Site Restoration

If you need to restore your site from an existing backup, we handle the entire process. This includes uploading and extracting backup files to your server, importing your database, updating site URLs if the domain or server path has changed, verifying that all functionality works after restoration, and resolving any issues that come up during the restore process.

When You Should Get a Backup

You should order a backup before making any major changes to your site such as theme switches, major plugin updates, or WordPress core upgrades. You should also maintain regular backups if your site contains customer data, frequently updated content, or generates revenue. For ongoing automated backups, our monthly care plans include daily or weekly backup schedules that run without you having to think about it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the backup stored?

We provide the backup file directly to you. You can store it on your cloud storage, external drive, or wherever you prefer to keep it secure.

Can you restore a backup made by a different service or plugin?

In most cases, yes. We work with backups created by UpdraftPlus, BackupBuddy, Duplicator, All-in-One WP Migration, and manual server backups.

How large can the backup be?

We handle backups of any size. Large sites with extensive media libraries may take longer to process and transfer, but there is no size limit on our end.

How often should I back up my site?

It depends on how often your content changes. Sites updated daily should have daily backups. Sites updated less frequently can use weekly or monthly backups.
