Manual Backup & Restore for WordPress Hosting

Before diving into the step-by-step process, let's explore the primary benefits this feature brings to your digital workspace:

Flexibility: Initiate backups at your convenience, allowing you to decide when your data is saved.
Security: Backups are stored for 14 days, providing a reliable safety net for your data against unforeseen issues.
Efficiency: The process is streamlined, offering straightforward options to back up files or both files and the database without hassle.

Follow these simple steps to utilize the manual backup and restore feature effectively:

Accessing the WordPress Tab:

Navigate to the sites tab from the left navigation menu and click on the WordPress tab. If your account is already connected to WordPress, you can skip the activation step. If not, click on the "Activate WordPress For" button.

Activating WordPress:

Upon clicking the activation button, you'll be directed to a new page. Here, enter the required details and subscribe to activate WordPress hosting for your account.

Initiating a Manual Backup:

In the WordPress tab, you'll notice a new "Backup Now" button. Click on this button to start the manual backup process.
Name your backup according to your preference, select the necessary checkboxes based on what you need to back up (files, database, or both), and then click on "Create Backup."

Monitoring Backup Progress:

After initiating the backup, you can monitor the progress directly on the page. Once the backup is complete, it will be labeled as "Manually" in your backup list, indicating that it was initiated by you.

What if my backup fails to initiate?

Ensure your WordPress hosting is active and that you haven't exceeded the limit of five manual backups within 14 days. If the issue persists, contact our support team for assistance.
