What's included in every backup

A full backup isn't just your files — it's everything that makes your site actually work.

Files

Every file on your server, exactly as it sits today.

  • Themes, plugins, and uploads
  • Custom code and configs
  • Media libraries of any size

Database

A consistent snapshot of every table, taken without locking your site.

  • Posts, pages, and products
  • Users, orders, and settings
  • Custom tables and plugin data

Email

Mailboxes hosted on your server, backed up alongside everything else.

  • Inboxes and folders
  • Forwarders and filters
  • Attachments included

Not every restore is the same

Questions about backup & restore

The details people ask about before they switch.

Yes. You can download a backup and restore it to any server, not just the one it came from — useful for migrations as much as recovery.

A full restore replaces files, database, and email together. Selective restore lets you bring back just one of the three, leaving the rest untouched

No. A staging restore builds a separate copy you can review, and nothing changes on your live site until you choose to push it there.

That depends on your plan's version history — 14 days on Starter, 90 on Pro, and up to 365 days on Agency.

Yes, on-demand backups let you create a fresh restore point anytime, in addition to your automatic schedule.
