Backup Management

Automated daily WordPress backups with offsite cloud storage, incremental snapshots, and tested restoration procedures for complete disaster recovery.

What's Included

Everything you get with our Backup Management

Daily Automated Backups

Full-site backups run every day covering your database, files, themes, plugins, and media library

Offsite Cloud Storage

Backups stored on geographically separate cloud servers so a hosting failure cannot take your backups with it

Tested Restoration Procedures

We regularly test restores on a staging environment so you know your backups actually work when you need them

Our Backup Management Process

1

Audit Your Current Setup

We review your existing backup situation: what is being backed up, how often, where backups are stored, and whether they have ever been tested. Many sites have backup plugins installed but no one has verified they work.

2

Configure Automated Backups

We set up automated daily full-site backups on a schedule that minimizes server load during your peak traffic hours. Incremental backups capture changes between full snapshots for efficient storage use.

3

Establish Offsite Storage

Backups are automatically transferred to a secure, geographically separate cloud storage location. We configure retention policies based on your needs, typically keeping 30 days of daily backups and 12 months of monthly archives.

4

Test and Monitor

We perform a full test restore to a staging environment to confirm backup integrity. Ongoing monitoring alerts our team if any backup job fails, and we run periodic test restores to ensure continued reliability.

Key Benefits

Automated Daily Backups

Your entire WordPress site, including the database, files, themes, plugins, and media, is backed up automatically every day. No manual steps. No risk of forgetting. If something goes wrong, you always have a recent copy to restore from.

Offsite Cloud Storage

Backups are stored on geographically separate cloud infrastructure. If your hosting provider has a catastrophic failure, your backups remain safe and accessible. We maintain multiple retention points so you can restore to any date within your retention window.

Tested Restoration Procedures

A backup is only valuable if it works. We periodically restore backups to a staging environment to verify data integrity and confirm that every restoration procedure completes successfully. When disaster strikes, there are no surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often are backups taken?

We run full-site backups daily as our standard practice. For high-traffic ecommerce sites or sites with frequent content changes, we can increase backup frequency to every 6 or 12 hours. Each backup captures your database, all WordPress files, themes, plugins, uploads, and configuration files.

Where are backups stored?

Backups are stored on cloud infrastructure that is geographically separate from your hosting server. This means that if your hosting provider experiences a catastrophic failure, fire, or data center outage, your backups remain completely safe and accessible for restoration.

How quickly can you restore my site from a backup?

A typical WordPress site can be fully restored from backup in 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of your site and database. Because we regularly test our restoration procedures, there is no guesswork involved. We know exactly how long your specific site takes to restore.

Do you test the backups to make sure they work?

Yes. Many backup services simply store files without ever verifying they can be restored. We periodically perform full test restores to a staging environment, confirming that the database loads correctly, all files are intact, and the site functions properly. You receive confirmation that your backups are verified and working.
