The Importance of Manual Backups

Why Manual Backups Matter

Manual backups are essential for maintaining the integrity of your website. They provide a way to safeguard your data against unforeseen issues, such as technical failures, hacking attempts, or accidental data loss. By creating manual backups, you ensure that you always have a recent copy of your site that you can restore if something goes wrong.

How to Create Manual Backups for WordPress

Step-by-Step Guide

Let’s get started with the training on how to create manual backups for your WordPress site. Follow these simple steps to ensure your website’s data is secure.

Step 1: Access the Sub Account Level

First, you need to be on the sub account level. On the left-hand side of the dashboard, scroll down to Sites.

Step 2: Navigate to the WordPress Section

Once you’ve clicked on Sites, scroll up to the top and next to Blogs, you’ll see WordPress. Click on WordPress to access a series of options in the drop-down menu.

Step 3: Select Backup

In the drop-down menu, scroll down to Backup. This will allow you to access the manual backup and restore options.

Automatic vs. Manual Backups

While we automatically create daily backups for your site and store them for three days, having the option to manually backup your website provides additional security. You can see the last three days’ worth of backups, but manual backups offer an extra layer of protection.

Creating a Manual Backup

Customizing Your Backup

To create a manual backup, scroll to the right and click on Backup Now. One of the great features of this option is the ability to name your backup specifically. This helps you remember the purpose of the backup. For instance, you can name it after a major update or before making significant changes to your site.

Step 4: Name and Create Your Backup

Type in the name of your backup and select whether you want to back up the files, the database, or both. After naming your backup (e.g., “Manual Backup Before Major Update”), click on Create Backup.

Monitoring the Backup Process

Once you initiate the backup, you’ll see a progress bar at the top indicating the backup’s progress. The bar will start at 0% and gradually increase until the backup is complete.

Restoring from a Manual Backup

Restoring Your Site

If you need to restore your site from a manual backup, it’s straightforward. Once the manual backup is complete, you’ll see an option to restore the version. Click on this option to revert your site to the state it was in when the backup was created.

Benefits of Manual Backups

Peace of Mind

Having manual backups ensures that your data is safe and accessible at all times. This feature provides peace of mind, knowing that you are in control of your website’s information and are not at risk of losing critical data.

Flexibility and Control

Manual backups give you the flexibility to decide when and why you want to back up your site. Whether it’s before a major update, after significant changes, or just as a routine precaution, this feature gives you full control over your website’s data.
