Site Backups

Understanding and Using Site Backups

With Site Backups, you can create copies of all your website pages and their content. This feature helps protect your website from accidental mistakes, unwanted changes, or data corruption, ensuring you can always revert to a stable version.

Types of Site Backups

• Manual Backups. These are backups you create yourself at any time. This section will remain empty until you create your first backup.
• Automatic Backups. The system automatically creates these backups for you one hour after the last change in the Site Editor. After applying new changes, the backup countdown starts from the beginning. You can see the date and time of the last automatic update in its section.
• Last Published Backups. A special type of automatic backup created specifically when you publish your project.

Backups Limits

There is a limit of backups that can be created for your project:

• Published Site. You can have up to 10 backups in total: 8 manual, 1 automatic, and 1 last published backup.
• Unpublished Site. You can have up to 9 backups in total: 8 manual and 1 automatic backup.

Please Note: Add-ons (e.g., Store, Blog) are independent and cannot be backed up. They always reflect the current state of your project. For example, if the current version of the project has an Add-on activated, it will show in the backup preview and will remain unchanged after restoring. If the current version of the project doesn't contain a certain Add-on (but it was active at the moment of backup creation), it will not show in the backup preview and will not be restored along with the project.
