Instant Backups

These types of backups provide an instant archived version of your WordPress site.

To access your Instant backups using the Pressidium Dashboard

From the Backups page, you can:

Offsite Backups

Offsite backups are being stored in a safe off-site facility, in cases of catastrophic failure. Offsite backups contain all your websites and media, including the SQL database. 

To view your Offsite backups using the Pressidium Dashboard

  2. Go to your website's overview by clicking your website name. Tip: You can also use the S keyboard shortcut to display the quick search dialog and navigate to your website, searching by name.

To restore an offsite backup you can issue an off-site backup restore request.

Important: The retention policy for offsite backups is 30 days.
