Create an Instant backup
Create an Instant backup before making changes to your website so you have a recent restore point. You can add a description to help identify the backup later.
You can create a backup using the Pressidium Dashboard:
- Select the Websites menu option from the Dashboard sidebar.
- Go to your website’s overview by clicking on its name.
- Navigate to the Backups page by clicking the link on the navigation bar.
In the Backups screen, click Create an Instant Backup.
A popup window will show where you can add a short description that helps you identify what the backup contains.
Click Create. Once the backup procedure is finished you will receive a Dashboard notification. You can leverage Instant Backups to easily roll back to a previous version of your website.

If the instant backup does not complete, or you are not sure whether an instant backup is enough before making a change, contact our Support team before continuing.
