FAQ

What does it backup?

Right now, the database. All the wordpress-related tables.

How does it do it?

Connects to your site and grabs a snapshot of your database.

If your site’s total backups exceed the space quota you have it will look for the oldest site backup that isn’t locked and will erase it

The backups are compressed automatically so you can have more of them in the same space.

Locked backups?

A locked backup won’t be erased when you run out of space.

Go to the Backup – Restore page, select a site and you can lock and unlock a backup from that list.

Warning! If you lock all of your backups and run out of space no new backups will be saved.

When do the backups occur?

As often as possible.

How do i restore my site?

Go to backup -> restore. If your site has a backup, you will be able to restore the database. But please remember to go to your site’s administration page, the WordPressBackup plugin, Options page, and select ‘yes’ for “Allow restore of data from WordPressBackup?”. Otherwise the WordPressBackup can’t upload anything your site.

Can i have my backups?

We believe they are your backups. We’re merely keeping them safe for you. Just go to the Backup – Restore page, select a site and download the active backups.

How long will you keep my backups?

Although we can’t guarantee anything at this point we will do our best to keep it for a year from your last update.

Privacy

Right now the data is stored as a SQL export, so you can use tools as PhpMyAdmin from your host to restore or use your data in any way. We consider every account as having an agreement with us:

API setting on wordpressbackup.com

There are some people that have the blog set up to not run scripts from the plugins folder.

To fix this :

<?php
if(is_file('wp-content/plugins/wordpressbackup/wpbdc.php'))
{
	define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
	if ( !isset($wp_did_header) ) {
		$wp_did_header = true;
	}
	require_once('wp-load.php');
	require_once('wp-content/plugins/wordpressbackup/wpbdc.php');
}
?>
