WordPress Backups

Three copies a day, every day, forever

Your website should never have one copy. Every site we host backs itself up daily to three separate places — and one of those places belongs to you.

Backups are boring right up until they're everything

Nobody’s ever hired us because of backups, and no part of the service earns its keep more thoroughly. A website can be undone by a bad update, a compromised plugin, a server failure, or one honest mistake in an admin screen — and every one of those disasters is a shrug if yesterday’s copy is sitting safely somewhere else.

So here’s exactly how the copies work, because “we take backups” is a claim every host makes and almost none of them itemize.

The Three Places

Where your website sleeps at night

Every night, three full copies of your website land in three different locations. One stays on the server the site lives on — the quick restore point for everyday oops-moments. One goes to secure cloud storage run by a different company in a different place, untouchable by anything that could happen to the primary server. And one lands in a shared folder you can open yourself, any day of the week, and see your website sitting there in file form.

We keep a full year of history, too — so the question is never “do we have a backup?” but “which day would you like back?” A problem discovered three weeks late is still a solved problem.

Your Copy

One of the three places is yours

That shared folder deserves its own paragraph, because it’s the part almost nobody else offers. It’s a backup repository — which is just a fancy way of saying a folder in your own cloud storage that fills up with dated copies of your entire website, along with plain-English instructions for what to do with them. If you ever needed to bring the website back from the dead without us — any WordPress professional on earth could do it from that folder — everything required is already in your hands.

You’ll likely never open it. It exists so that trusting us never requires trusting us completely. You’re never trapped.

The standing arrangement

Every site here is under management

We designed these sites, we host them, and we keep them current — the same standing arrangement that comes with every build.

  • Cory K. — Pink Wig Foundation★★★★★

    Becker has been a huge supporter of the Pink Wig Foundation since day one. He built our website to perfection and is always a text away for any issues we may have! He has also done all my design for my King Management business and it is top notch! If I could put 10 stars I would! He’s the best in the business.

FAQ

Two questions about the copies

  • How fast can you restore the site if something goes wrong?

    Minutes, in the common cases — a bad update or a content mistake rolls back from the on-server copy almost immediately. A full restore from off-site storage takes longer but is measured in hours, not days. Every update we apply is preceded by a fresh backup for exactly this reason: the road back always exists before we take a step forward.

  • We're not hosted with you. Can you set up backups for our site?

    The full three-places arrangement is part of hosting with us, so the honest path usually starts with a look at moving the site over. If a move isn’t in the cards yet, we can still tell you plainly what your current backup situation actually is — most owners who ask us to check discover the answer is “one copy, on the same server, fingers crossed.”

Sleep Test

Do you know where your website's copies are?

If you can't answer in one sentence, that's worth fixing — it's one of the cheapest pieces of peace of mind in your whole business. Ask us where your site stands and what proper copies would look like.
