These instructions show you how to restore files and databases from automatic backups.

Note that we do not generally recommend restoring automatic backups unless absolutely necessary. You should first try to solve any problems with the site by other means.

We recommend that you make backups of sites created with the installation program directly in the installation program. See our instructions here.

Start

Our system will take backups of accounts daily and saves them for 14 days on the server. You can view and restore backups in the admin panel, under “Automatic backups”.
