Introduction

Backups are essential to protect your website’s information. From SiteWorx you can generate and download full or partial copies of your files, databases, and configurations.

Step 1 – Access the Backups Section

In the SiteWorx panel go to:

Hosting Features → Backups → Backup Now

Step 2 – Choose the Backup Type

In the configuration window select Backup Type:

• Full Backup: complete copy of site, databases, and configurations.

• Partial Backup: copy of only files or only databases.

• Structure-Only Backup: saves only the database structure.

Step 3 – Define the Backup Destination

Under Backup Where, choose where to store the copy:

• Default Location: on the server (default location).

• Local File: direct download to your computer.

• FTP: upload to an FTP server.

• SFTP/SCP: secure upload to a remote server.

Click Continue to start the process.

Step 4 – Confirm and Generate the Backup

The system will process the backup. Depending on the size of your site, it may take a few minutes.

Step 5 – Download or Manage Backups

Once created, the backup will be available in Backups → Management, where you can download or restore it whenever needed.

Recommendations

• Perform regular backups to always keep a recent copy of your site.

• Keep at least one copy outside the server (e.g., on your computer or cloud storage).

• Always generate a backup before major changes (updates, migrations, plugin installations).
