Backup schedules and retention, site by site

An online shop's database changes every hour, its images almost never. With one daily backup of everything, you save the images too often and the database too rarely.

One rule for every site doesn't work.

One site needs the database every night and a full backup every month, another a full backup every week. With a single schedule you save too much or too little.

And the good backup from before a big change shouldn't disappear just because newer ones came along.

Independent schedules, each with its own retention.

  1. Create the schedules

    Up to five per site: daily, weekly or monthly, at the hour you like, in the site's time zone.

  2. Choose content and retention

    Each schedule has its own content, such as everything or database only, and the number of backups to keep.

  3. Keep forever

    One click takes a backup out of retention, and it will never be deleted automatically.

Frequently asked questions

What if two schedules are due at the same time?

They run one after the other: each site runs one backup at a time.

Does a backup kept forever use storage?

Yes, it counts towards your plan's storage until you delete it or put it back under normal retention.
