Backups
WordPress backups you can actually restore
A backup is only useful if it works on the day you need it. I set up automatic backups, store them off your hosting and verify they really restore, so a failure or a hack is never an irreversible disaster.
How often should a WordPress website be backed up?
For a website that changes often or an online store, a daily backup is recommended, stored off the server itself and checked to make sure it can be restored. A backup that hasn’t been tested isn’t a reliable backup. WP Sereno runs daily off-site backups on all its plans.
What’s included
Backups you can rely on
Automatic backups
Scheduled to match how often your site changes: daily for stores, weekly for static websites.
Stored off the server
If your hosting goes down or gets infected, your backups are safe somewhere else.
Verified restore
I check that the backup actually restores. An untested backup isn’t a backup.
Retention to suit you
I keep a history so you can roll back days or weeks, not just to yesterday.
Fast restore
If something goes wrong, I get the website back to how it was as quickly as possible.
Website and database
Full backup: files and database, not just part of it.
FAQ
Questions about backups
How often are backups made?
It depends on your website. A store with daily orders needs daily backups; a website that rarely changes, weekly ones. I tailor it to your case.
Where are they stored?
Off your server, in external storage, so they remain available even if the hosting fails or gets infected.
How long does it take you to restore the website?
It depends on the size, but it’s fast. With a maintenance plan you get priority.
Do backups protect me against a hack?
They help a lot: they let you roll back to a clean state. But they should be combined with security and cleanup so you don’t restore the infection too.
Is this included in the maintenance plans?
Yes, all plans include backups. The higher tiers come with more frequent backups and longer retention.
