Protecting websites

A website can be corrupted as a result of unauthorized access or a malware attack. Back up your website if you want to easily revert it to a healthy state, in case of corruption.

What do I need to back up a website?

The website must be accessible via the SFTP or SSH protocol. You do not need to install an agent, just add a website as described later in this section.

What items can be backed up?

You can back up the following items:

  • Website content files

    All files accessible to the account you specify for the SFTP or SSH connection.

  • Linked databases (if any) hosted on MySQL servers.

    All databases accessible to the MySQL account you specify.

If your website employs databases, we recommend that you back up both the files and the databases, to be able to recover them to a consistent state.

Limitations

  • The only backup location available for website backup is the cloud storage.
  • It is possible to apply several protection plans to a website, but only one of them can run on a schedule. Other plans need to be started manually.
  • The only available backup option is "Backup file name".
  • The website protection plans are not shown on the Plans > Protection tab.
