Overview

Backups are an essential part of maintaining your WordPress site. In WPShift, you can easily create, manage, and restore backups for your sites to ensure data security and peace of mind. This guide will walk you through the process of managing backups in WPShift. WPShift uses Restic to back up your sites. To enable backups, ensure Restic is installed on your server. If it’s not installed, click the Install Restic button on the backups page. WPShift supports the following backup locations:

Amazon S3

Your backups are stored in an Amazon S3 bucket.

Local

Your backups are stored locally on the same server as the site.

FTP

Your backups are stored on an FTP server.

​
Backup jobs

Backup jobs are scheduled tasks that automatically create backups of your sites at specified intervals. You can create, manage, and delete backup jobs from the backups page.

​
Creating a backup job

To create a backup job, visit the backups page and click the Create new backup job button. You will be prompted to select the site you want to back up, the backup location, and the backup schedule. Once you have configured the backup job settings, click Create backup job to save the job.
