Store backups off-server for true disaster recovery. If your server goes down, your backups are safe in Google Cloud, Amazon S3, Dropbox, OneDrive, or your own FTP server.
Set it and forget it. Schedule hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly backups that run automatically. Combined with retention policies, old backups are cleaned up automatically.
Test updates, new plugins, or design changes safely on a staging copy. When everything looks good, push to your live site with one click. If something goes wrong, rollback instantly.
Protect sensitive data with military-grade encryption. Only you have the key to decrypt your backups - not even we can access them. Essential for sites handling customer data.
Migrate directly between servers without downloading files. Push your local site to a remote server, or pull a remote site to your local environment. Perfect for agencies.
Stay informed about your backup status. Get email notifications when backups complete successfully or fail. Never wonder if your site is protected.
Only backup what's changed since your last backup. Incremental backups are faster, use less storage, and reduce server load - perfect for large sites or frequent backups.
Optimize and repair your WordPress database. Remove post revisions, spam, and transients to keep your database lean. Repair corrupted tables with one click.
Full programmatic access for developers. Trigger backups, list restores, and manage settings via REST API. Integrate SiteVault into your automation workflows.
