AES-256 Encryption Pro
Protect sensitive data with military-grade encryption. Only you have the key to decrypt your backups. Essential for sites handling customer data.
Push/Pull Migration Pro

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I upgrade from Free to Pro later?
Absolutely! Your existing backups and settings are preserved when you upgrade. Simply install Pro over Free and enter your license key.
What's the difference between the tiers?
Free provides essential backups with configurable retention (default 30). Pro ($49/yr) adds unlimited backups, cloud storage, staging, and encryption. Business ($129/yr) adds Site Health monitoring for 5 sites. Agency ($299/yr) adds Slack/Discord/webhook alerts and weekly reports for unlimited sites.
What is Site Health monitoring?
A comprehensive monitoring suite (Business+) that checks your SSL certificate, disk space, PHP error logs, database health, plugin updates, and Core Web Vitals every 12 hours. You get a single health score (0-100) and plain-English recommendations.
How many backups can I keep on Free?
The free version supports up to 30 backups by default with configurable retention. Older backups are automatically cleaned up based on your settings.
Do I need cloud storage?
For true disaster recovery, yes. If your server fails, local backups are lost too. Cloud storage ensures your backups survive any server issue.
What happens when my license expires?
Your backups remain intact and you can still restore from them. You lose access to updates, support, cloud storage, scheduling, and Site Health monitoring until you renew.
Is staging included in all paid plans?
Yes! Staging sites are included in all SiteVault paid plans (Pro, Business, and Agency) - no additional purchase required.
Is the Free version time-limited?
No! SiteVault Free is fully functional with no expiration. Use it as long as you want - we hope you'll love it enough to upgrade.
