WordPress App Backups and Restoration

We provide completely managed and automated nightly backups of all of your files and databases, with a 14 day retention period.

Backups are archived in off-site secure storage at Amazon's S3 service, and can be retrieved from within the Atomic control panel.

Note: These backups only include the files and database within your app. Additional files, such as files inside your home directory, are not included within our automated backup systems.

Accessing Your App's Backups

1. Begin by logging into the Atomic control panel.
2. On the left side menu, click on Apps.
   
   
   
   
3. To the right of the app that you want to access backups for, click on the gear/settings icon.
   
   
   
   
4. Once within your app's settings, click on the Backups tab.
   
   
   
   
5. To create a link to your backups, click on Request Download to the right of the backup that you want to access. This will create a time-sensitive links to your SQL and content files.
   
   
   
   
6. From here, you can now use the appropriate button to download a backup of your files and/or database.
   
   

Please contact our support team if you need to perform a full restore.

Can I Store My Backups Elsewhere?

For VPS and Enterprise users, you may also provide us with your own S3 account's credentials and we can push a second copy each night there as well. For that backup scenario, you can set your own retention period.
