Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about BackupYourSite

In wp-content/uploads/backupyoursite/archives/. Each backup gets its own folder with a random name, and the folder is protected by an index.php stub, an .htaccess rule and a web.config rule. The plugin also tests, over HTTP, whether those rules actually work on your server, and warns you loudly if they do not.

Open BackupYourSite → Restore, pick the backup to restore from, choose files, database, or both, and confirm. The plugin takes a snapshot of the current site first, then restores in small steps and reports progress as it works.

Take a backup on the old site, download or transfer the archive, install BackupYourSite on the new site, and restore it there. The database dump and file archive are both verified before they count as a usable backup, so a migration starts from a backup you know is intact.

WordPress's built-in scheduler only runs when someone visits the site, so it may not. The Settings screen shows a cron line you can paste into your hosting control panel to fix that.

No. See "What it does not do" above. Download the archive and restore it through your host.

No. Everything the plugin does — scheduled backups, incremental backups, verification, retention, restore — works with no account and with no connection to us. An account only adds the optional offsite cloud destination. Until you connect one, the plugin makes no request to any external service at all.

Not in any backup that leaves your server. As soon as a backup run has an off-server destination selected, the plugin leaves these files out of the archive it builds: wp-config.php any wp-config-*.php variant your host or staging setup uses (except the core wp-config-sample.php, which holds only placeholders) wp-salt.php and wp-salts.php .env That is deliberate. wp-config.php holds your WordPress authentication keys and salts, which sign this site's login cookies and nonces, plus your database credentials — and none of that

destination you selected, so the exclusion applies to the whole run as soon as any destination

because nothing leaves your server. Nothing a restore needs is lost. Restoring happens inside a working WordPress that already has its own wp-config.php, which the plugin never overwrites. A site being rebuilt from nothing gets a fresh wp-config.php with fresh salts from the WordPress installer, which is the safer outcome anyway — reusing the salts of a site you have just lost would keep every old session signable.

Your backup archives, which contain your files (minus the configuration files listed above) and your whole database. The full list is in the "External Services" section above. No telemetry or usage statistics are ever sent.
