How to Use StackCP Backup and Restore Safely

StackCP · Self-help guide

Backups are important before making major website changes. Log in to StackCP and open the Backup, Backup/Restore, or available backup tool for your hosting package. Review the backup dates and choose the most suitable restore point. Before restoring, check whether the restore affects files, databases, emails, or the full website. If there is an option to download a backup first, download it and keep it safe. When restoring files, avoid overwriting recent work unless you are sure the backup is correct. For database-driven websites such as WordPress, files and databases may both need to match. If the restore could affect a live business site, contact support before proceeding.
