Activate Cloud Sites Backups

Cloud Sites offers easy backup solutions for your sites and databases. In just a few steps, you can select your backup plan, enable it on a site and database and schedule when you’d like to have the backups run. Once you add your plan, you will enable backups for each site individually. Let’s take a look at ordering your backup plan first.

The first time you open backups, you’ll be presented with the plan options.

3. Scroll down to the bottom of the site page, and click on the down arrow in the Backups section.
   

   

   
   
4. The section will open and you can choose your backup plan:
   

   

   • Basic
