Managing Backups in Your Apex Managed Panel

Backups are an essential safeguard in protecting your website against data loss. Whether due to accidental deletion, hacking, or server failures, your backups ensure you can restore your WordPress site to a previous state and minimize downtime. With Your Apex Managed Panel, managing backups is simple, reliable, and designed to give you peace of mind so you can focus on your work with confidence.

This guide covers the importance of backups and how to create, schedule, and manage them in Your Apex Managed Panel.

Why Are Backups Important?

Website backups act as a safety net for any unforeseen event that may jeopardize your data or website functionality, such as:

• Accidental Deletions: Quickly recover important files or your entire site.
• Hacking Attempts: Restore a clean version of your site to minimize damage.
• Server Failures: Get back online swiftly without losing vital information.

With regular backups in place, you protect your valuable content and customer data while minimizing the potential for downtime.

Creating a New Backup

Creating a manual backup is fast and easy. Here’s how to do it:

1. Navigate to the instance’s Details page in Your Apex Managed Panel.
2. Access the Backups section.
3. Click the Add New button located to the right.

This process generates a snapshot of your site at its current state, which you can restore at any time.

Scheduling Automatic Backups

For added convenience, you can enable automatic backups for your WordPress site. Automatic backups are set to run on a schedule, ensuring your site remains backed up without manual input.

Key Points to Know:

• The availability of automatic backups depends on the type of hosting plan associated with your instance.
• For some hosting plans, automatic backup schedules can be customized freely.
• On certain plans, backup scheduling may be predefined by your administrator, and you won’t be able to adjust them.

Automatic backups ensure regular protection, especially for active or frequently updated sites.

Viewing and Managing Backup History

Your Apex Managed Panel provides a detailed backup history, helping you track important information for every backup. This includes:

• Backup Name
• Date and Time the backup was created
• Backup Size
• Type (Automatic or Manual)
• WordPress Version attached to the backup
• Custom Notes (if added)

Using Backup Actions

From the backup history, you can perform key actions for managing your backups:

• Restore: Use this to revert your website to the state saved in a particular backup.
• Download: Save backups locally for additional security or compliance purposes.
• Delete: Remove backups by clicking the delete button to free up space. Multiple backups can be selected and deleted simultaneously.

A handy search feature above the backup history lets you quickly locate specific backups without scrolling through the full list.
