This video is far better than all the previous ones I've watched. No bs, no sponsored promotion, honest opinion based on experience. I just subscribed to your channel because of your straightforward, cut to the chase style of videos. Keep up the good work!

This videos was amazing. Thank you❤

Great great information!! Thanks a million for this. This is what I’ve been searching for. You are a lifesaver. Now I don’t have to worry about giving admin access to these Google advertising agencies ha ha or the SeO agencies that I’m planning to hire to promote my business.

Paul, enjoyed the video. It's good to get a refresher video every now and then on simple yet important tasks like this. I've noticed lately you have really stepped up your video presentation graphics. Nice job!

Thank you for being comprehensive and yet concise. I'm saving this video as a reminder for the next couple of years (after that, the websites and policies might change...). Have a great new year!

I’ve been watching so many videos about this since last weekend. Thanks so much.

Great and straight to the point, thanks

Thank you for this great video

thankyou needed this

Thank you

I have only ever needed to restore a site once and i used server backup from cloudways. However i always have 3 levels of back up incase one fails. I used server level, WP vivid sent to remote storage and before updates i take a manual WP all in one back up and export it.

Very good content! =D

Great, thank you Paul! But why do you think it's better to save in the cloud? The idea of having my files saved on the pc, seems to me to be the safest, at least, the way my business is structured (I work on the desktop pc and still have my files stored on the hard drives). I guess it is a personal preference at the end of the day, however, I would like to know if there are any security or other arguments besides convenience and storage location that currently escape me. Thank you very much for your content.

Does anyone know if the files of the previous backups are deleted in the mode "schedule" or increment? or does it always creates a new additional backup? (Would be interesting for large websites: there vivid creates always multiple files for one backup. is the question: - if it would always create a new one - if you see then through there or the vivid software when restoring...)

Great presentation Paul. I was wondering whether you'd set up free storage accounts on DropBox, etc for each of your clients?

You certainly could do that. I’d say most clients would have access to at least one of the supported cloud providers.

Thanks Paul...quick question How do you know how big your website actually is ? If it is really massive-website lets say 50 GB will this method to download to Dropbox actually work ( if I remember right, a long time ago, it just showed me the error,I assume cos of size ??

Paul, do you know if you pick both files and DB for backup, can you restore them separately? Meaning if I do a backup of both together, can I turn around and only restore the files or only restore the DB?

I don't believe so. My understanding is that they are stored in the same zip during back-up.

It should also be said that back up plug ins are resources greedy?

What if restoring from backup fails? Then you have wiped your original with a failing backup? And you do restore into a subdomain and if that works, copy it across to root? Last question: What are your thoughts on backup and restore work through Softaculous?

A good practice is to take a backup of the current status before restoring a previous one.
