Your hosting data deserves a safe second location. WebRock stores backups offsite – separate from your live server. Snapshots stay available even if something goes wrong on production.
One backup slot is included free with every plan. You can restore that state anytime from the dashboard. Need more historical points? Add extra slots for 10% of your plan price each as a monthly surcharge.
What’s included?
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| 1 backup slot | Free with your plan |
| Offsite storage | Backup lives apart from live hosting |
| Restore | Anytime in the dashboard |
| Extra slots | +10% of plan price per additional slot |
Example: If your plan is €12.00/month, one extra slot is €1.20/month. Two extra slots would be €2.40/month surcharge.
Backups in the dashboard
1. Open the section
Sign in to the WebRock dashboard and go to Backups (under Management).
2. Create a backup
Under New backup, start a snapshot with Create backup.
The job runs in the background; when it finishes, the snapshot appears in the list.
3. Restore
In the backup list, pick the snapshot you want and choose Restore.
Restore overwrites the current live state with that backup – double-check you’re selecting the right point in time.
When are extra slots worth it?
- You want several restore points (e.g. before and after a major update)
- You’re testing changes and need an older “safe” snapshot
- Multiple projects or frequent deployments
Without an extra slot you typically keep the latest snapshot in the free slot – older ones are replaced when you create a new backup (depending on slot usage). With multiple slots you keep a short history.
Good practice
- Back up before major changes
- Note briefly why a backup was created (e.g. “before theme switch”)
- After a restore, quickly check the site and any apps
- Ask via support or billing if you need extra slots long term
