Backup
Backups in Vvveb allow you to save and restore the entire database as a single SQL file. This includes posts, products, users, orders, settings, custom fields, taxonomies, and any plugin‑defined tables. A backup represents a complete snapshot of your site’s content and configuration at a specific moment in time, making it essential for disaster recovery, migrations, and development workflows.
Regular backups protect your site from data loss caused by accidental deletion, failed updates, server issues, or security incidents. Restoring a backup returns the database to the exact state it was in when the backup was created.
Backup Storage Location
All generated backups are stored in:
storage/backups
This folder contains timestamped SQL files that can be downloaded, archived, or restored.
Because backups are stored on the same server, they should not be considered the only copy of your data. If the server fails, local backups may be lost as well.
Restoring a Backup
Restoring a backup replaces the current database with the contents of the selected SQL file. This action should be performed carefully, as it overwrites all existing data. Typical use cases include:
- Recovering from accidental deletion
- Undoing a failed update or migration
- Cloning a site for development or staging
- Moving a site to a new server
Before restoring, it is recommended to create a fresh backup of the current state.
