Real Time Backup
WordPress.com includes Jetpack VaultPress Backup with all Business and Commerce plans, so your site is automatically backed up in real time—no manual setup or extra plugins needed. Every change is saved, and one-click restore options make it easy to recover your site if something goes wrong.
This feature is available on sites with the WordPress.com Business or Commerce plan.
Use the resources below to learn how to access your backups, restore your site, or manually download a backup file.
Back up and restore your website
Backups are saved at least once per day, typically 24 hours after the previous backup. Backups can also occur multiple times in a single day if many changes are being made to the site.
Download a backup of your site
Learn how to download a full backup of your site, including your files and database. This can be useful for storing a local copy or migrating your site.
Manually restore your site from a Jetpack backup
It is often possible to restore your site with a click of a button using Jetpack VaultPress Backup, but there may come a time when you need to manually restore a version of your site using a backup file you have previously downloaded.
