Everest Backup

Open your WordPress dashboard, install Everest Backup, and run your first secure backup in under five minutes. Connect your Google Drive, pick a folder, and set an encryption passphrase you keep offsite. Choose what to include—database, media, themes, plugins—and exclude bulky caches. Hit Run Backup to create a compressed, encrypted archive stored remotely. Verify the archive in Drive, download a copy if needed, and save the restore key alongside your team’s credentials.

Turn that quick start into a hands-off routine. Create schedules that match how you work: nightly database snapshots for writers, weekly full copies for site owners, and monthly archives for compliance. Set retention rules so old versions rotate automatically. Incremental runs capture only changes, cutting time and bandwidth. Email alerts confirm success or flag issues. From a phone or laptop, you can view job status and kick off an on-demand backup before risky updates.

Cloning or moving a site is just as straightforward. Generate a migration package, exclude cache folders, and add a search-and-replace map for old and new URLs. On the destination, install Everest Backup, connect Drive, import the package, and follow the restore wizard. It updates links and permalinks and brings media with it. For stores, schedule a short maintenance window, run a final incremental to capture recent orders, restore, test, then switch DNS when ready. Agencies can standardize this workflow to ship projects faster and keep client data protected offsite. more
