How do I restore my website from a backup?

Last Updated: November 14, 2024 3:32 PM

For Sites Hosted in Your Dollie Cloud

  • Navigate to the "Backups" section in the Site Management dashboard.
  • Select the backup restore point you'd like to restore from
  • Click restore and choose between Files + Database or File / Database only.

For External Sites connected to Dollie

  • Navigate to the "Backups" section in the Site Management dashboard.
  • Select the backup you'd like to restore from and download the backup files & database export.
  • Reupload the files via SFTP
  • Finally upload the DB export file via SFTP to the root folder of your site with your current host.
  • To restore the database you can ask your current host or use WP CLI (if available) to import the database. Example command
wp db import <file location>

| We will add automatic restore functionality to external backups after the Backups beta phase has ended.
