Presslabs backup policy
Doing backups is a must these days. This is why here at Presslabs we have a multi-layered backup policy, trying to minimise data loss down to zero in case of any event.
1. Site code
By site code we mean all the files that stay in WordPress wp-content folder except uploads and upgrades folders. This means all the theme and plugin files, together will all the files that are stored in the root folder of your site, e.g. example.com/abc.html.
All these files are stored on our Git servers stack and they’re versioned after each time a file is modified, as Git commits. This makes it very easy to restore any change to any file using Git commands.
Currently the history of changes stored in the Git repo isn’t limited in time or number of commits.
2. Static files and database
Daily backups are done using Velero , an open-sourced tool to safely backup and restore data, perform disaster recovery, migrate the Kubernetes cluster resources and persistent volumes. These daily backups are kept for 30 days and are used in case of disaster recovery.
For snapshots requested by our users at any time, the Ozone Controller creates a fresh snapshot on the spot that the user can download.
