Backups that live OFF your website

When your website goes down, its backup plugin goes down with it.
Ours doesn't.

BackupYourSite backs up your WordPress and PHP sites from the outside — nothing to install, nothing running on your server. Every backup is verified before it's stored, and restored with one click when things go wrong.

Why most backups fail exactly when you need them

A backup is only as good as the day you have to restore it. Here's the uncomfortable truth about the usual approaches:

Approach

What actually happens

Backup plugins

✗ They run inside WordPress. When your site is hacked, white-screened, or your host suspends the account, the plugin can't run — and often the backups were stored on the same server that just failed. They also compete with your visitors for PHP memory and can time out silently on large sites.

Web host backups

✗ Stored on the same infrastructure as your site, on the host's schedule, with the host's retention. When the server has the problem, the backup has the problem. Restores go through support tickets, not one click.

Manual backups

✗ Honest question: when did you last actually run one? Manual backups don't happen on the night before the disaster. And an untested archive on your laptop is a hope, not a backup.

BackupYourSite

✓ We connect to your server over SSH from the outside, stream the files and database straight to independent offsite storage, verify the archives before they're kept, and restore with one click — even if your site is completely down. Nothing is installed on your site. Nothing is written to your server's disk.

How BackupYourSite protects your site

A backup service, not a plugin. Three steps, fully automatic, every day.

Connect once

Add your site with its SSH details — or generate a key right in the dashboard and paste the public half into cPanel. WordPress database credentials are read automatically from wp-config.php; no configuration inside your site, ever.

We back up daily — and verify

At your chosen time we stream a full copy of your files and database over SSH directly to our storage. Every archive is integrity-checked and the database dump is confirmed complete before it counts as a backup. A backup that reports success is a backup that restores.

Restore in one click

Pick any stored backup and restore files, database, or both. Archives are verified again before anything on your site is touched — a corrupt set is refused with your site unchanged. Every restore is double-confirmed and permanently logged.

Storage is our problem, not yours

No cloud accounts to connect, no API keys to manage, no surprise storage bills. Your backups live in encrypted, offsite storage that we deploy and operate — completely separate from your hosting, isolated per customer.

Independent offsite storage, deployed and managed by us
Each customer isolated in their own storage namespace
SSH keys and database credentials encrypted at rest
Retention cleanup runs only after a fully clean backup — a failing night can never delete your last good copy

What "safe" means here

Where backups run	Our servers, not yours
Footprint on your site	Zero — no plugin, no scripts
Written to your disk	Nothing, ever
Verification	Every archive, every night
Credentials	Encrypted at rest, never displayed back
Restore safety	Verified first; corrupt sets refused
