Scheduled, checked backups of your websites and databases, restored in a click
Scheduled backups of your websites and MySQL databases, made by our own agent on your Linux server and kept in our vault, a folder of yours or another server. Every backup is checked, can be encrypted with your own key, and is restored in a click.
Most people find out their backups were broken on the day they need them. Our Backups app puts a small agent on your Linux server that copies your website folders and MySQL or MariaDB databases on a schedule, checks every copy, and keeps it where you choose.
You run it all from your browser: see what was found on the server, pick what to keep, watch each run and restore with a click. Database passwords never leave your server.
Install the agent with one command. It finds your sites and databases and offers a nightly job you can start right away.
Back up hourly, daily, weekly or monthly. Choose a full copy every time, or Smart mode: one full copy a week plus daily changes, so restores never need a long chain.
Every archive is tested after it is written and fingerprinted, and the fingerprint is checked again where it lands. Missed runs and servers that stop checking in are flagged.
Turn on encryption per job. The key lives only on your server, so encrypted backups in our storage are unreadable to us, and a printable recovery kit helps you keep it safe.
Send backups to WAI Storage, a folder on your server or another server over SSH. Keep the last few runs plus daily, weekly and monthly copies, and old ones are cleaned up for you.
Restore files into a new folder or a database into a new database, or over the original if you are sure. You can also download any copy, or let the Backups for Windows app copy them to your PC.

New uploads to WAI Storage stop with a clear message and a link to upgrade. You can also keep backups in a folder on your server or on another server over SSH, which do not use WAI Storage.
If you turn on encryption, no. The key exists only on your server. That also means if you lose the key, the backups cannot be opened, so the app asks you to save it first.
Linux servers with MySQL or MariaDB. The agent uses tools almost every Linux server already has. Shared hosting without shell access and S3-style storage are not supported yet.
In one data centre today, on our own servers. For an extra copy somewhere else, add a second job to another server over SSH or use the Windows app.
