WordPress Backups & Disaster Recovery

Automated off-site backups, from daily to every change, with a second copy at another company. Roll back to any day in the last 90.

WordPress backups are complete copies of your entire site: database, files, content, configuration, everything, stored off-site so recovery is possible if something goes wrong. Disaster recovery is the process of restoring your site quickly when data loss, hacks, or crashes occur. NoDrama's automated backups are kept for 90 days, with a second copy held by another company, keeping downtime and data loss to a minimum when recovery is needed.

Why Backup Frequency Matters

Backup frequency matters because a restore can only bring a site back to the moment the last backup was taken. Anything added after it, such as orders, form entries, posts or edits, is not in the copy, and problems like a bad update, a deleted page or a corrupted database are often found days after they happen.
With infrequent backups, even a successful restore loses whatever changed since the last copy, which on a daily schedule can be a full day of orders or content. With short retention, a problem found weeks later may have no clean copy left, and a backup that has never been tested may not restore at all.
NoDrama runs automated backups daily, every 12 hours or on every change depending on plan, stores every copy off-site with a second copy at another company, keeps 90 days of history, and tests a real restore on a schedule, so a recovery goes back to a known-good point.
With NoDrama, a bad update, a hack or an accidental deletion is rolled back to the day you choose in the last 90, within your plan's response time. The data lost is limited to whatever changed since the last backup.

What’s Included in WordPress Backups & Disaster Recovery

Comprehensive WordPress backup protection includes automated backup frequency, secure off-site storage, extended retention, and restores within your plan's response time.

Automated Backups (Daily to Every Change)

Complete WordPress site backups run automatically daily (The Standard), every 12 hours (The Higher Standard), or on every change (The Highest Standard). Each backup captures your entire database, all files (themes, plugins, uploads, configuration), and everything needed for complete restoration. More frequent backups mean less potential data loss.

Backup Storage (Off-Site)

Backups are stored off-site, with a second copy held by another company. Off-site storage protects against server hacks, ransomware, natural disasters, and hardware failures. Your backups remain safe even if your server is completely compromised.

Backup Retention

Every plan keeps 90 days of backups. That lets you recover from incidents discovered long after they occur, such as slow-spreading malware, accidental deletions, or data corruption found weeks later. Roll back to any day in the last 90.

Roll Back to Any Day

When you need to restore, we bring back your entire site: database, files, content, everything. You choose which day in the last 90 to roll back to.

Real Restore Tests

We test a real restore once a year, twice a year, or every 3 months, depending on your plan. Backups are restored to an isolated environment, the data is checked, and anything that fails is flagged and investigated.

Before-and-After Checks (Put Back If Anything Breaks)

Every update or plugin change runs on your live site with your key pages photographed before and after, so anything that shifts is caught straight away. If anything goes wrong, we put it back.

Backups are included on every plan. Each one is stored off-site with a second copy at another company, so you can roll back to any day in the last 90.

The Higher Standard backs up every 12 hours and tests twice a year. The Highest Standard backs up on every change and tests every three months.
