These backups can be configured to automatically backup on a certain day of the week or every day. Individual sites can be configured with custom backup settings, which allows for differing backup settings per site. There is also a default backup settings that you can edit, allowing you to set the default option for your sites. You can also specify the number of backups that are allowed to be stored per site.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Automatic backups also count toward your hosting account\u2019s disk space. The maximum number of backups that can be stored per site is five, which helps preserve your account\u2019s storage space. When the backup limit is reached, the oldest backup will be deleted to make room for the newest backup. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more information about setting up and managing your automatic backups, see our articles:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pair.com\/support\/kb\/wordpress-automatic-backups-interface\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Find the WP Automatic Backups Interface<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pair.com\/support\/kb\/automatic-backups-for-individual-wordpress-sites\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Set Up Individual Site Backup Settings<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pair.com\/support\/kb\/automatic-wordpress-default-backup-settings\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Change Automatic WP Hosting Backups Default Settings<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">File Backups<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">File backups are an add-on feature that allows users to take backups of their files. These backups are customer accessible and, when enabled, give users access to a new file backup interface. This interface allows users to view and restore individual files from their backups. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This type of backup is ideal for fixing user errors and minor mistakes. File backups are taken once a day and stored in off-server drives. Since these backups are not stored on your server, you can decide the amount of storage space that these backups take up. The size you choose will determine the price of the backup. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the storage quota is reached, the oldest backups will be deleted in order to make room for the new backups. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If deleting the oldest backup does not free up enough space for a new backup, older backups will be deleted until there is enough room within your quota for the new backup.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is an overview of the types of WordPress hosting backups that are available on your Pair Networks&#8217; account.
