Jetpack Vault Backup

    Hi

    I just bought Jetpack Vault Backup.

    I’m running a large WordPress installation (60GB), and the first initial backup took 8 days (!)

    This is way for than the limit of 10GB, and I will need to upgrade storage to resume making backups.

    My questions are:

    • If I purchase more space and Jetpack Vault Backup to create full backups every day, it wont even have time to complete the backup (as it takes 8 days to finish a full backup) – what happens then?
    • Does Real Time backup still works (regardless)? Does it keep track of every edit i make to the website, and can restore the website to any moment in time (when I click “Restore to this point”)? Lets say I install a plugin – can i restore the website to just before the installation? And how long will it take to restore the website to that point (8 days or instantly?).
    • Does full backups and/or real time backups take any processing power from my server (does it slow down my website)?

    I hope you can answer some of my questions. Thank you.

    Best, Jonatan

    Hi there, @jonatanharringq,

    Thanks for your questions and for posting here in the public forum – many other users would benefit for the answers below ??

    1. If you purchase additional storage, your backups will continue to be created. However, if it takes eight days for a full backup to complete, there may be difficulties in completing daily full backups. Various factors like server resources, network speed, website changes, and more can influence this. Usually, only the first backup takes a long time, and the following ones will take much less time.
    2. Real-time backups are designed to capture every change as it happens. So, even for a large site, edits and updates should be backed up in real time. If you install a plugin, you should be able to restore it just before you install it. Restoration times can depend on the size of your site and the specific changes that you’re restoring, but typically, restoring from a real-time backup would not take as long as creating a full backup.
    3. Full backups and real-time backups use server resources; VaultPress is optimised to work without significantly affecting site performance. The impact on your server can vary, though, depending on your hosting environment and configuration.

    Hope that answers your questions for now! For more detailed guidance on your specific situation, especially since we want to investigate more about the eight-days backup, it would be helpful to take a closer look at your website.
