How to Create A Site Snapshot With ORIV

When managing multiple websites or frequently deploying similar site setups, repeating the same configuration steps can be time-consuming and inefficient. The Site Snapshot feature in ORIV addresses this issue by enabling you to capture a complete version of an existing site and reuse it to create new sites instantly. This ensures consistency across deployments, reduces manual effort, and speeds up the site creation process. Follow the steps to create a snapshot and use it to launch a new WordPress site in ORIV.

​

Step 1: Create a Snapshot

To begin, log in to your ORIV account and go to the source site where you want to create a snapshot. From the site dashboard, navigate to the ‘Actions’ menu and select ‘Take Snapshot’ from the dropdown list.

Create a Site Using Snapshots

After creating a snapshot, you can use it to deploy a new site without starting from scratch. The snapshot preserves your site’s configuration, structure, and settings, allowing you to replicate the same setup in just a few steps. This makes it easy to launch multiple sites, create demo environments, or test changes while maintaining consistency and saving valuable time.

​

Step 1: Access the Dashboard

Begin by logging into your ORIV account. Once logged in, navigate to your dashboard and click on the ‘New Site’ button.
