Backups give you safety, but flexibility comes when you can move them across sites without friction. ORIV allows restoring to another site, a feature that lets you restore a WordPress site backup directly onto a different existing WordPress site on the same server or on a different one within your team. This is useful for cloning a production site to a staging site, recovering a site using another site’s recent backup, or replacing a broken site’s content without creating a new site from scratch. Follow this to learn how to restore a backup to another site in ORIV:

​
Step 1: Go to Your Site

Navigate to the source site in the dashboard. Open ‘Site Backup’ → ‘Previous Backups’ from the sidebar.

Now, click on the action menu on any backup. The action menu on each backup provides three restore options:
  • Restore Backup: Restore to the same site (existing behavior)
  • Restore to Another Site: Restore to a different existing WordPress site
  • Restore to New Site: Create a new site from the backup
Select the ‘Restore to Another Site’ option to proceed.

Step 2: Select the Destination Server And Site

In the modal that opens, use the Select Server dropdown to choose the target server. You can type to search by server name. Once a server is selected, the Select WordPress Site dropdown becomes active. Choose the site you want to overwrite with the backup.
