# Site Backups In ORIV

> In ORIV Site Backups include full site backups of your database and files backups with the option to schedule daily backups.

Site backups protect your data from accidental deletion, server issues, and cyberattacks. Regular backups help you restore your site quickly and reduce downtime.

With ORIV, you get two types of backup options:

* **Site Backup:**\
  Supports both **Remote Backup** ([**DigitalOcean**](https://www.digitalocean.com/), [**Vultr**](https://www.vultr.com/), S3-compatible providers) and **Local Backup** (stored on the same server). You can choose **full** or **incremental** backups.
* **Server Backup:**\
  Available only for **ORIV Managed Servers** with an **additional 20% cost**. This backup covers the entire server instead of individual sites.

ORIV also offers full backup and **[incremental backup](https://oriv.cloud/docs/incremental-backup-in-oriv/)** options for each. Follow this guide to learn how to configure site backups in ORIV.

## **Step 1: Open Storage Provider Page**

Before getting started, you need to select a storage provider. To do that, visit your ORIV hosting dashboard and navigate to **Backup → Backup Settings**.

> \[!NOTE]
> Precisa de ajuda visual para esta etapa? Entre em contato com o nosso suporte em **[support@oriv.cloud](mailto:support@oriv.cloud)**.

Hit the Storage Name to manage the Object Storage. Here, you will need to open the Buckets tab and create a new bucket.

> \[!NOTE]
> Precisa de ajuda visual para esta etapa? Entre em contato com o nosso suporte em **[support@oriv.cloud](mailto:support@oriv.cloud)**.

To create a new bucket, set a ‘**Bucket Name**‘ and hit the ‘**Create Bucket**‘ button at the bottom of the page.

> \[!NOTE]
> Precisa de ajuda visual para esta etapa? Entre em contato com o nosso suporte em **[support@oriv.cloud](mailto:support@oriv.cloud)**.

After providing the necessary information, hit the ‘**Submit**’ button, the Vultr Object Storage will be integrated into ORIV.

> \[!NOTE]
> Precisa de ajuda visual para esta etapa? Entre em contato com o nosso suporte em **[support@oriv.cloud](mailto:support@oriv.cloud)**.

\*\[\****Note:*** *Please make sure you have a bucket created before trying to integrate it into ORIV.]*

## **Step 3: Configure Site Backup Setting**

Once the integration process is done, you can start backing up your site. As you can integrate more than one storage provider, choose one if you have multiple. For the Remote Backup Settings, choose your Bucket.

> \[!NOTE]
> Precisa de ajuda visual para esta etapa? Entre em contato com o nosso suporte em **[support@oriv.cloud](mailto:support@oriv.cloud)**.

Next you will get two options, **‘Database Backup’** and **‘Files Backup’**. Enable the any one of keep the both enabled to take the backup of the database and files as your preferences.

> \[!NOTE]
> Precisa de ajuda visual para esta etapa? Entre em contato com o nosso suporte em **[support@oriv.cloud](mailto:support@oriv.cloud)**.

Now, there may be files or folders that you do not want to include in your file backups. You can exclude those files from backing up. You will find the box below the ‘**File Backup**’ field, as shown below.

For example, if you’re using any media plugin to offload your Media Library to [**Amazon S3**](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/)and have versioning enabled on your bucket, there’s really no reason to include those files in your daily backups. In this case, excluding your uploads folder could be a good choice. To add just write the path into the **‘Exclude Paths’** section:

```
/files/wp-content/uploads
```

> \[!NOTE]
> Precisa de ajuda visual para esta etapa? Entre em contato com o nosso suporte em **[support@oriv.cloud](mailto:support@oriv.cloud)**.

Similarly, if you’re using Composer to manage PHP dependencies, it’s likely that you don’t want to include the root vendor directory in your backups.

```
/files/vendor
```

There are more paths like below, that you can exclude from the backup list.

```
wp-admin
wp-includes
wp-content/cache
wp-content/plugins
wp-content/updraft
```

You can just copy and paste the paths here and you are good to go with excluding specific paths that you do not want to include in the backup.

You can also choose to schedule ‘**Automatic Backup’** and ‘**Automatic Delete**’. For automatic backup, you need to select backup frequency. On the other hand, you can set a value for how many days after a backup will be deleted automatically.

## Step 4: Take Your Backup

To take a new backup of your site or to view previous backups, go to **Backup → Previous Backups.** You will see two options: Local Backup and Remote Backup for your website.

You can also view an overview of the Backup Summary and Backup Status Overview for both local and remote backups. This includes details such as Total Backup Size, File Backup Size, Database Backup Size, Backup Status, Next Backup, and more.

> \[!NOTE]
> Precisa de ajuda visual para esta etapa? Entre em contato com o nosso suporte em **[support@oriv.cloud](mailto:support@oriv.cloud)**.

Go to the ‘Remote Backup’ or ‘Local Backup’ tab based on your preference, and click the ‘Backup Now’ button, then choose the ‘Full Backup’ or ‘Incremental Backup’  to create an instant backup of your site.

> \[!NOTE]
> Precisa de ajuda visual para esta etapa? Entre em contato com o nosso suporte em **[support@oriv.cloud](mailto:support@oriv.cloud)**.

ORIV will take a few seconds to create a backup of your site. It will export a compressed version of your current site and an SQL file in your bucket, which can be restored automatically from ORIV or downloaded from your storage provider later.

Once done, you can see your backups here with the details and options. You can use the **‘Restore’** button to restore your site with a backup version. You can also check the backup size , date of the backup and destination at a glance of each of the backup.***Note:*** *While deleting a site you will be asked whether you want to remove Local Backups too. We are not removing Remote Backups now while deleting a site.*

> \[!NOTE]
> Precisa de ajuda visual para esta etapa? Entre em contato com o nosso suporte em **[support@oriv.cloud](mailto:support@oriv.cloud)**.

You can also add a custom note to your site backups to help keep track of why each backup was taken or to add quick notes that make it easier to find the right version when you need it most.

Simply click on the **‘Note’** section of each backup and enter your note. The note will be saved and updated instantly.

> \[!NOTE]
> Precisa de ajuda visual para esta etapa? Entre em contato com o nosso suporte em **[support@oriv.cloud](mailto:support@oriv.cloud)**.

You can also click the **‘Delete’** button to remove your backups from ORIV. To delete multiple backups, select the checkboxes beside each backup and then click Delete.

*Note: The latest full backup cannot be deleted because it is required to create a new incremental backup.*

> \[!NOTE]
> Precisa de ajuda visual para esta etapa? Entre em contato com o nosso suporte em **[support@oriv.cloud](mailto:support@oriv.cloud)**.

That is how easily you can create site backups with ORIV.Site Backup and restore both now support optional file-only, database-only, or full backups instead of always backing up both.

## **Frequently Asked Questions**

### **How to Download Local Site Backup?**

Local backups are stored on the server in the following directory:

```
/root/.backup
```

These backups cannot be accessed through HTTP requests, so they are not available for direct download from the ORIV app.

To download a local site backup, you must manually access the server using SFTP and retrieve the backup files from the directory above.
