# Nexcess Managed WordPress Backup and Restore

A complete backup of your Nexcess Managed WordPress site consists of two parts: the database, which stores all your posts, pages, and settings; and the files, which include your themes, plugins, and media uploads. A reliable backup strategy is the most critical component of securing your website’s data.

The Nexcess Managed WordPress platform features a powerful, integrated backup system accessible directly from your **[sites-portal.nexcess.com](https://sites-portal.nexcess.com/)** portal. This system is designed to provide robust data protection with minimal effort:

- **Automated Daily Backups:** Your entire site is automatically backed up every 24 hours.
- **On-Demand Backups:** From the portal, you can create a full, on-demand backup at any time. This is the recommended first step before performing any significant site updates.
- **Easy Restores:** You can restore your site to any available backup point—whether automated or on-demand—directly from the portal interface.
