Backing up your website

Download everything as a file whenever you like, or have it pushed to your own Google Drive automatically.

If your plan includes it, Backup gives you a full copy of your website whenever you want one, or on a schedule you set — a real download of your own content, not something that only exists inside VPress.

What's in it

A backup is a single file containing every post and page, your site settings, your navigation and any landing page you've built, and every media file's actual bytes — not just a link to where it's stored, since a real backup has to be useful even if VPress itself is ever unreachable.

Downloading one yourself

Press Download backup under Backup at any time to build one on the spot and save it to your computer.

Sending them to your own Google Drive

Connect your Google Drive and choose daily or weekly, and a fresh backup is uploaded to a “VPress Backups” folder there on that schedule automatically — nothing to remember. Only the seven most recent are kept there; older ones are cleared out as new ones arrive. VPress only ever touches the files it creates in that one folder, never anything else in your Drive.
