Making the Most of Your 30-Day Backups 

So, you’ve got 30 days of backup retention—now what? Let’s make sure you actually know how to use it before you find yourself frantically Googling “How to restore my website after I broke everything.” (It happens. No judgment.)

How to Restore a Backup in HighLevel   

1️⃣ Head over to your HighLevel dashboard. Click on Sites → WordPress to find your hosted sites.
2️⃣ Select your WordPress site. This is the one that’s acting up (or the one you regret making changes to).
3️⃣ Go to the Backups tab. Here, you’ll see a glorious list of backups from the last 30 days.
4️⃣ Pick a date. Choose a backup from before things went south.
5️⃣ Click Restore. Take a deep breath. Let HighLevel work its magic.

Pro Tips to Keep Your Site (and Sanity) Safe   

✅ Schedule regular backups. Even though HighLevel does this automatically, it’s always good practice to keep your own copies.
✅ Before major updates, note the last good backup. Just in case you need to roll back quickly.
✅ Test updates on a staging site first. Because “Let’s see what happens” is not a real strategy.

There you go! Crisis averted.

Why This Update is a Big Deal for Your Business 

Let’s be real—running an agency or online business isn’t exactly smooth sailing. Websites break, plugins misbehave, and sometimes, an innocent “Let’s tweak this” turns into “Why is my homepage blank?!” That’s where this 30-day backup retention saves the day.

Real-World Scenarios Where This Update Saves You   

Client Requests a ‘Small’ Change (That Goes Wrong)
A client asks you to update their site. You make a few edits, hit save, and—poof!—something breaks. Instead of scrambling, you restore last week’s backup in minutes and look like a hero.

An Update Messes Up Your Site
You update a plugin or theme, and suddenly, your beautiful website looks like it lost a fight with a toddler. With 30 days of backups, just roll back to a working version. No stress. No tears.

Cyber Gremlins Attack
Maybe it’s a hacker. Maybe it’s a corrupted file. Either way, instead of starting from scratch, you just restore your site from a clean backup. Easy.

At the end of the day, this update isn’t just about backups—it’s about keeping your business running without interruptions. Because nobody has time for website drama.

Give It a Spin and Sleep Better at Night 

There you have it—one less thing to worry about in your business. Whether you’re managing client sites, running your own online empire, or just prone to the occasional “oops” moment, HighLevel’s extended 30-day backup retention has your back. Literally.

So go ahead—test it out. Click around. Break something just to see how easy it is to restore (okay, maybe don’t do that on a live site). But seriously, knowing you’ve got a whole month’s worth of backups ready to go? That’s peace of mind you can’t put a price on.
