How do I restore my website from a backup?

For Sites Hosted in Your Dollie Cloud



Navigate to the "Backups" section in the Site Management dashboard.
Select the backup restore point you'd like to restore from
Click restore and choose between Files + Database or File / Database only.

For External Sites connected to Dollie



Navigate to the "Backups" section in the Site Management dashboard.
Select the backup you'd like to restore from and download the backup files & database export.
Reupload the files via SFTP
Finally upload the DB export file via SFTP to the root folder of your site with your current host.
To restore the database you can ask your current host or use WP CLI (if available) to import the database. Example command

wp db import <file location>


We will add automatic restore functionality to external backups after the Backups beta phase has ended.
