Which applications types are supported?

When creating a backup job for Cloudways using Snapshooter, the system will automatically detect the databases for WordPress, Magento v2, and Laravel (Cloudways one-click installs). However, for any other CMS, you will need to set up the backup manually. Snapshooter will backup all web files, but for Cloudways one-click type apps, the database will be backed up automatically. If you are using any other type of app, you will need to set up a separate backup job for the database.

Can you restore a Single Site?

Yes! Each website on your server gets a separate database and file system backup allowing you to restore a single database or file system. You are free to select as many or as little segments of the backup to restore from using our recovery system.
