* Depending on the size of your website's content and database, this process may only take a few moments. You can either visit this page later or wait a few moments and then refresh the page.
* When your backup is ready, you'll find it listed here with several options. You can download it to your computer for safekeeping, restore a backup if needed, or delete backups.
* Please note that all sites can have up to three manual Cloud Backups at a time, and all Cloud Backups are automatically removed after 24 hours. They do not count toward your storage limits.
