This answer covers “How to Create and Restore Backups from WordPress Manager”. Read it with the summary and confirm that the symptom and service match what you are experiencing. Available options can vary by plan and account setup.

  • Before changing anything, note what you expected, what happened and roughly when. Check whether the issue affects one page or the whole service.
  • Save the full error message and note recent changes. Hide passwords, access codes, personal data and keys before sharing screenshots or logs.
  • If a step requires administrator access, restarting services or editing server files, stop if you do not administer that server. Send support the service name, error and checks you have already made.

Prerequisites

  • Active WordPress installation registered in Anayil Panel
  • Sufficient storage allocation within the user account for compressed snapshots

Important warnings

  • Restoring a backup snapshot replaces any modifications and comments submitted after the snapshot timestamp.
  • Download essential snapshots offsite to safeguard against physical disk incidents.

Step-by-step walkthrough

1. Create restoration snapshot point

In WordPress Manager, select your site and click the Backup tab. Click Create Backup Point and input a label (e.g. Pre-Update-WooCommerce).
Pro tip: The background task builds a snapshot containing the database dump and wp-content payload.

2. Inspect snapshot table

Review the backups list displaying creation date, timestamp, archive footprint and label metadata.
Pro tip: You can download the snapshot locally or delete legacy points to reclaim disk quota.

3. 1-Click emergency rollback

If an update breaks the site, locate the prior snapshot and click Restore. The engine restores files and database state seamlessly.
bash
wp db export /home/yourdomain.com/backup_wp_manual.sql --path=/home/yourdomain.com/public_html --allow-root
Expected output:
Success: Exported to file.

Troubleshooting & Solutions

Snapshot creation failed: mysqldump error

Root cause: Corrupted transient tables or table lock during high concurrency write load.

Resolution: Run wp transient delete --all --path=/home/yourdomain.com/public_html --allow-root prior to snapshotting.

Timeout while restoring large websites (>5 GB)

Root cause: PHP max_execution_time threshold reached during archive extraction.

Resolution: Increase max_execution_time = 600 in /usr/local/lsws/lsphp82/etc/php.ini and restart lsws.

Rollback and recovery plan

If restoration encounters errors, restore the full VirtualHost snapshot via the global Backups module in Anayil Panel.
