We guard your site. You run your business. We guard your site.
You run your business.

Jetpack Backup is activated and your first backup is created as soon as you complete your purchase. At the top of your activity log, you will see the following prompt to add remote access / server credentials for your site. These credentials allow you to connect for backups if the Jetpack connection isn’t working and they’re also required for site restores.

Once backups start, you’ll see a “Backup complete” event in your activity log, either daily or when you make changes, and know that your WordPress site is securely backed up. Click the ellipsis (three dots) to the right of the event will show available restore and download options.

With this WordPress backup plugin, you can revert changes or restore an earlier version of your site if you need to - regardless of whether it’s because your WordPress security scan has picked up a malicious threat, or if you’ve simply been messing around with your site’s design. No ifs, ands, or uh-ohs about it.

Threats might include:

• Changes to Core WordPress files - generally, these files should never be changed, so your WordPress security scan will automatically flag any changes as suspicious.
• Outdated or insecure plugins - Plugins that have known security vulnerabilities will be detected by Jetpack Scan. If there’s a newer version that has patched the threat, you can update the plugin with one click. If there is no newer version with a fix, we allow you to delete the plugin from your site.
• Other Vulnerabilities - Web-based shells give an attacker full access to your server — allowing them to execute malicious code, delete files, make changes to your database, and many more dangerous things. Shells are usually found in files, so our WordPress vulnerability scanner will pick them up so they can be removed by deleting any infected files from your server and replacing them with a clean version from your backup.

The WordPress vulnerability scanner page provides an at-a-glance reference of the current state of the site. It will either show that the site is looking great, or it will list the currently active threats.

Besides backups, malware scanning, and comment spam protection, Jetpack Security includes:

• Brute force attack protection - We automatically block attempts to hack your site from millions of known malicious attackers.
• Downtime monitoring - We’ll let you know instantly if your site goes down, so you can find out before your customers do.
• Activity log - Understand every site change and take the guesswork out of site management and repair.
• Secure authentication - Sign in to WordPress sites quickly and securely, and add optional two-factor authentication.

Security is important to consider for any site or online business, including WordPress. If your site is hacked it can cause serious damage to your income and your business' reputation.

Hackers can manipulate your website's data, steal information from you or your users (including passwords), install and execute malicious code, and even distribute the malicious code between your users.
