The Backup Manager in the Website Builder manages the backups for the entire website and for the Collections. Both backups are linked to each other. If you are working on a website, an automatic backup is created every 5-10 minutes. If you want to save a very specific version of the website, you can also create and name manual backups.

A deletion process is triggered at the end of the day.

Backups are made:

• ...the last backup of an hour from the last 24 hours
• ...the last backup of a day of the last 7 days
• ...the last backup of a week of the last 52 weeks

Further information on the general backup function can be found in the Backup Manager help article.
You can also find more information about the export function in the general help article on the Collection.

Restore a Collection backup

A backup of your collections is created automatically with every automated or manual backup of your website. When you restore a backup, you can choose which parts to restore, so partial restores are possible.

How to restore

1. Click More and select Backups to open the Backup Manager.
   
2. Find the backup you want and click Restore.
3. Choose what you want to restore:
   
   • Website: All pages and subpages with their layout, content and design settings, plus the styles of the collection listings and the individual page layouts of the collections.
   • Collections: Everything in the Collections Manager, including the collection content and the data fields.
4. Click Okay and wait until the restore is finished. Don’t close the browser tab while it’s running.

Good to know

• If you restore only a collection, your website and your other collections stay untouched.
• Restoring an old backup won’t delete collections that didn’t exist yet when the backup was made. If you added a new collection after the backup was created, it stays as it is. Only the collection items and the number of items get restored.
