Restore

Finally, you can restore your site back to any previous version with the click of a button.

FTP/SFTP and WordPress Source Whole Site Restore

  • Can be time consuming since we do a backup before doing the restore
  • The ‘pre-restore’ backup is necessary to get the current state of the site. Things may have changed dramatically since the last completed backup
  • The process goes like this:
    • The user selects the version to restore
    • A backup is performed using the same process as ‘Backup Again’
    • Two lists of site content are built: one of the version to be restored and one of the current state of the site
    • The difference between those two sites produces discrete operations for files and folders. These operations are placed in a queue for processing
    • The backup is downloaded (if it doesn’t already exist) and the version to be restored is checked out
    • Open a connection to the host site
    • Process the operations queue and log the results of each operation in this order: delete files, delete folders, create folders, upload files, and finally, change file permission
    • Record the statistics from the restore
    • Send email notifications

FTP/SFTP and WordPress Source Individual File Restore

  • Individual file restore happens without a ‘pre-restore’ backup
  • User can select files using a typeahead that searches the files for a particular backup version
  • Process:
    • User selects 1 - n files in the UI, which are directly added to the operations queue
    • The site repo is downloaded and the version that contained the selected files is checked out
    • Connection tested and opened using the appropriate client (FTP/SFTP)
    • The selected files are uploaded, and their permissions are set
    • Record the statistics from the restore
    • Send email notifications

MySQL Database Restore

  • This process uses the MySQL client to perform the restore
  • Process:
    • Download repo from S3
    • Checkout target restore version
    • Open connection to remote database using mysql directly or through a SSH tunnel
    • Execute the database backup file
  • Drops and recreates each table
  • Imports table data
  • Record the statistics from the restore
