WordPress websites require two different types of backups because the site is made up of two separate systems:
- The database
- The files
WP Experts backs up both — on purpose, and on different schedules.
What’s Included in a Database Backup?
The database contains your site’s most frequently changing information, such as:
- Blog posts and page content
- WooCommerce orders and customer data
- Form submissions
- User accounts and logins
- Site settings and configuration
Because this data changes constantly, WP Experts performs:
Daily database backups on all plans.
What’s Included in a File Backup?
Your website files include:
- Themes and plugins
- WordPress core files
- Media uploads (images, PDFs, videos)
- Custom code and design assets
Files typically change less often, so file backups are scheduled based on plan level.
File Backup Frequency by Plan
All plans include daily database protection, plus file backup coverage:
- Essential Plan: Monthly full file backups
- Boost Plan: Biweekly full file backups
- Boss Mode Plan: Weekly full file backups
Higher tiers provide more frequent full restore points and deeper recovery history. Daily incremental changes are captured between full file snapshots.
Why This Approach Works
This strategy provides the best of both worlds:
- Daily protection for the data that changes most
- Efficient file backup snapshots for full site recovery
- Stronger restore options as you move up tiers
For active sites that publish often or generate revenue, more frequent file backups reduce risk and shorten recovery time.
Bottom Line
WP Experts performs:
- Daily database backups for every client
- Plan-based file backup schedules for complete restore protection
Boss Mode includes our most frequent full-site recovery coverage.
