# Managing backups in Enhance

Enhance includes a built-in incremental backup system that protects your websites, databases, and email automatically.

## How backups work

Backups on Enhance are **incremental** — after the first full snapshot, only changes are stored. This makes backups fast, frequent, and storage-efficient. Snapshots are taken automatically on a regular schedule.

## Viewing available backups

1. Log in to your Enhance control panel.
2. Select the website you want to manage.
3. In the left sidebar, click **Backups**.

You'll see a list of available snapshots with their dates.

## Restoring a full website

1. In the **Backups** section, find the snapshot you want.
2. Click **Restore**.
3. Confirm the restore.

<Warning>
  A full restore replaces the website's current files and database with the versions in the snapshot. Any changes made after the snapshot date will be lost.
</Warning>

## Granular restore

One of Enhance's strongest features is granular restore — you can restore individual items instead of the whole site:

* **Individual files or folders** — browse the snapshot's file tree and restore just what you need.
* **A single database** — restore the database without touching files.
* **A single email account** — restore a mailbox without affecting the website.

This is ideal when you've accidentally deleted one file or a plugin update broke the database, but the rest of the site is fine.

## Best practices

* Check that a recent snapshot exists before major updates (WordPress core updates, theme changes, bulk imports).
* For business-critical sites, consider also keeping an off-server copy: download important files periodically or use an S3-compatible backup integration.
* Test a restore occasionally so you know the process before you need it urgently.

If you need a snapshot from a date no longer listed, contact support and we'll check whether it can be recovered.
