CodeGuard Website Backup takes an initial backup of your site. During the process, you’ll be able to view real-time updates on its progress.
The initial website or database backup is a complete data retrieval of all files that CodeGuard has access to. Depending on the number of files and total size, the initial backup can take up to 72 hours.
After this first backup, future backups are differential, both in the files that are transferred and the files that are stored on your behalf. Codeguard Website Backup relies upon a queueing system and our website backup process is not unlike FedEx package pickup and delivery.
Our process is so similar, in fact, that we modeled our user experience after their process.
The four main steps of the initial backup are:
(i) process initiation
(ii) file pick up
(iii) file transit, and
(iv) final delivery.
Process initiation contains verifying the credentials and transmitting them to CodeGuard.
File pick up begins with an analysis of the file structure and creation of a git repository on our cloud. The transit process begins after the file structure has been analyzed and the list of the files to be transmitted is finalized.
