Got a Question?

Hipposerve® Rewind - FAQs

Where are my backups stored?

All backups are encrypted and stored off-site in a separate data centre from your website or application, providing an additional layer of protection.

Can I restore my website myself?

Yes. The Hipposerve® Rewind Panel includes all the tools you need to restore your website quickly and easily.

How do I restore my website?

Restoring is as simple as a single click. Just choose the date and time you want to restore to and start the proces

You can view our full guide here:

Do I have to host my website with Hipposerve?

Yes. Hipposerve® Rewind is integrated into our hosting platform and is only available on Hipposerve services.

Is this only available for WordPress websites?

No. Hipposerve® Rewind works with any type of website or application, not just WordPress.

Do I still need a backup plugin on my website?

No. In fact, we recommend you do not run additional automated backup plugins, as they can impact performance, increase storage usage, and introduce potential security risks.

How often are backups taken?

Backups are performed automatically on a rolling basis, capturing changes regularly depending on your service and configuration.

How long are backups kept?

All eligible plans include a free 7-day backup. You can upgrade your retention period to 30 days, 183 days (6 months), or 365 days (12 months).

What happens if my website is very busy or changes frequently?

For high-activity websites such as eCommerce stores or applications, we offer additional database backup options to capture frequent changes and ensure more precise recovery.

What is the difference between backup and disaster recovery?

Backups allow you to restore files or data from a previous point in time. Disaster recovery restores your entire server environment, helping you recover quickly from major failures.

Can I restore individual files or just the whole site?

You can restore either individual files and folders or your entire website, depending on your needs.

Are backups guaranteed?

While Hipposerve® Rewind is designed to run reliably, backups are automated and unmanaged. This means we do not actively monitor individual backup success, completeness, or recoverability.

We recommend regularly checking your backups and performing occasional test restores to ensure they meet your requirements. You should also maintain independent copies of any critical data as part of a wider data protection strategy.

Hipposerve cannot guarantee the availability or completeness of backups in all circumstances. For full details, please refer to our Backup Terms & Conditions.
