Rewind your website to any day in the last 90.

CodeGuard takes an automatic daily backup of every file and database, keeps each version off-site and encrypted, and puts a one-click restore next to every change. A bad update stops being a crisis and becomes a five-second undo.

The daily loop

Backups that run themselves, every single day

Manual backups fail because people forget. CodeGuard removes the human from the loop entirely — connect once, and your site keeps a versioned history for as long as it exists.

Connect

Add your site once over SFTP/FTP and MySQL. CodeGuard takes a full baseline snapshot of files and databases — no plugin required. 01

Monitor daily

Every 24 hours CodeGuard walks your site and compares checksums. Unchanged files are skipped, so backups stay fast and storage stays small. 02

Alert on change

Any file added, edited or deleted triggers an email with the exact diff — so a defaced page or injected script is visible the same day. 03

Restore instantly

Pick a day, pick a scope — one file, one table or the whole site — and CodeGuard pushes it back automatically. 04

Change monitoring

See exactly what changed — line by line

CodeGuard doesn’t just store copies. It diffs every snapshot against the last one and emails you the result, so unexpected edits, injected scripts and silent plugin rewrites surface within hours instead of weeks.

Change Monitoring
What you get

Everything a real recovery plan needs

Off-site by design

Snapshots live in encrypted Amazon S3 storage, never on the server they protect. Server loss, account suspension and data-centre incidents leave your history untouched.

Files and databases together

MySQL dumps are captured in the same run as the filesystem, so a restore returns a consistent site — not code from Tuesday with orders from Friday.

Pre-update snapshots

Trigger an on-demand backup before a plugin update, theme deploy or migration, and roll back in seconds if it goes wrong.

Ransomware-resistant

Versioned, immutable copies mean an encrypted or defaced site can be rolled back to the last clean day instead of paid for.

Alerts you actually read

One concise daily email per site: what changed, how much, and a direct link to restore. No dashboards to babysit.

Portable restores

Download any snapshot as a ZIP or push it to a different host. Your backups are yours, and they aren't locked to us.

Recovery scenarios

What a bad day looks like with CodeGuard

Problem

An update breaks checkout at 9pm on a Friday.

With CodeGuard

Open yesterday’s snapshot, restore only wp-content/plugins, and checkout is live again in under three minutes — content and orders created since then are untouched.

Scope: single folder · Downtime: ~2 min

Problem

Injected code appears across your theme files.

With CodeGuard
The daily diff pinpoints the day the injection landed. Restore the last clean snapshot, then pair with SiteLock to close the entry point.
Scope: full site · Downtime: ~5 min
Problem

A contractor removes the wrong directory.

With CodeGuard
Browse the file tree of any retained day, select the folder and restore it. No support ticket, no waiting on your host’s backup queue.
Scope: file or folder · Downtime: none
Problem

Your server is gone and the account is unreachable.

With CodeGuard
Because backups are stored off-site, download the latest ZIP and deploy it to a new server — CodeGuard restores to any host, not just ours.
Scope: portable ZIP · Downtime: your call

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CodeGuard and how does it work?

CodeGuard is an automated website backup service. It connects to your site over SFTP/FTP and MySQL, takes a full baseline snapshot of your files and databases, then checks daily for changes. Only changed files are stored, so every version of your site is kept off-site and can be restored in one click.

Once every day automatically on all plans, plus unlimited on-demand snapshots you can trigger before an update or deployment. Business and Agency plans monitor twice daily.

90 days on Starter, Professional and Business (180 days on Business), and up to 365 days on Agency. Every retained day is a full restorable point in time.

Yes. Host backups usually live on the same server as your site and keep only the most recent copy. CodeGuard stores encrypted snapshots off-site in Amazon S3, keeps months of history, and can restore to any host — including one that isn’t us.

Yes. Restore one file, a folder, a database table or the entire site from any retained day, or download a ZIP of any snapshot.

No. Backups run from CodeGuard’s infrastructure on a throttled connection, typically during off-peak hours, and unchanged files are skipped entirely.

Yes. CodeGuard is platform-agnostic — it backs up files over SFTP/FTP and databases over MySQL, so WordPress, WooCommerce, Magento, Joomla, Drupal and custom PHP apps are all supported.
