FREEBackup & restore · Netchameleon Suite · Pro available

Your whole site, safe in your own cloud.

NetRestore backs up your database, media, themes and plugins to your own Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive, on a schedule you choose. If an update, a hack or a server failure breaks your site, put it back from the Backups screen in a few clicks.

Google Drive, Dropbox & OneDrive Works on shared hosting Restore in a few clicks
// Free features

Real backups, free.

A complete off-site backup and restore for one site, with no size limits and no account with us. Your backups never pass through Netchameleon.

Your own cloud storage

Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive. NetRestore can only see the files and folder it creates, nothing else in your account.

Works on shared hosting

Backups and restores run in short steps and carry on where they stopped, so big sites don’t time out.

Scheduled backups

Daily, weekly or monthly at a time you choose. Older backups are removed automatically.

Restore in a few clicks

Pick a backup and restore it. A safety copy of your current database is saved first, so you can undo it.

Checked backups

Every file gets a checksum, checked again before a restore, so a damaged download never touches your site.

Move to a new server

Install WordPress and NetRestore on the new server, connect the same storage, and NetRestore finds your backups.

Plain, open formats

Files are ordinary zips and the database is a gzipped SQL file, so you can open them without NetRestore.

Tells you if something goes wrong

An email if a backup fails or storage needs reconnecting. No nagging, no upgrade pop-ups.

PRONetRestore Pro

Backups for sites that never stand still.

NetRestore Pro is an add-on to the free plugin. It adds incremental and hourly backups, a backup before every update, encryption, partial restores and moving a site to a new address. It adds to the same screens; there’s nothing to switch over.

  • Hourly backupsEvery hour, 4, 8 or 12 hours, plus a separate database-only schedule, so a shop never loses more than an hour of orders.
  • Incremental backupsAfter a full backup, only new and changed files are saved. Much faster and smaller for sites with lots of media.
  • Backup before updatesA quick backup before WordPress, a plugin or a theme updates, including automatic updates.
  • EncryptionAES-256 encryption with your own password before backups leave your server. Nobody else can read them.
  • Partial restoresRestore just the database, the media, the plugins, or one plugin or theme.
  • Move a siteCopy a site to a new address. Every link, image and setting is changed to the new address for you.
  • Several places at onceSend each backup to Google Drive and Dropbox, or any mix, so one account going wrong isn’t a disaster.

// Questions

Good to know.

Where are my backups stored?

In your own Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive, in a folder NetRestore creates. They go straight from your site to your storage and never pass through Netchameleon. You can also keep a copy on your server.

How do I connect my storage?

On the Storage tab. For now you connect with your own Google, Dropbox or Microsoft app, and the tab walks you through it step by step. One-click connect buttons are coming in an update.

Does a backup include my orders and customers?

Yes. The database backup includes everything in it: orders, customers, posts, pages, users and settings. A restore puts all of it back to the moment of the backup, so anything that happened after that isn’t in it.

Do I need the free plugin for Pro?

Yes. NetRestore Pro is an add-on: install free NetRestore first, then Pro adds its features to the same screens.

Is the free version really free?

Yes. The free plugin has no visitor limits, no licence key and no account, and nothing in it will be taken away. Pro adds extras on top.

What happens when my Pro licence runs out?

Pro keeps working. Your licence key gives you one-click updates and support for a year; renew it when you want new versions.

Does it work with the other Net plugins?

Yes. Every Net plugin folds into one Netchameleon menu in your dashboard, and they share data where it helps: forms feed bookings, polls feed mailing lists, and NetCookies lists the cookies the others set.
