Backups
Cloupsy WordPress Cloud automatically creates daily backups of your sites hosted with us and stores them on separate Backup servers for up to 15 days. These backups are system-made and cannot be downloaded from the Cloupsy WordPress Cloud control panel nor provided to clients as compressed files.
Daily backups can only be restored to the same site for which they were initially created.
You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to regularly back up all of your Content to prevent any potential data loss. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to back up data stored on your Hosting account.
Cloupsy WordPress Cloud will exclude files carrying standard extensions for archives (tar, tar.gz, tar.bz2, zip, 7z, and rar) from the automatic backups;
Cloupsy WordPress Cloud will exclude archives created by backup plugins installed by the Client, regardless of the archive file extension from the automatic backups;
If you choose to use our Backups, please note that a backup copy may not be available for restoration upon your request due to technical reasons such as an excessive number of files in the backup, backup software failure, storage failure, or corrupted backup files. Therefore, you must keep independent backup copies of your Content in addition to those maintained by us.
We may host your account and the backups of your data in different data center locations. This means that your backups may be stored on servers in a different state, country, or continent. In case of emergencies, your backups may be restored on servers outside your data center location of choice. All applicable data protection regulations and arrangements in our DPA will be followed in case of offsite data transfer to different locations.
If the Backup service malfunctions, you must notify us through your Client Area and allow us reasonable time to resolve the issue.
In the event that you are not satisfied with the outcome of any Backup Restore, it shall be your obligation to restore your files and data from your own backup.
Cloupsy WordPress Cloud will keep backups of terminated accounts for up to 90 days (3 months) from the termination date. Terminated accounts can be restored as described in section 6.4.a.
Please be aware that our Backups are provided “as-is” and are subject to all limitations of liability set out in these Terms of Service, to the maximum extent applicable under national law, without affecting your rights as a Client.
