You’ve heard that CodeGuard can back up your website daily and restore it with one click.
But how exactly does it work?

Let’s lift the hood and show you what happens behind the scenes—from the moment you activate CodeGuard on your PLiKhost hosting account, to the moment it helps you recover your website in minutes.

🛠️ Step 1: Initial Backup – A Full Snapshot of Your Website

Once CodeGuard is activated, it connects to your hosting account securely via:

• SFTP / FTP for your files

• MySQL credentials for your database (optional)

It then performs a full backup of:

• Your public HTML directory (or WordPress directory)

• Theme files, media uploads, plugin folders, etc.

• Your site’s database (posts, pages, settings, users, orders, etc.)

This snapshot is encrypted and stored safely in CodeGuard’s offsite cloud storage.

✅ This becomes your “version 1”.

🔄 Step 2: Daily Monitoring and Incremental Backups

Every 24 hours, CodeGuard checks your site for changes:

• New files added?

• Any code or content modified?

• Something deleted?

If it detects a change, it creates an incremental backup—only storing what’s new or different to save space and speed things up.

💡 This means CodeGuard doesn’t back up your entire site daily—just the changes.

You can view a version history and restore any previous version instantly.

🧠 Step 3: Change Alerts and File Monitoring

If anything changes on your site (especially suspicious or sudden edits), CodeGuard notifies you via email.

This is useful for:

• Detecting malware infections

• Tracking file tampering

• Noticing accidental changes by your team

🔍 CodeGuard acts like a “security camera” for your website files.

🔁 Step 4: One-Click Restore — Full or Partial

Something goes wrong? Here’s where CodeGuard shines.

You can restore:

• Your entire website (files + database)

• A single file or folder

• Just your database (great for WordPress)

Restoration is done with one click, from your CodeGuard dashboard—no technical skills required.

🚨 Broken site? Undo it like it never happened.

🧱 Step 5: Safe & Encrypted Offsite Storage

Your backups are stored in a separate, secure cloud—not on your hosting server. That means:

• If your hosting account is hacked or corrupted, your backups are still safe

• Backups are encrypted with AES-256

• You’re protected from host-level failures or ransomware

🎯 Bonus: Works with Any Platform

CodeGuard is CMS-agnostic:

• ✅ WordPress

• ✅ Joomla

• ✅ Magento

• ✅ Custom PHP/HTML sites

• ✅ eCommerce stores

If your site runs on PLiKhost, CodeGuard can back it up—automatically.

✅ Final Thoughts

CodeGuard is more than a backup tool—it’s your automated website recovery system.

Here’s what’s happening behind the scenes:

• Daily scans of your files and database

• Smart detection of changes

• Versioned backups in secure cloud storage

• One-click recovery when things go wrong

No plugins. No cron jobs. No stress.
Just peace of mind—automated daily.
