How to Backup Elementor Website

Numerous problems can happen to an Elementor website. For instance, you could make a change that could cause the white screen of death or another error. Without knowing what is causing the problem on your website, then you can’t fix it. And sometimes the white screen of death means you can’t access the website.

Another problem is hacking. If your website is hacked, the hacker is more than likely going to destroy your work and you won’t know what changes have been made. They might try to lock you out of your website and offer you access again for a cost. Don’t do it. There is no reason why they would give you access again without demanding even more money.

Instead of starting from scratch, it is best to just go back to the last known version of the website that was working exactly how you wanted it to be.

There are two ways that you back up Elementor WordPress websites. One of the top ways is to use a Backup plugin. Some are free. All you need to do is install one of the backup WordPress plugins and then follow the instructions on how to back up the website.

Sometimes you can get access to a free plugin. The problem is that you don’t get many functions with a free plugin. You might only get one backup, which is fine until you realize there is a mistake also on the backup and you need a previous version, which the free plugin destroyed.

Another option to back up the Elementor website is to access your FTP. You can use a free FTP client like Filezilla to access the folders of your website. Then all you need to do is to download your website onto a local drive, or another online folder.

This can be a very simple and easy way to gain access to your backup. All you need to do is reload your backup to reverse changes, as long as you select the option to replace all files/documents with the same name.

The advantage of the manual option is that you can create as many backups as you like. The disadvantage is that it can take several minutes if not hours for you to download the copy and then upload the copy.

And you need to make sure that you have the right FTP credentials to gain access to your website’s files.
