Why An Off-Site Backup Matters

Most Sites Are Lost To Mistakes, Not Hackers

A bad plugin update, a theme edit that breaks the layout, a developer overwriting the wrong file, an accidental delete — these end more websites than break-ins do. What they have in common is that nobody notices immediately, so by the time you look for a clean copy, the damage is already in whatever backup ran last night. Per-file version history is the difference between rolling back one change and rebuilding a site.

A Backup Stored Where The Problem Isn’t

CodeGuard keeps encrypted daily copies of your files and databases off-site, away from the server they came from. It connects over SFTP and MySQL rather than running as a plugin, so a compromised admin login or a broken plugin cannot switch your backups off or reach the archive. Encryption applies in transit and at rest.

You Get Told When Something Changes

File Change Alert Monitoring emails you when files change between backups, which is often the first sign of an injected script or an edit nobody authorized. You see exactly which files differ and can restore just those, or roll the whole site back to a specific day. Pair it with SiteLock malware scanning if you want detection and removal as well as recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CodeGuard?

CodeGuard is a fully automated website backup service that gives you complete protection against data loss and malware

Why do I need CodeGuard?

CodeGuard provides an independent offsite backup solution for your website along with daily monitoring to ensure your website is online and malware free.

How does it work?

CodeGuard takes daily automated snapshots of your website. Using these snapshots, you can restore your entire site or a specific file to an earlier version at any time.

What if I run out of storage?

Switching plans is easy! You can upgrade and increase your disk storage allowance in just a few simple clicks via our client area.

Where are backups stored?

Backups are stored on a offsite Disaster Recovery Storage System which provides market leading resiliance and redundancy for your backups.

Are the backups encrypted?

Yes, backups are stored encrypted using the AES-256 Encryption Standard.

Do you backup databases?

Yes, databases can be backed up also. Database backups are supported for MySQL and MSSQL databases.

What is File Change Alert Monitoring?

CodeGuard can monitor and notify you by email when your website changes to alert you to new threats and malware

What happens if my site gets infected?

With CodeGuard’s daily snapshots, if your website gets attacked, you can restore to a previous uninfected version at any time.

How much does CodeGuard cost?

Plans start at $2.59 a month, priced by how much storage and how many websites you need. Backups, change monitoring and one-click restore are included at every tier — restoring your own site is not treated as a paid extra.

Does CodeGuard work with WordPress and other platforms?

Yes. CodeGuard backs up files over SFTP/FTP and databases over MySQL, so it works with WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento and custom-built sites alike. It runs outside your site rather than as a plugin, which means a broken plugin or a hacked admin cannot disable your backups.

Isn’t my host’s backup enough?

Host backups are a safety net for the host’s infrastructure, not a version history for your site. They are often overwritten on a short cycle, restored only as a whole account, and stored in the same place as the thing they are protecting. An independent off-site backup with per-file history is what lets you roll back one bad change from three weeks ago. Our hosting plans include backups too — CodeGuard is the belt to that pair of braces.
