How to back up your site's files and data to the cloud

Why you need a copy outside your hosting

On YaDominios Cloud, every site has its own database with automatic backups, and your code lives in your GitHub repository. That protects you from a failure on our side. What it doesn't protect you from is a mistake by you or someone on your team: a file deleted by accident, a table emptied by a bad query, a lost GitHub account, or a change that went wrong when nobody remembers what it looked like before.

That's why professional teams follow the 3-2-1 rule: three copies of what matters, in two different places, with one of them away from where you work every day.

Copy	Where it lives	What it saves you from
1. The original	Your live site and your repository	Day-to-day work
2. Your computer	A folder on your machine	Rolling back quickly
3. The cloud	A private cloud, such as Kipuu	A lost, stolen, or broken computer

What to back up

1. Your site's code

This is what you publish from GitHub. On your repository page, click Code, then Download ZIP. That file is your entire site as it is today. If you built your page with AI and don't have a repository, ask the same tool you built it with for the complete files and save them.

2. Your original files

Product photos, logos, documents, videos. In your dashboard, your site's Files screen shows what's stored, how big it is, and when it was uploaded. The safest habit is to always keep the high-quality originals—the same files you uploaded—instead of relying on the smaller versions shown on the web.

3. Your database

Customers, orders, bookings, messages: everything your site stores while it runs. From your site's Database screen you can query every table. If your site has an admin area, use its export option (for example, to CSV); if not, ask whoever built your site for a regular export. Save that file with the date in its name.

4. Your domain details

A screenshot of your DNS records and a list of your domains with their expiration dates. It takes up almost no space and can save you hours if you ever switch providers.

Step by step: your backup in Kipuu

Kipuu is the private cloud we recommend at Windoce for storing and backing up files. It works on the web, on Android, and as a regular folder on Windows, and everything stays in sync.

1. Create your account. Kipuu currently offers 14 days free with 10 GB, no credit card required.
2. Make one folder per site. For example, Backup · yourbusiness.com, with three folders inside: code, files, and database.
3. Upload your first copy. Drag in your code ZIP, your originals, and your database export. Put the date in the name: code-2026-11-08.zip.
4. Let it sync on its own. On Windows, Kipuu shows up as a folder in File Explorer: anything you save there goes up to the cloud automatically. On an Android phone, you can turn on automatic camera backup for your business photos.
5. Repeat every month. And also whenever you make a big change to your site. Don't delete old copies right away: keep at least the last three.

How secure it is

According to Kipuu, files are stored encrypted in U.S. data centers, always travel over a secure connection, keep earlier versions, and links to open a file expire within minutes. You can give your team access person by person, with two-step verification and an activity log.

How to restore if something goes wrong

1. Download the copy from the date you want to recover from Kipuu.
2. If it's code, push it back to your repository: your site republishes on its own.
3. If it's files or data, upload them again from your site, or hand the export to whoever built your site.

What matters is that the copy exists before you need it. The best day to make your first backup is today.
