Create Manual and Local Backup

Hi
I think it would be nice to have a button in each site for a manual, instant, local backup and restore.
Sometimes we want to test plugins or themes and making one before crashing is safer.
I usually go to the table and export it but it’s not very practical.
Thanks

Hi @ridesirat -

Thank you for your request & idea - I’ll be sure to pass this along to the Local team. This sounds like it would be very helpful.

Have you made a backup using this help doc? I know you mentioned going to the table + exporting, but curious if you’ve tried this way?

Thanks!

Sam

Hi @sambrockway
Thanks a lot for such a quick reply.
Haven’t seen it, and right in front of me :slight_smile:
I’ve just tried it. Really simple.
I didn’t find a restore option after. Is there any, or do we have to import as a new site?
