Recovery & backup strategies in webflow

Disasters happen, even in the digital world. Having robust recovery and backup strategies for your Webflow site is crucial to minimize downtime and data loss. Here's how you can prepare with short, clean code examples:

1. Built-in Webflow Recovery Options:

• Version history: Webflow automatically saves past versions of your site, allowing you to easily revert to previous states.
• Site export: Download your entire site at any time as a ZIP file for a complete backup.
• CMS rollback: Restore specific CMS collections to previous versions with ease.

2. Taking Recovery Further:

• External backups: Regularly export your site and CMS data to external storage like Dropbox or Google Drive for an extra layer of redundancy.
• Automated backups: Consider implementing tools like Webflow Baker or Integromat to automate site backups at regular intervals.
• Database backups: If you use custom databases like Airtable, ensure you have their backup procedures in place.

3. Clean Code Example (Webflow Baker):

JavaScript
// Use Webflow Baker to schedule automatic backups

const Baker = require('webflow-baker');

const baker = new Baker({
  apiKey: 'YOUR_BAKER_API_KEY',
  siteId: 'YOUR_WEBFLOW_SITE_ID',
});

baker.scheduleBackup({
  frequency: 'daily',
  destination: 'https://your-storage-url.com',
});

baker.backup().then(() => console.log('Backup successful!'));
