THE RESULT YOU'RE WORKING TOWARD
Done means it works.
The backup is identifiable, accessible to its owner and accompanied by a documented recovery path.
Practice project: A staging copy of Harbor01 / GET READY
Before you start.
- Platform / editor
- Your existing website platform and integration tools
- Access & plan
- Authorized access to a test copy, site records and relevant accounts. Live restore, access changes and publication need owner approval.
- Starting point
- Start in a separate demo project using fictional business information.
Keep a note of the exact account, project and version you use. Work with demo data and record the expected result before making changes. Never place passwords, verification codes or private customer records in your evidence.
02 / LEARN THE TOOL
Open the official walkthrough.
Use the publisher's instructions and available screenshots to locate the current controls. Then return here for the SETLY exercise and its result checks. These links open on the publisher's website.
Source credit belongs to the named publisher. These are external references, not SETLY recordings or a claim of affiliation. Screen names and plan availability can change.
03 / PUT IT INTO PRACTICE
Your task, step by step.
Use one labelled demo record or project so you can find your work again. Finish each action before continuing; if the screen differs, consult the matching official source rather than guessing.
- 01
Step 1
Identify the website files, database, uploaded media and configuration needed for recovery. A screenshot is not a backup.
- 02
Step 2
For Wix, review Site History and duplication limits: Wix does not provide an external backup of the complete site. For a code-based website, save source files and export its database separately. Record exactly what the recovery method includes.
- 03
Step 3
Store the backup in an approved location with access appropriate to its contents. Keep credentials separate from public files.
- 04
Step 4
Open the backup inventory and verify that required components are present. Schedule a restore test rather than assuming the archive is usable.
04 / GET UNSTUCK
If something goes wrong.
Start with the likely cause
If only the theme or page HTML was exported, check whether forms, media and database content need separate recovery steps.
My screen is different from the guide
Check the product, editor, account role and selected project first. Open the credited official instructions for your version. Record the difference and pause any action whose effect you cannot verify.
The screen looks correct, but the result is missing
Inspect the saved record, published page or execution log that should prove the action. A preview, success message or draft is not always evidence that data was stored or a message was delivered. Retest with one unique demo value.
05 / PROVE THE RESULT
Check it before you call it done.
The backup is identifiable, accessible to its owner and accompanied by a documented recovery path.
Keep useful evidence
Record the test date, project/version, expected result, observed result and a non-sensitive screenshot or record reference. Mark anything you did not test as untested. Your checkmarks do not certify an untested result.
