Does ShieldBACKUPS Support WordPress Multisite?

Yes, ShieldBACKUPS supports WordPress Multisite. It provides full-network backups that include all subsites, themes, plugins, and media files. The backup process is automatic and requires no extra configuration—once Shield Security PRO is active, backups run for the entire network by default.

What’s Included in a Multisite Backup?

When backing up a Multisite installation, ShieldBACKUPS captures the full WordPress environment, including:

• All subsites within the network
• Shared themes and plugins
• Media files and uploads
• The complete database

This ensures that your entire Multisite setup is securely stored offsite and can be restored if needed.

Can I Back Up or Restore Individual Subsites?

Currently, ShieldBACKUPS does not support backing up or restoring individual subsites separately. If you need to restore part of your Multisite network, you must restore the entire network. This is important to keep in mind if you're looking for subsite-level control.

Is ShieldBACKUPS Right for My Multisite Setup?

ShieldBACKUPS is a good fit for users who need reliable, full-network protection without managing multiple configurations. However, if your use case requires:

• Subsite-only backups
• Subsite-specific restore options
• Independent scheduling for subsites

…then ShieldBACKUPS may not yet meet those specific needs.

However, we are exploring more granular backup features for WordPress Multisite, including subsite-level support. For now, ShieldBACKUPS offers a solid solution for full, offsite Multisite backups.
