<h2>Security for WooCommerce:</h2>
<p>Fraudsters often use VPNs and proxies to hide their identities, putting eCommerce businesses at risk. <strong data-start="102" data-end="130">Security for WooCommerce</strong> helps you detect and block high-risk transactions by identifying masked locations and restricting purchases from countries you don’t sell to. While it strengthens your store’s security, it does not protect against velocity attacks. For advanced fraud prevention, check out <a href="//woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-anti-fraud/" rel="noopener" data-start="404" data-end="431"> Anti-Fraud for Woocommerce</a>.</p>
<h2><strong>Key Features</strong></h2>

<h3><strong>Restrict Sales to a Single Country</strong></h3>
<p>If your business operates domestically, you can limit sales to a single country to focus on your target market and block unwanted traffic from other regions.</p>

<h3><strong>Manually Allow or Block Individual IP Addresses</strong></h3>
<p>With<strong> Security for WooCommerce,</strong> you can manually manage IP access by blocking suspicious users or allowing trusted ones. Add problematic IPs to the Blacklist to prevent fraud, or Whitelist trusted users like admins or virtual assistants for seamless access. This ensures secure, controlled access while protecting your store.<img class="alignnone wp-image-18734004756439" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/RandomIps.webp?w=896" alt="restrict access to cart at checkout" width="693" height="390" /><br />

<h2 class="wccom-bundle-section-header-title" style="text-align: left">How do I back up my WooCommerce store?</h2>
<p>Good news, it’s now fast and <em>incredibly</em> easy to make backups of your WooCommerce store and keep all of your orders safe. <a href="https://woocommerce.com/posts/how-to-easily-backup-and-restore-woocommerce/">Read on</a><strong>.</strong></p>
<h2>Why do I need backups?</h2>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://jetpack.com/2020/03/06/wordpress-website-backups-101/">Website backups 101</a></li>
<li><a href="https://jetpack.com/2019/12/04/six-common-ways-wordpress-users-break-their-websites/">Six ways people break their sites</a></li>

</ul>
<h2>Doesn’t my host already have backups?</h2>
<p>Most hosts have some sort of backup. But they are often infrequent and difficult to restore. If your site goes down, you need access to your backups. If they’re stored on your hosting platform (or your hard drive!), and your files are compromised, your database backup could be compromised too.</p>
<p>Jetpack’s off-site backup storage allows you to restore a clean version of your website even if you can’t log in. When you rely solely on your host’s built-in backups, you’re putting all your eggs in one basket. Here is <a href="https://jetpack.com/2017/07/06/wordpress-support-hosting-mistakes/">one story from a Jetpack customer</a> of what can happen. Without a third-party backup that copies your files off-site, your website could be at risk. One false move by you or your host could compromise your web files or delete them entirely.</p>
<h2>How do I create a WordPress backup for my site?</h2>
<p>If you don’t have Backups as part of your Jetpack plan, go to your WordPress admin dashboard and then go to <strong>Jetpack > Dashboard > Plans</strong>.</p>
<p>As soon as you purchase VaultPress Backup, it will be activated, and the first backup will be completed. There are barely any settings to configure, and you don’t need coding experience.</p>
<p>You’ll know your WordPress backup has been created if you see a <strong>Backup complete</strong> event in the activity log.</p>
<p>By clicking the three-dot ellipsis to the right of the description, you can see the download and restore options.</p>
<h2>Don’t see your WordPress backup in the activity log?</h2>
<p>If you notice that backups are not being saved yet, update your <a href="https://jetpack.com/support/ssh-sftp-and-ftp-credentials/">site credentials</a>. Go to <strong>Manage > Settings > Jetpack</strong>. You should see a form that allows you to add your site credentials.</p>
<p>If Jetpack cannot make contact with your site and it’s not able to create backups, you’ll receive an email after two failed attempts.</p>
<h2>Can I use VaultPress Backup to migrate my website to a different host?</h2>
<p>Yes! VaultPress Backup is also a WordPress migration plugin, so you can migrate your site to a new WordPress install on any server. This is helpful if you decide to move to a new host. For more details, visit <a href="https://jetpack.com/support/cloning/">the support page</a>.</p>
<h2>Can VaultPress Backup be used to migrate to a different address?</h2>
<p>Yes, just enter the server credentials for the new site address. These are the credentials that Jetpack will use to clone your site from your current host to your new host. If you’re confused about what these credentials are, how they work, or why we need them, you can read more about that in our <a href="https://jetpack.com/support/ssh-sftp-and-ftp-credentials/">SSH, SFTP, FTP Credentials guide</a>.</p>
<h2>Does VaultPress Backup take care of all the path changes with an address migration?</h2>
<p>Yes. VaultPress Backup is a WordPress migration plugin, so just enter the destination WordPress path. This is the path in which your site’s files are stored relative to where the SSH, SFTP or FTP user has access. For more details, visit <a href="https://jetpack.com/support/cloning/">the support page</a>.</p>
<h2>Can I clone my website with VaultPress Backup?</h2>
<p>Yes! VaultPress Backup lets you copy your site to any server. This is helpful if you want to create a copy of your site on your current server to use for testing and development. For more details, visit <a href="https://jetpack.com/support/cloning/">the support page</a>.</p>
<h2>Can I use Jetpack to back up my database?</h2>
<p>Yes, the VaultPress Backup plugin backs up your WordPress database. Specifically, any tables that begin with your WordPress table prefix and also have a unique key or primary key. For more details, visit <a href="https://jetpack.com/support/backup/">the support page</a>.</p>
<h2>Can I use Jetpack to back up my files?</h2>
<p>Yes, the VaultPress Backup plugin backs up your WordPress database. This includes all files in the <code>plugins</code>, <code>mu-plugins</code>, <code>themes</code>, and <code>uploads</code> directories. For more details, visit <a href="https://jetpack.com/support/backup/">the support page</a>.</p>
<h2>Can I use Jetpack to back up my site without plugins?</h2>
<p>Yes. We will exclude any directory containing a file named <code>.donotbackup</code>. If need be, you can create these files yourself to intentionally prevent certain directories from being backed up. If a directory named <code>donotbackup</code> is added, we will also exclude all files inside that directory. For more details, visit <a href="https://jetpack.com/support/backup/">the support page</a>.</p>
<h2>Can VaultPress Backup save files to Google Drive or Dropbox?</h2>
<p>VaultPress Backup doesn’t support saving files directly onto Google Drive or Dropbox. We securely store your backups on our servers, saved redundantly in multiple locations around the globe. If you’d like to retain a copy, you can download your backup and upload to a third-party site.</p>
<h2>Can I download my backups?</h2>
<p>Yes. To download your backup, open your <a href="https://jetpack.com/support/activity-log/">activity log</a>. Use the filters to find the event that you’d like to use, then click the ellipsis (three dots) icon, and choose Download backup. For more details, visit <a href="https://jetpack.com/support/restoring-with-jetpack-backup/">the support page</a>.</p>
<h2>Does VaultPress Backup support WordPress multisite?</h2>
<p>No, VaultPress Backup does not currently support WordPress multisite</p>
<h2>Does VaultPress Backup support split site or split home URLs?</h2>
<p>No, VaultPress Backup does not currently support split site or split home URLs.</p>
<h2>Is there a backup size limit?</h2>
<p>No. With VaultPress Backup, there is no backup size limit. If a backup takes you over the limit for your total storage, we will warn you before making any changes to your service.</p>
