Backups: download a copy of your site
Your site is yours. Any time you want a complete copy of it, you can download one — no waiting, no asking permission, no fee.
Getting your backup
Ask the chat in the editor: "Give me a backup of my site." You'll get a download link, and clicking it saves a single zip file to your computer.
What's in the zip
- Every page of your site as a web file you can open in any browser
- All your written content — every headline, paragraph, and service description
- A list of your images and where to find them
It's a real, readable copy — not a locked-up file that only works inside heyolive.
When to grab one
- Before a big experiment. Restore points already protect you inside heyolive (see Undo and versions), but a downloaded copy is peace of mind that lives on your own computer.
- For your records. Some owners like a copy alongside their other business documents. Grab a fresh one whenever — each download reflects your site as it is right then.
- If you ever leave. We'd hate to see you go, but your content walks out the door with you. That's how it should be.
Good to know
- Downloading a backup changes nothing on your site — it's just a copy.
- There's no limit. Download one every week if it makes you happy.
- Automatic restore points still happen behind the scenes regardless — the zip is an extra layer, not your only safety net.
