Backups via the Jetpack plugin backup your site daily or after certain events in real-time. These backups are stored on WordPress.com’s servers all over the world. Using VaultPress Backups via the Jetpack plugin requires a paid VaultPress Backup plan. You can learn about our VaultPress backup plans here.
To view the current status of your backups, navigate to Jetpack → Backup in the WP Admin. This will take you to your site’s backups in your WordPress.com dashboard.
Latest Backup
When viewing your backups on WordPress.com, you’ll land on a page with the URL https://wordpress.com/backup/your-site-url.com. On that page, you can see your latest backup, and scroll through other recent backups.
If you have real-time backups, you’ll see a list of More backups from today.
You can also view your backups via the Activity Log.
