<p>Thanks, Boone. The backup seems to be working, but I am puzzled about how the restore would work. According to [this article](<a class="external" href="https://blog.vaultpress.com/2015/06/10/faqs-about-ftp-sftp-and-ssh-credentials/">https://blog.vaultpress.com/2015/06/10/faqs-about-ftp-sftp-and-ssh-credentials/</a>), it would seem that I would need (SSH) credentials into the server to do the restore. Of course, I don't have that since this is a multisite install. And, I'm not even sure if every site is stored in its own directory on the server. If that was the case, I suppose I could have access to just that directory, but I am really not sure how WordPress multisite installations are represented.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #8055: Install VaultPress plugin?https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/8055?journal_id=319162017-05-02T15:47:58ZBoone Gorgesboone@gorg.es
<ul></ul><p>We maintain systemwide backups of the entire network, so if there were a broad catastrophic event, your site woud be included in the restored backup.</p>
<p>I believe that VaultPress is able to restore your site without FTP access.

<p>In any case, if something were to happen to your site specifically, and VP were unable to restore automatically, you could provide the files to me and I could pick them apart and perform the necessary restoration.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #8055: Install VaultPress plugin?https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/8055?journal_id=319592017-05-03T13:59:38ZRaffi Khatchadourianraffi.khatchadourian@hunter.cuny.edu
