If you’re running WordPress hosting with the Enhance control panel, you already know it provides reliable incremental backups out-of-the-box. But what happens when you only need to back up or restore a single WordPress website—not the entire hosting account?
Until now, this has been a frustrating limitation, especially for agencies, resellers, and hosting providers managing multiple WordPress installations within a single hosting account. We’re excited to introduce the brand-new cPFence WordPress Backup Module, designed specifically to solve this problem, giving you unparalleled control and precision at the individual website level—all managed effortlessly from one centralized dashboard.
