Frequently asked questions
What is the main difference between a database snapshot and a database backup?
Making a snapshot is to create a quick copy of all tables of the current website in the database, while making a database backup is to use SQL statements to export the database to an individual .sql file.

While a backup is usually used for long-term data protection.

Is it possible to download snapshots?
