Backup & Recovery
Most backup tools create archives and hope for the best. BlockForge restores every backup in an isolated Docker container, loads the database, boots WordPress, and validates the site actually renders. You never have to wonder if your backups work.
The Challenge
72% of WordPress agencies discover corrupt or incomplete backups only during an actual emergency. By then, the client is watching, the deadline is now, and there is no plan B. Untested backups are the silent killer of disaster recovery plans.
Database dumps that appear valid can fail silently on restore. Charset mismatches, truncated tables, broken serialized data, and missing foreign key references all hide inside an archive that looks perfectly fine until you try to use it.
A green checkmark next to a backup file means nothing if no one has verified the restore. File-level backups can miss critical wp-config settings, .htaccess rules, or symlinked directories. A file existing is not the same as a site working.
How It Works
Every backup goes through a four-stage verification pipeline. BlockForge creates the archive, spins up an isolated Docker container, restores the full backup including database and files, boots WordPress, and validates the HTTP response. If any step fails, you are notified immediately. No manual testing, no guesswork, no surprises on the day you need to restore.

Every backup in your history carries a verification badge. At a glance, you can see which backups have been tested and confirmed restorable. No more guessing whether a three-week-old backup will work when you need it. BlockForge maintains a complete audit trail of every backup, every verification run, and every result — ready for compliance reviews or your own peace of mind.
Key Capabilities
Configure daily, weekly, or custom backup schedules per site. Backups run automatically at your chosen time with zero manual intervention. Missed backups are automatically retried.
Every backup is restored inside a clean Docker container. The database is imported, WordPress boots, and the site is validated with an HTTP request. Verification happens automatically after each backup completes.
Table structure validation, row count verification, charset consistency checks, and serialized data integrity tests. BlockForge catches database corruption that file-level checks miss entirely.
After WordPress boots in the container, BlockForge makes an HTTP request and validates the response code, page title, and content structure. A backup is only marked verified if the site actually renders.
Complete audit trail of every backup with file size, duration, verification status, and restore availability. Configurable retention policies let you keep backups for days, weeks, or months as needed.
Each site receives a backup confidence score based on verification success rate, backup frequency, and retention depth. Identify gaps in your backup coverage before they become emergencies.
