- Reliability and SLA: CodeGuard guarantees 99.9% availability SLA through data georeplication across at least three AWS Availability Zones. Data stored in Amazon S3 has 11 nines of durability (99.999999999%), minimizing the risk of data loss even in the event of major infrastructure failures.
Integration with services
CodeGuard is compatible with all major platforms. No matter which CMS you use, CodeGuard can easily back up and restore your site. It supports WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento, and more, provided that:
- Your site uses a MySQL or MS‑SQL database.
- You have FTP/SFTP access credentials.
- You can whitelist the following IP addresses: 54.236.233.46, 54.236.233.28, 54.174.91.34, 54.174.153.212, 54.174.115.171.
If you’re using WordPress and don’t meet these requirements, simply install the WordPress plugin—it doesn’t require FTP access or IP whitelisting.

Connect – set up in 5 minutes
Installation and configuration of CodeGuard is incredibly simple – even non‑technical users can do it with ease. You can choose between the WordPress plugin or FTP/SFTP access. For WordPress, just install the plugin and paste your one‑time, unique license key into the license field. CodeGuard will handle the rest for you. If you prefer FTP/SFTP, simply provide your login credentials and the IP address. (For enhanced security, we recommend using SFTP.)
Backups – fully automated
Once you provide your website and database details, CodeGuard automatically starts creating backups. By default, they’re retained for 90 days, but you can adjust both the frequency and retention period. The best part is that CodeGuard saves space by performing differential backups – only the changed versions are stored, eliminating duplicates.
Monitoring – track changes and eliminate malware.
The moment anything on your site is modified, CodeGuard detects it and notifies you. Whether it’s a diff analysis between backups or a scan for malware and malicious code, CodeGuard gives you insight and the tools you need to resolve the issue quickly.
Restore – fix your site with one click
Once backups are created, restoring your site is just a few clicks away. Select the desired version and click “Restore.” In seconds, your website will revert to the chosen state. You can:
- Restore all files.
- Restore specific files.
- Download the backup as a ZIP file.

6 Reasons why CodeGuard will enhance your website’s security
The 3-2-1 backup rule calls for three copies: two local and one offsite. Most hosts store backups in the same location as your files and often without direct access. If a problem occurs, you could be stuck. CodeGuard stores copies off your hosting environment, giving you access anytime, anywhere.
Even a minor mistake can infect your site or cause it to stop working – it could be a deliberate attack or the accidental deployment of an untested update to production. Without a backup, you first have to locate and fix the issue before restoring the site. That means downtime, extra costs, and the risk of losing user trust. The best way to stay resilient against attacks is to back up regularly so that if something goes wrong, you can instantly revert to a previous, proven version of your site.
Regular backups are essential, but the ability to isolate and restore a single file is true convenience—and that’s exactly what CodeGuard offers. Imagine accidentally overwriting a critical file during an update. Instead of restoring your entire site and losing other changes, CodeGuard lets you locate just that one file in the backup and restore it on its own.
A key advantage of working with code is tracking changes between versions—that’s why Git was created. CodeGuard uses Git’s version control mechanism: each backup is stored with a SHA‑1 hash, so all modifications are precisely identified and documented. This feature is built‑in and requires no additional configuration.
If your site runs on WordPress, CodeGuard can automatically manage updates for WordPress itself and all plugins. No manual intervention is needed: updates are performed automatically, and if anything goes wrong, the backup will restore your site to its pre-update state. You’ll save time, avoid stress, and eliminate manual work.
CodeGuard guarantees the security and integrity of your backups. They are stored in the Amazon Web Services cloud with server-side AES-256 encryption.
