I am looking for the ability to:
- restore/push a specific backup to a staging site
- download a specifc backup (more than just the current site data)
The Restore feature works great when disaster strikes or when you need a full restore for a known date.
However, the much more likley case is when a backup needs to be inspected, tested, reviewed in a staging environment.
Example use cases:
- User deletes important content but not exactly sure when
- Plugin update causes a problem and reverting the plugin doesn't solve for it
- Site was hacked and restore points need to be tested to find a clean instance.
The "Download Website Data" feature is limited to the current version of the site which, for me at least, has almost no value. The only use cases I can think of is a client that is leaving for another provider or I need to edit the site locally.
