Browse a backup and download single files
Look inside any backup and download one file or one table without restoring anything.
Updated Oct 7, 2026
- Open the site’s Backups page and pick a backup from the list.
- Click the Content tab.
- Open Site files or Database and click through the folders. Each shows its size in that backup.
- Click any file to download it.
Next to each file and folder under Site files there’s also a Restore button to put just that back on the site. See Restore a backup.
In Database, each table is its own .sql file, so you can grab just wp_options or one form plugin’s entries.
Good for “the client overwrote their logo last Tuesday”: find the backup from Monday, open files/wp-content/uploads, and download the old file.
