Snapshot Backup creates a snapshot backup of your entire website: that’s your Database, current WP Core, all your Themes, Plugins and Uploads. The resulting single archive file is then uploaded to an FTP repository of your choice.
You can use one FTP repository for snapshots from various sites and group them using File Prefixes and Subdirectories to tell your snapshots apart.
If you don’t have an FTP account you can download the file from your local server at the end of the backup.
