The following backup facilities are provided in all plans.
Instant Backups
These types of backups provide an instant archived version of your WordPress site.

Important: The retention policy for Instant backups is 15 days.

Offsite Backups
Offsite backups are being stored in a safe off-site facility, in cases of catastrophic failure. Offsite backups contain all your websites and media, including the SQL database.
To view your Offsite backups using the Pressidium Dashboard
