Lever's Career Site Builder allows you to create your own custom career site connected to your Lever environment. You can use the builder to control the look and feel of your career site, ensuring that each candidate's experience aligns with your organization's brand. In this article, you will learn about backup sites.

How backup sites work

As you develop your custom career site, you can save copies of your site called backups. Backups allow you to restore to saved copies at any point in time. While our system automatically creates backups each time a site is published, it is recommended to create manual backups of your site periodically instead of relying on the automated backup system in place.

In general, it is a good idea to create a backup:

  • After you are satisfied with the look of your site
  • After you have finished a hard-to-do task (such as importing several pictures, coding, and so on)
  • Before adding any custom code or doing any big changes to the site

There is a limit of 50 automated backups and 50 manual backups that can be stored. New manual backups override earlier manual backups, thus your earliest manual backup is deleted when you create a new one. This is also the case for automatic backups; the earliest automatic backup is deleted when a new one is created. Automated backups get deleted out of the backup list often because of how it is structured. If you want to keep an automated backup, simply restore to an automated backup, and then create a manual backup from that.

Automated backups

Automated backups are created after:

  • Republishing
  • Adding or removing the multi-language feature
  • Restoring a backup
  • Deleting a site
  • Accessing developer mode
  • Resetting a site
  • Changing a site layout

Creating manual backups

To create a manual backup:

  • In the left panel of the site editor, navigate to Settings > Site Backup
  • Type a 'New Version Name' for the backup
  • Click Save

Restore from backup

To create a manual backup:

  • In the left panel of the site editor, navigate to Settings > Site Backup
  • Click the Restore link next to the backup you want to restore
  • Type a name for your backup

Delete backups

To delete a backup:

  • In the left panel of the site editor, navigate to Settings > Site Backup
  • Click the Delete link next to the backup you want to delete
