Hi all. I’m configuring a high-end DO droplet using Vesta CP to host about 5-10 WordPress websites.
If I enable droplet backups, is it possible for me to use it to restore specific content (e.g. a database or a user’s directory) rather than the entire droplet?
I ask because if only one website has an issue, but I restore the entire droplet, it is overkill and would revert any of the changes done on the other websites as well.
Thanks in advance.

Not really, no but there is a workaround. If you run into this situation, you can convert your most recent backup image to a snapshot in the control panel. Then you can use it to create a new droplet, copy the files off that droplet that you need, and then destroy the temporary droplet.
