Can you help me with a backup and disaster recovery plan when using the Webstudio?

At a glance

The community members are looking for a best backup and recovery plan for their Webstudio platform, as they are planning to take it to production level with their clients. They are interested in the possibility of getting an immediate or latest snapshot of the entire project, as they are working on cloud development and hosting.

In the comments, community members suggest that when you generate the project with the CLI, you get the whole project data locally, and you can put it into a local builder database, though this is not an official or guaranteed way and might require assistance. They also mention that in the future, the platform will introduce official export/import features.

Additionally, the community members recommend cloning the project manually as a way to minimize the risk of losing something in production, though they acknowledge that this is not an optimal solution. They also suggest publishing to a staging environment first, to ensure everything works, before publishing to production.

There is no explicitly marked answer in the provided information.

We would like to take the Webstudio platform to production level with our clients and would like to know a best backup and recovery plan in case if anything goes south with the production deployed pages or at the time of development.

Is there a possibility of getting an immediate or latest snapshot of the entire project?
We are talking about cloud development and hosting.

Any insight would be appreciated as I couldn't draw a conclusion from the realted posts I came across.

When you generate the project with CLI you get whole project data locally. With a few manipulations you can put it into local builder database. Though it's not an official or guaranteed way and might require our assistance. In the future we will introduce official export/import features.
As of right now, if you are super afraid of loosing something in production, you probably want to clone your project manually. This is not optimal, we know.
Additionally you may want to publish to staging first, make sure everything works, only then publish to production (we provide a way to choose the domain you are publishing to)

This way you can minimize the risk of breaking production
Thanks you both for the answers.
