WP STAGING allows you to upload a backup of your website to Amazon S3.
So, no matter what happens to your website, you will always have access to the backup file and will be able to restore your website from it.
To backup, your website to Amazon S3, learn how to set up the API credentials first.

3. On the “Security Credentials” page, click on “Access keys” then “Create New Access Key“:
4. After that, click on “Show Access Key.“
