Site Snapshots & Instant Rollback (Pro)
Create compressed instant backups of working sites before running risky migrations, composer upgrades, or database alters.
Zero-Risk Development with Snapshots
Running major Composer upgrades or complex database migrations can break your local environment. With Stratos Pro, create instant compressed snapshots of any site before making risky changes.
Creating a Snapshot
- Select your site in the Stratos main window.
- Click the Snapshots tab in the site inspector.
- Click + Create Snapshot and provide an optional label (e.g. Before Laravel 11 Upgrade).
- Stratos packages the codebase and configuration into a compressed
.zipsnapshot stored in~/Library/Application Support/Stratos/snapshots.
1-Click Staged Rollback
If an upgrade fails or data is corrupted, click Restore next to any snapshot. Stratos stages the archive and moves the current folder to a hidden safety copy before replacement, ensuring zero data loss during recovery.
