Granular Backup & Restore with Content Retention Options

It would be extremely valuable to introduce a more granular backup and restore capability. Specifically, the ability to restore a website to a previous version while selectively preserving dynamic content such as WordPress posts, pages, or database entries.

Currently, most restore processes are all-or-nothing, which can result in the loss of recently published content when rolling back to fix issues like plugin conflicts, theme errors, or security incidents.

Proposed enhancement:
Allow users to restore core site files (themes, plugins, configurations) independently from content, or provide an option during restore to retain newer WordPress content.

Key benefits:

• Prevents content loss: Safeguards recent posts and updates while still allowing rollback for technical fixes
• Faster recovery: Eliminates the need to manually re-create lost content after a restore
• Improved user experience: Gives users more control and confidence when using backups
• Competitive advantage: Advanced granular restore features differentiate your platform from standard hosting providers
• Reduced support load: Fewer tickets related to accidental data loss during restores

Currently, services like BlogVault offer similar functionality, but only as a premium add-on, I believe. Including this feature natively would significantly enhance Scala's platform’s value proposition and be extremely helpful for users and customers.
