Automated Cloud Backup, Monitoring, and Point-in-Time Restoration for Modern Web Infrastructure.
CodeGuard, a Sectigo company, is a sophisticated cloud-based website backup and monitoring service that functions as a technical 'time machine' for web assets. Its architecture is built upon incremental data synchronization, utilizing SFTP/FTP/MySQL protocols to capture bit-level changes without taxing server resources. Positioned as a mission-critical utility for the 2026 digital economy, CodeGuard mitigates risks associated with code corruption, human error, and malicious injections. The platform distinguishes itself through its proprietary 'MalwareGone' automated remediation engine and its ability to provide granular, point-in-time recovery. Unlike traditional host-level backups, CodeGuard offers a provider-agnostic layer of redundancy, ensuring that even in the event of total datacenter failure or account suspension at the hosting level, the website's source code and database remain intact and deployable to a new environment within minutes. Its monitoring engine performs daily 'diff' checks, alerting developers to even the most minute unauthorized file changes, making it an essential component of a modern DevSecOps pipeline for SMBs and enterprise-level web properties.
Uses a rsync-inspired logic to identify and upload only the changed bits of files rather than re-uploading the entire directory.
Verified feedback from the global deployment network.
Post queries, share implementation strategies, and help other users.
Automated scanning engine that identifies malicious code injections and can automatically revert those specific files to a clean version.
Monitors database table schemas and row changes, allowing for point-in-time recovery of SQL data without total database overwrites.
Generates a 'diff' report showing exactly which lines of code were modified, added, or deleted between backup cycles.
Automatically pushes backup files back to the server via SFTP, overwriting existing corrupted files without manual FTP intervention.
Allows users to restore a backup to a different subdirectory or server to test changes before pushing to production.
Enables agencies to present the CodeGuard dashboard under their own branding to end-clients.
A plugin update causes a 'White Screen of Death' (WSOD) on a high-traffic site.
