 * Hello [@ovidiu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ovidiu/) Liuta,
 * I did not find guidelines for multisites, so two question here please:
 * Does it support multisite backup?
 * If yes, how should I activate it please? should I activate it only on main site
   and it will backup whole multisite? or should I activate it on every subisite
   to backup individually please?
 * Thanks

 * You can activate it for each site and it will be able to backup each site separately,
   or you can activate it globally and it can backup all your network sites, however,
   the later option is a little bit complicated for restoring a single network site.

 * Hi [@xcloner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xcloner/)
 * Thanks for reply, three further questions:
 * > You can activate it for each site and it will be able to backup each site separately,
 * 1# In this way, should I restore the main site and subsites ONE BY ONE?
 * >  or you can activate it globally and it can backup all your network sites, 
   > however, the later option is a little bit complicated for restoring a single
   > network site.
 * 2# Is there an online tutorial to do that please?
 * 3# I am quite confused by Restore by URL.
 * If I install XCloner on two wordpress sites, how should I restore one site by
   the url of another site please?
 * Thanks in Advance.

 * 1. yes, you could restore each subsite manually, however, please note, the restore
   includes mostly database changes(so it’s only a database restore) since the files
   are shared between sites.
 * 2. unfortunately not at the moment
 * 3. the restore url is just an API endpoint on any of your subdomains/main domain,
   it can remain the same for all restores as long as it has access to the filesystem
   and database
 * Hope it helps. Ovidiu
