  Do WordPress.com offer any recovery service, if content from a site is lost?

  Thanks :)

  I think that question was already covered in your previous thread when discussing importing and exporting. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/domain-mapping-questions-7?replies=12#post-3017738
  If you are worried that you might accidentally delete some content you can regularly export xml files from your site. But if you delete posts they can be recovered from the trash (I believe for up to 30 days). https://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/ The onus is on the site owner to not lose their own content. For example, deleting multiple images from the Media Library is permanent and not something that can be reversed by one click. It also removes those images from the posts they are associated with. Personally I like to keep a file on my laptop containing the images I place on my site, although I’m sure with their numerous servers my content is safe at WordPress.com.
