    In the Backup now ->Include your database in the backup section, there is the item “Anonymize personal data for all users except staff”.

    Staff refers to the user privileges
    So, admins for example would be staff but subscribers and customers would not be.
    Admins: Data is not anonymised
    Subscribers/Customer: Data is anonymised

    Love, I don’t understand this sentence, it’s not understood in Italian. Can you explain?
    “N.B. Anonymized information cannot be recovered; the original non-anonymized data will be absent from the backup.”

    No problem, If you do a backup with anonymised, if you use it to restore your site, the data will be restored in the anonymised format.

    Anonymised data is only really suitable for when you are testing with something like a clone.
    For example, you are having issues with UpdraftPlus on your site, I ask you if we can do a clone for testing. I would need clone the DB (for the plugin settings) but I would use this feature so that I don’t copy your customer data over (I don’t need it so it’s best not to have it). It’s great for GDPR compliance.

    However if your site went down and you started with a blank WP install, when you restored the data you would not have your customer data (which would be fairly useless on an e-commerce site).
