UpdraftPlus

UpdraftPlus is the most widely used WordPress backup plugin, trusted by over 3 million active installations to protect WordPress websites with automated backups and one-click restoration. The plugin simplifies WordPress backup management by providing scheduled automated backups of both files and databases with storage to remote cloud destinations. Backup destinations include Google Drive, Dropbox, Amazon S3, Microsoft OneDrive, Rackspace Cloud, FTP, SFTP, and email, giving users flexibility in where their backups are stored. Incremental backups on the premium version only transfer changed files, reducing backup time, bandwidth usage, and storage consumption. One-click restoration enables complete site recovery from any backup point without technical expertise or command-line access. The migration and cloning feature allows users to duplicate their WordPress site to a new domain or server, useful for staging environments and site moves. Multisite support enables backup and restoration of WordPress multisite networks, including individual sub-site migration. The backup scheduling system supports customizable frequencies from every 2 hours to monthly, with separate schedules for files and databases. Pre-update backups automatically create a backup before WordPress core, theme, or plugin updates, providing a safety net for failed updates. The reporting system sends backup status notifications via email to keep administrators informed about backup health. UpdraftVault provides integrated cloud storage specifically designed for UpdraftPlus backups with encryption at rest. Advanced features include database encryption, backup splitting for large sites, and detailed logging for troubleshooting.
