UpdraftPlus
Back up, restore and migrate your WordPress website with UpdraftPlus
To make a backup and download it to your PC (or an external USB drive attached to your PC), you can do this in two steps:
Sometimes customers ask if it is possible to skip step 2 – i.e. can UpdraftPlus automatically send the backup to your PC/Mac?
This is possible, but only if you set up software on your PC to automatically synchronise a remote cloud storage service with your PC/Mac. e.g. Send your backup to Dropbox, and use the Dropbox application on your PC to automatically sync your Dropbox with your PC/Mac. Or send your backup to Google Drive, and use the Google Drive application on your PC/Mac to automatically download what’s in your Google Drive.
It’s not possible for a website (such as your WordPress website, of which UpdraftPlus is a part) to automatically send backups to your computer directly – there is no general-purpose technology which exists to achieve this. Therefore, it’s necessary to use some sort of particular helper application, like in the previous paragraph.
