UpdraftPlus
Back up, restore and migrate your WordPress website with UpdraftPlus
The default location is on your hosting server within a folder called ‘UpdraftPlus’ in the wp-content folder.
However we strongly advise you to store your backups remotely from your server so you can access the backups independently.
Should anything happen with your hosting provider, perhaps a server crash or any loss of service, you may not be able to access your backup files. By storing your WordPress backups separately, you have control and access to your WordPress site and can restore it anytime to wherever you need it.
If you have an account for any of these, it’s worth checking what space is available and using it for your WordPress backups.
You can also email your backup files to a specified email address but be aware of the size of those files. Mail servers have size limits, generally between 10 – 20 Mb. Anything larger than this is unlikely to arrive.
FTP is also an option if you can access space on a different server to your website.
UpdraftVault is fully integrated into UpdraftPlus, so you can connect and back up in just a few clicks. It’s built on Amazon S3, providing 99.999999% reliability, redundancy, and high scalability. 1GB is included with every purchase of UpdraftPlus Premium with the option to purchase more storage if you need it.
UpdraftPlus Premium also allows you to back up to more than one location for additional peace of mind.
