UpdraftPlus
Back up, restore and migrate your WordPress website with UpdraftPlus
Premium feature
Premium scheduling
Get more control over when you run backups with this premium scheduling feature.
-
What is the premium scheduling feature?
Choose the exact time when backups run. The free version of UpdraftPlus allows you to schedule every 2, 4, 8 or 12 hours, daily, weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
-
What are the benefits of this feature?
Run backups when your website has less visitors, like during the night.
Running backups during low-traffic periods minimises the impact on website performance whilst utiilising server resources when availability is high.
If you manage multiple WordPress website on the same server, you can schedule for different times and spread the load.
Here’s a quick example
You could set UpdraftPlus to:
Back up your files and your database every 2 hours from midnight.
You can set advanced retention rules from this same tab. This feature lets you automatically remove older backups after a certain time period.
You also have the option to set incremental backups. This allows you to back up only the changes made to your site since the last full backup, saving time and storage space.
We have been using UpdraftPlus since 2016, to backup, migrate, and restore our client sites. While no plugin is perfect, it’s a lot better than other backup solutions. UpdraftPlus has been an invaluable tool for backup recovery when things go wrong… and you never know when those times are needed! Also, we have found the support to be responsive within 1-2 days and always solve any issues we do have.
