  • Brilliant plugin

    Billiant software. An amazing product which has been developed with a lot thought and efforts put in. Plethora of features available for backing up and restoring data. Really easy to use and stable as a rock.

  • Love it!

    Absolutely love Updraft! It brings me peace of mind knowing that my site is being backed up automatically every day. I’ve had several situations where I’ve needed to restore and had no issues.

  • Saved my life

    This plugin literally saved my life (ok, only my website). Because of some updates, a lot of pages were crashing and the backup perfectly worked to entirely restore my website. Easy and reliable plugin, thanks so much!

  • It Just Works.

    It Just Works. Very solid platform. Used it for 4+ years. On the occasional time I needed assistance, they are first class. Recommended.

  • 4 years and going strong. Feel so secure with UpdraftPlus

    We’ve used UpdraftPlus Gold since when we first started our agency about 4 years ago and we are so happy that we did. We’ve had nothing but good experiences and it’s saved us more than once. I don’t often need to use their support, but when I do then it’s been great. Most recently Vanessa helped us a ton with a bit of a complex issue that we had and she went above and beyond for us! Lifetime member here for sure.

  • Works like a champ, I sleep like a baby

    …two things I treasure about Updraft. Reliable operation after proper installation and configuration. I do not need to worry about it, or babysit my backup strategy. The other thing is reliable and trustworthy advice. I always read my email from the creators of Updraft and I challenge you to point to a better source of news and advice about cybersecurity with WordPress in general.

  • Best small-footprint and aggressive toolset for WP.

    Perhaps one of the best small-footprint and aggressive protection tools for WordPress. Consistently maintains its toolset and keeps pace with the current threat landscape.

  • No 1 backup, clone and migration plugin

    I am using updraftplus now since almost 4 years (July 2020) I am very satisfied. It’s easy to set up and handle, makes reliable backups on schedule and whenever something is updated. Whenever something goes wrong for example a plug-in update it’s easy to restore the version before. For me as a web designer it’s very useful to make clones for testing purposes and to migrate my developing environment to life sites. Thank you for developing and maintaining such a great tool.

  • This has saved me more than once!

    UpdraftPlus should be part of the standard installation of WordPress. It has saved me several times after installing a plugin or making a change that broke my website. I would highly recommend this plugin to everybody who has a WordPress website.

  • My security blanket

    Updraft Plus keeps my site safe with a minimum of hassle. Thank you!

  • Simply the most important and best plugin ever!

    Experienced twice: Uninstalling a plugin crashes the database to such an extent that I can no longer even generate access for an admin user via a direct database entry. Twice saved by this plugin, I use pCloud as remote storage. I used the free version a long time, then I changed to Premium and I will never go back to free again. The paid version is worth every cent. I just want to say thank you very much for this great functioning backup tool you crafted! If everything else fails in WordPress and seems to fall apart, this piece of software works rock solid!

  • Works great and makes is easy to transfer site

    Updraft is a great backuptool. It makes it so easy to move a WordPress site to a different host. I especially like remote backup to dropbox and restore from dropbox. Also, I like that it allows you to automatically search and replace the domain. For example, if you are installing the backup in a development environment, it gives you the option to restore with the domain name changed throughout the database; eg, dev.mydomain.com. A great time saver.
