Why UpdraftPlus for WordPress backups?

Total control

Are your backups managed at the server level by your host? Forget what’s in the black box. Back up to a location that you control, at a schedule you’re comfortable with. Choose UpdraftPlus for peace of mind.

Set and forget

Choose what to back up, when to back up and where to back up to. Turn on scheduled backups then its set and forget. It’s powerful and easy to use, even for beginners!

Testimonials

  • It’s not too hard to write a basic backup plugin that works 80% of the time. But to create one that works in every scenario? That’s much rarer!

  • Get more cloud storage locations

    Back up to even more storage locations including Microsoft OneDrive, SFTP, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud and more.

  • Get direct site-to-site migration

    Connect two sites once (e.g. a sandbox and a live site) and migrate as many times as you wish.

  • More files

    Back up, restore and migrate files outside of the WP content directory such as wp-config.php and customisations made to WordPress core.

    Back up, restore and migrate tables beyond those beginning with the ‘WP_’ prefix as well as external PHP/MySQL applications!

  • More security

    Lock off UpdraftPlus to other admins (e.g clients), anonymise sensitive backup data and encrypt the database for added peace of mind.

  • Detailed reports

    No more combing through log files. Send reports to any email address. Get cryptographic checksums and verify the integrity of the backup files.

  • Anonymise data

    Automatically anonymise personal data before backing up. Supports compliance with GDPR, CCPA and other privacy laws.

Frequently asked questions

How does UpdraftPlus compare with other WordPress backup plugins?

WordPress users tell us all the time that they love UpdraftPlus because ‘it just works’. UpdraftPlus has more users and more five-star reviews on the WordPress directory than any other WordPress backup plugin.

UpdraftPlus also offers more remote storage locations,  including integrated storage with UpdraftVault. 1GB is included in every purchase. Our support desk is manned by a skilled team of developers. 88% of support tickets are responded to within 24 hours and we have a satisfaction rating of more than 80%.

What are the main differences between free and premium?

While the free version of UpdraftPlus works perfectly fine, choose UpdraftPlus Premium to save server resources and reduce storage space, for example, by backing up incremental changes instead of full backups each time.

Premium also affords you more protection through features like backing up to more than one location, automatic backups before updates, and the ability to back up more files and databases.

It has some added security too – you can anonymise personal data in the backups, lock off settings to other admins (e.g. clients) and encrypt the database.
