BackWPup

A WordPress site represents real work: content, customers, sales, and reputation. A failed update, a server problem, or a single mistake can take it all offline in seconds. BackWPup exists to make sure that never becomes a disaster.

🛡️ Back Up Your Way

Good protection adapts to how you work. BackWPup is built around three simple decisions: what to back up, when to back it up, and where to keep it.

What to back up. Create a complete backup of your entire WordPress installation: your full database and all your files, including the wp-content folder, themes, plugins, and uploads. Prefer a targeted backup? Back up just your database or just your files. BackWPup also supports WordPress multisite, so an entire network is covered.

When to back up. Set automatic backups to run hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly, so protection keeps pace with how often your site changes. A high-traffic store can back up several times a day; a brochure site can run weekly. Need one right now, before a plugin update or a round of edits? Run a backup on demand in a single click.

Where to store backups. Your backups shouldn’t depend on a single location. BackWPup lets a single backup job store the same backup across multiple destinations at once: keep a copy on your own web space and send copies off-site to the cloud, so you’re protected even if one location becomes unavailable. The free version supports Website Server (local), Dropbox, FTP, Microsoft Azure, Amazon S3 and compatible storage, SugarSync, and Rackspace Cloud Files, and you can combine any of them in the same job. Each destination has its own configuration and retention settings, so you control how many copies are kept where.

Every backup is tracked in one place. With clear logs and backup history, you can easily verify when a backup ran, whether it succeeded, and where it was stored. When something does go wrong, restoring is just as straightforward: review your backups, choose one, and restore your site to a known-good state.
