Build a backup job around the site

BackWPup Pro is the paid edition of the WordPress backup and restore add-on. It includes recovery, migration, encryption, storage and multisite capabilities for professionals, agencies, online stores and businesses.

Start by choosing what to back up: a complete WordPress installation, including its database and files such as wp-content, themes, add-ons and uploads, or a database-only or files-only backup. Set the schedule to hourly, daily, weekly or monthly, or execute a backup on demand.

A single job can save the same backup to several destinations, such as the website server and off-website storage. Each destination has its own configuration and retention settings.

For websites needing more cloud destinations

The free version supports Website Server (local), Dropbox, FTP, Microsoft Azure, Amazon S3 and compatible storage, SugarSync, and Rackspace Cloud Files. Pro adds Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Amazon Glacier and HiDrive.

For direct restores from supported storage

Free-version restores require a manually uploaded backup archive. With Pro, you can restore directly from supported cloud and server destinations. Its standalone restore application can recover a website even when WordPress itself is unavailable.

• Encryption: Encrypt backup data and keep encryption during restoration.
• Migration: Move a site to a new domain or hosting provider with automatic URL and database updates.
• Multisite: Manage backups and recovery for WordPress multisite networks.
• Premium support: Get direct, ticket-based support from the BackWPup team.

Manage jobs in technical processes

BackWPup can be managed from the WordPress dashboard or automated with WP-CLI. MCP-compatible assistants can help check backup status, run jobs, review logs and troubleshoot issues using natural language.
