BackupBliss - Backup Migration Staging Pro is the paid edition for managing WordPress backups, storage, restoration, migration, and staging. Choose what a backup contains and where it goes, then use it to restore a site or move a copy to another host.

Choose backup contents and processing

Select Create backup now in the add-on settings to begin. By default, a backup includes the website except the plugin’s own backups and the WordPress installation. To include the installation, select it under What will be backed up?

Pro includes detailed file and database filters with smart exclusion rules. Choose which files, folders, extensions, or database components to include or exclude. The paid edition also works with faster backup creation, encryption, and Tar or GZip compression. The free version has a 4 GB backup limit due to WordPress ZIP handling; Pro supports unlimited backup sizes and increased stability for larger websites.

Set storage and backup schedules

Choose local storage, a connected remote destination, or both. Pro can connect to Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, pCloud, Amazon S3, Wasabi, SFTP, FTP, and BackupBliss Storage. Connect an account in the storage settings; synced backups then appear in the management area.

Schedule automatic backups daily, weekly, or monthly, and set their time and retention count. Pro can also create backups before theme, plugin, or WordPress core updates. You can set backup names and pick when to receive email notifications.

Restore or migrate a site

To restore a backup stored on the site, open Manage & Restore Backup(s) and select Restore beside the backup. For a backup on another device, upload its file in that area, then choose Restore. For a direct site-to-site migration, copy the backup link on the source site, paste it into Super-quick migration on the destination site, and select Restore now! The source backup must be accessible via direct link. You can also connect the relevant remote storage account and restore a synced backup from the management area.

Create a staging site

In the plugin settings, open Create a staging site. Choose Your server & domain to create the staging environment on your server or machine; set a custom path if needed. Or choose TasteWP (external server), select a backup file, and start the staging process.
