Prepare backups for recovery

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

Choose a complete backup of the WordPress database and site documents, including wp-content, themes, plugins, and uploads. You can also set up a database-only or files-only backup. Jobs can run hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly, or start on demand before a website change.

Choose where copies are stored

A single job can send the same backup to multiple destinations. Keep a copy on the website server and send another off-site, for example. Each destination has its own configuration and retention options.

Pro adds Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Amazon Glacier, and HiDrive to the storage destinations available in the free version.

Restore, migrate, and protect site data

• Direct restore: Restore from supported cloud and server destinations without manually uploading the backup archive.
• Standalone recovery: Use the standalone restore application when WordPress itself is unavailable.
• Encryption: Encrypt backup data and retain encryption during restoration.
• Migration: Move a site to a new domain or hosting provider with automatic URL and database updates.
• Multisite: Manage backup and recovery processes for WordPress multisite networks.

Manage routine backup work

Use the WordPress dashboard to configure jobs, review backup history and logs, and run backups. WP-CLI works with command-line automation for repeatable backup tasks. Pro also includes direct, ticket-based premium support.

Set up a backup job

Install BackWPup Pro in WordPress, then use the guided setup to select the files or database to include, pick a schedule, and configure one or more storage destinations. Review encryption, retention settings, restore options, and any migration needs as part of the site's backup process.
