UpdraftPlus is a highly rated and immensely popular WordPress plugin (with free and paid versions) specialized in the backup, restore, cloning, and migration of WordPress websites. It’s trusted by millions of WordPress users worldwide because to its extensive features, affordability, and dependability.
UpdraftPlus is one of the few free plugins that can restore a website from backups inside the WordPress Admin. Its free edition also includes a number of external storage alternatives, including Dropbox, Google Drive, FTP, Rackspace, and email.
For customers with more complex demands, such as multisite support or site cloning and migration features, UpdraftPlus Premium offers handy solutions (and many additional advantages we’ll get into later).
Key Features of UpdraftPlus.com:
1. Automated WordPress Backups
With UpdraftPlus, you can design an hourly, daily, weekly, fortnightly, or monthly backup plan that matches your website. For example, if you upload two new WordPress blogs a week, then you may backup your files every fortnight and backup your database once every week.
2. Multiple Storage Locations
Typically, it’s a terrible idea to keep your backups at the same place as your website. If you do, then you risk losing both your website and backup data if anything goes wrong.
Instead, UpdraftPlus enables you to store your backups to all the most popular cloud storage providers, including Dropbox, Rackspace Cloud Files, Google Drive, and Microsoft OneDrive.
3. UpdraftVault Storage
With UpdraftPlus, you can backup your WordPress website to a selection of cloud storage providers.
4. Backup to Multiple Locations
It’s great practice to backup your site to numerous sites. That way, even if you lose access to one backup you’ll still have a fallback that you can utilize.
The good news is that UpdraftPlus can backup to numerous locations at the same time. This means you don’t have to conduct numerous separate backups.
5. Include and Exclude Files
According to the UpdraftPlus website, this plugin is proved to backup sites of 100GB, with the file size only restricted by your web host. However, huge websites might take a long time to process, and will take up more storage.
