   I’ve been using UpdraftPlus for a while now, and theonly issue I have is that no matter what settings I change, it will NOT delete old backups. Consequently my hosting gets full and I have to go in and manually remove the old backups. I have them set to email me the .zip file, and only keep 1 backup on hand – but UpdraftPlus will not delete them. And unless you buy the ‘Premium’ version, there is no help available – you have to log in to get assistance. No way I’m buying the ‘Premium’ version of a plugin that doesn’t work properly!

   First of all I I have downloaded BackUpWordPress but unfortunately gives out problem with BBpress

   I deactivated the dropbox plugin and reinstalled it, unfortunately now it is coming up with the above error. After I decided to pump WordPress Backup Dropbox I try to install the plugin again. The error was removed and I fixed this problem.

   I have been using UpdraftPlus for years and found it a great tool and it’s free. However, I just ran into an issue and needed to restore a database with UpdraftPlus plugin which I recently updated. When I uploaded my backup which was downloaded from an slightly older version of the plugin, I received an error and found out that it was not backward compatible. The error message pointed to a “fix” for this which consisted of about 8 posts with absolutely no explanation or help what so ever.

   WHAT’S THE POINT OF A BACKUP/RESTORE DATABASE PLUGIN THAT IS NOT BACKWARD COMPATIBLE??? I think it’s safe to say – I’m done with UpdraftPlus.

     This is highly unusual, but the reason for this isn’t incompatible backup formats (the backup format hasn’t changed). It’s a decision the WP core devs made about support for ancient MySQL versions.

     You’ll need to update MySQL on the destination site – which the documentation explains.

     For more help, please enter a question on the forum and we’ll be happy to help.

   Maybe I’m dense, but the manual way to create site backups, including db backups, is not rocket science. So maybe I expect too much from a plugin designed to simplify the backup process. The sites I manage only require changes a few times each month. Sometimes not even that. So for me, it’s easier to use CODA to backup my site files, and rely on WP Database Backup to handle that. It’s so rare I need to restore a site, that I’d rather know my backups are legit.

   Today, after reading this article I tried to find BackupBuddy but your links don’t work, and the return results in Google also wouldn’t resolve to a page. So I installed BackWpup on a site to test. It took three tries to get it to work. Your tutorial was somewhat helpful, but there are some changes in the dashboard options I saw. I have no idea what was causing the plugin to just hang for an hour, especially on a very small site . . . but I deactivated it, reactivated it, created the Job Name all over again, and it finally worked. However, I had to reload the page for the progress bars to get to 100%.

   I went ahead and installed on a larger site and same issues. However, after 4 hours of messing with it, I finally uninstalled it. I lost work time thinking “any minute now” it’s going to work.

   Maybe it’s because I updated my core WP to 4.5 today, but I don’t think that’s the issue. I did post a comment on their support page earlier today, and haven’t seen a reply.

   I can now see why you just spend the money on a plugin that works. I guess I’ll have to do the same.

   Is there a backup program for my WordPress site that lets me do a backup of my site anytime I want? In other words, all the backup programs backup on a preset schedule, but sometimes I want to be able to add a backup manually.

   Thank you.

     Most plugins in the list allow you to start a manual backup at anytime you want.

   On your recommendations here I tried almost all but finally I ended up with “BackUpWordPress” on my new blog – as this sends you a link to download the backup files.

   Before, I’m using Updraft plus. But now, I used to subscribed a Wordpress Management service. They take care my website for me. They have their own backup system which is indefinitely stored on a cloud service. They also do some task for me, task related to my subscribed website.
   credits to for such a good service

    I’m afraid I’ve had nothing but bad experiences with VaultPress. It has proven to be difficult to set up correctly and the customer service is very, very slow. Additionally, the customer service reps I have dealt with have not been very helpful at all. I do not recommend them at all.

    This is a good article and many will find it very helpful.

    However, for 2015 I’m very surprised that number 7 (WP-DB-Backup) made the list as it only backs up the database. With respect to WP-Beginner, the title of the article uses the word “best” not “most popular” and backing up only the database is certainly not the best practice in today’s WordPress environment.

    Many free backup plugins have the option to backup just the database on a schedule. Heck, most security plugins do as well – and on a schedule.

    Also, I’ve found that Akeeba Core for WordPress is a great free solution for complete backups as well as restores. BackupBuddy is my preferred choice, but some who are on poor hosting have time out issues with it. Akeeba Core is a good alternative to try as it uses a different technology that seems to have more success with those hosts.

    All in all a great article.

    UpdraftPlus is absolutely awesome! and the free version is cover most needed for just backup + upload to cloud storages. I tried it before found this. And I don’t thank they have bad interface. It really simple to use and very easy. Just a few clicks and you go. I really love it!

    BackWP UP is not worth. It makes great backup. Everything in a Zip, but restoring needs Adminer. It made all the restoration full of hassle. In the end, I did a manual restore, which was a crazy difficult task. Although I did it.

    Responder

    • Joe Miles

      The review says BackWPUp is complete – but without the ability to restore backups it’s incomplete!

      UpdraftPlus has quickly become the world’s most popular backup in the last year because it is complete. BackWPup can even use UDP to restore backups made with their plugin.

      Responder

    • Cathy Goodwin

      Same problem. I think it’s important to add a note to this post to show that BackWPUP requires extra software or plug-ins to restore. One reason to use backup is to clone and this won’t do it.

18. Gabriela

    You should also take in consideration the WP MyBackup which has many advanced features that other plugins do no provide. Besides that is comes FREE. If you need a more versatile version of it then it has also a PRO version which comes for only few bucks.

    I have a few clients on Godaddy hosting (ughh!) and Backupbuddy is no longer working because they choke their servers…does anyone have any experience with vaultpress and Godaddy? It is making me nervous that the sites are not getting backed up properly and I’d love to have the peace of mind

    If you want to migrate a site with UpDraft Plus, you’ll need to spend $30/year for access. It’s for an unlimited number of sites, but the year isn’t just support (60 days) and updates (1 year); it’s also support to install it on any new sites.

    I tried just backing up with the site as a test before I bought the migration add-on, and it failed miserably after 10% of a tiny site.

    Responder

    • David Anderson

      Hi Stanford,

      Sorry to hear you had a negative experience with UpdraftPlus. I’ve searched our support system for your name, and couldn’t find any tickets – please do file one if you have a problem. People have successfully used UpdraftPlus on sites up to 50 gigabytes in size (we’ve not tested beyond that).

      Just to clarify – if you purchase the Migrator component, then you can download a zip file from your account page to install which you can use whenever you like – for life. It’s only the alternative install method, via connecting to updraftplus.com and downloading the latest add-on from your account, which you only have access to for 1 year; but, you don’t need to use that method.

      I’ve used several of the above plugins and none come close to UpDraftPlus. The UI is simple and to the point so I can’t see how the UI is cluttered.

      I’ve been using UpDraftPlus on over 10 sites without a hitch. It’s been flawless on each site. I’ve also had to transfer all 10 sites over to a new host and without this plugin it would have been a nightmare. I didn’t need to use the migrator plugin at all but that may be down to how I installed each site.

    I have used Backup Buddy on several sites for a couple of years. Up until about two months ago, it worked really well. I even used it to migrate all of my sites to a new host using a lot less time than I expected.

    Then it broke.

    I’m not sure why, and the tech “support” at iThemes doesn’t know, either. I keep getting the same set of things to try (which I already did after reading their help files, and before submitting my first support ticket).

    I’m guessing that there is a problem with a firewall plugin that I use, but even disabling all other plugins and renaming the .htaccess file does not get BB to work. For now, I am using the cPanel backup — which works, and fairly quickly — despite the fact that it’s a little less convenient than BB *used* to be. But a backup that actually works is much better than one that doesn’t.

    I don’t really fault the program itself, but the “support” staff there is truly clueless.

    Responder

    • Jimmy Krug

      I’ve had the same thing happen with other plugins (Backup Buddy, Updraft Plus, etc.) They work good until… they don’t. Today I use a combination of plugin and Cpanel Backup. With Cpanel, I backup the Home Directory first, then the databases. By using a combination of plugin along with Cpanel, I have a “plan B” if something strange happens with one of the plugins. Sure, it takes a few extra minutes to make a Cpanel backup, but it’s worth having the peace of mind.

    I votes Updraft Plus as the best backup plugin and there are many valid reasons for it;
    It is a completely free plugin. Anyone can take backups on local or remote storage without paying a penny.
    It supports Dropbox with the help of which anyone can store backup on cloud and restore it on any hosting server. And thus it makes WordPress server migration very easy.
    With the help of Updraftplus we can restore WordPress database and even files via WordPress dashboard and there is no need to do any work around like in Backupbuddy.

25. David

    Greetings. I just installed and used UpdraftPlus (the free version). I agree with your review except that I did not find the interface at all cluttered. In fact, it is great and simple to use. I linked the backups to do remote backup with two clicks, to use DropBox. I am very pleased and impressed.

    By the way, if you ask for an email address, it would be good to say something about how/why you are using it, and whether it will be publicly visible or not. In any case, thank you for a good review.

    The only worthy and truly free ones are UpdraftPlus and xCloner

    The other plugins are paid services or you have to pay to restore your backup
    With UpdraftPlus you can backup and restore from GoogleDrive, Dropbox, Amazon S3…

    xCloner is a more advanced solution, it also works as standalone solution for any website, but only supports Amazon S3 as a remote backup service, the problem with Amazon S3 service is that its only free for 12 months after registration

    “Restoring a WordPress site from backup is also very simple. The BackWPup Pro version comes with priority support, ability to store backups on Google Drive, and some other cool features.”
    Really? HOW EXACTLY, since BackWPup doesn’t have a Restore Backup function?!? For restoring backups you have to use another plugin and it all but easy! Did you even try this plugin before recommending it?

    Updraft, BackupWordPress, Duplicator all fails on large sites.

    I’ve got about 2.2GB eGallery and they fail due timeouts, no matter what hosting.

    Solution?

    Manual backup via FileZilla. Perhaps, once I become pro I go for VaultPress. That seems to be only one solution left for large sites.

    Responder

    • Mark C.

      Dedek – more than likely the reason for the timeouts on large sites with those plugins is the host has set the servers up for short PHP run times. Some hosts will adjust their settings if you call and ask and tell them why you need it.

      Responder

    • Heinrich Ferreira

      I think you’ll find your host setup is the issue. I’ve backed up and restored sites around 6gb without any issues.

    Backup Buddy is no longer free, unfortunately. The license ends up costing far more than the subscription based service you use unless you have a lot of sites to backup.

    Responder

32. xpil

    My favourite choice is UpdraftPlus. Fort a small site with a single-target backup store, the free version does its job just perfectly. And I had an opportunity to test the restore process, too. It is relatively painless, although some basic knowledge of MySQL databases and Linux filesystems is necessary.

    David,

    We feel that our beginner level users
    would be overwhelmed by the number of options. The options and
    instructions on the updraftplus’ settings tab can be simplified using UI
    elements like help buttons which expand when a user clicks on them to
    show instructions. The text can be made more easy to read. Unnecessary
    notifications can be hidden or closed once they are displayed.

    . There is no button to close the two notifications that appear on plugins settings page.

    . On the settings tab there are too many options.
    . Whole sentences of instructions are linked.

    . There is a request to purchase addons multiple times on the settings tab.

    We
    think that all these things can be cleaned up to create a better UI and
    a better user experience, which will make updraftplus even more user
    friendly.

    Thanks

    Yes, you should always have your own backup system in place. Many of our users found themselves in situations where their hosting providers backup was corrupt or simply not available. Remember that your hosting provider is not obliged to backup your site. Its better to be safe than sorry.

    Hi guys,

    Thanks for including UpdraftPlus in the review. I was really surprised about the comments about the user interface, as this is something we’ve put a lot of effort into simplifying…. and the ease of use is mentioned very frequently in our reviews (and I can’t remember when I last saw a review that said that it was complex) – http://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/updraftplus – I’d be really grateful if you could elaborate, because if there’s anything that can be further simplified then I would be grateful.

    I have tried the majority of the free backup plugins but have discarded them all for one reason or another. I like the idea of VaultPress but really didn’t want another subscription based service so I finally took the plunge and purchased a licence for BackupBuddy and so far I have been really pleased with how easy it is to use. The hardest part was opening and creating the storage accounts so I could save different backups to different locations.

    You articles are among my favorites and I have previously found every
    tip to be right, but I have to say that I have found one point here to
    be quite different than my personal experience.

    After using a number of other backups and finding most of them confusing at some point I switched to Updraft Plus exactly because it was so user friendly.

    For example, when you want to restore you click on a big restore button, it shows you a list of a half dozen big buttons to restore each category:
    pages, posts, database, etc. Very easy. I found the same to be true with
    each stage of setting it up.

    I had a friend with a strange saying: “As the farmer said when he kissed the cow, everyone to his own taste!” Perhaps the same applies here, we all have different tastes and come from different backgrounds, but I find Updraft Plus very easy to use.
