BackWPup ile Ücretsiz Eksiksiz WordPress Yedeği Nasıl Oluşturulur?

Editoryal Not: WPBeginner üzerindeki ortak bağlantılardan komisyon kazanıyoruz. Komisyonlar, editörlerimizin görüşlerini veya değerlendirmelerini etkilemez. Editoryal Süreç hakkında daha fazla bilgi edinin.

Tam bir site yedeklemesi, web sitenize yönelik her türlü güvenlik tehdidine karşı en iyi savunmalardan biridir.

Düzenli yedekleme her site sahibinin sahip olması gereken bir şeydir. Geçmişte size BackupBuddy ile içeriğinizi nasıl güvende tutacağınızı ve WordPress veritabanı yedeklerini manuel olarak nasıl oluşturacağınızı göstermiştik.

Ancak WordPress ile ilgili en iyi şey, her şeyi yapmak için birden fazla seçeneğinizin olmasıdır.

Bu eğitimde BackWPup kullanarak nasıl ücretsiz WordPress yedeği oluşturacağınızı göstereceğiz.

Making complete WordPress backup for free with BackWPup

Neden WordPress Yedeği Oluşturmalısınız?

Her web sitesi sahibi, bir kaza durumunda verilerinin güvende kalmasını sağlamak için düzenli web sitesi yedekleri oluşturmalıdır.

Web sitenizin verilerini etkileyebilecek birçok şey vardır, örneğin:

  • Web sitenize kötü amaçlı kod enjekte eden web sitesi kötü amaçlı yazılımı.
  • Web sitesi verilerinizi kilitleyen fidye yazılımı.
  • İnsan veya sunucu hatası nedeniyle önemli web sitesi dosyalarının veya verilerinin yanlışlıkla silinmesi.

Şimdi, WordPress barındırma şirketinizin düzenli yedeklemeler sunduğunu düşünebilirsiniz.

Ancak deneyimlerimize göre bu yedeklemelerin güvenilmez olduğunu gördük. Hosting şirketi verilerinizi kaybederse ne olur? Ya da hesabınızı herhangi bir nedenle askıya alırlarsa ve verilerinizi geri vermeyi reddederlerse?

Bu yüzden her zaman kendi WordPress yedeklerinizi oluşturmalısınız.

Bu mükemmel WordPress yedekleme eklentilerinden birini kullanarak tüm yedekleme sürecini otomatikleştirmenin birkaç yolu vardır.

Not: BackWPup yedekleri yalnızca manuel olarak geri yüklenebilir. Bu nedenle, en iyi WordPress yedekleme çözümü olan ve güvenilir site geri yükleme ve taşıma özellikleriyle tanınan Duplicator‘ı kullanmanızı öneririz.

Bununla birlikte, BackWPup kullanarak nasıl kolayca WordPress yedeği oluşturabileceğimize bakalım

BackWPup Kullanarak WordPress Yedeği Oluşturma

Bu eğitimde, ücretsiz bir WordPress yedeği oluşturmak için BackWPup’ı kullanacağız.

Öncelikle BackWPup eklentisini yüklemeniz ve etkinleştirmeniz gerekir. Daha fazla ayrıntı için WordPress eklentisi yükleme hakkındaki eğitimimize bakın.

Adım 1: Bir Yedekleme İşi Oluşturun

Eklenti etkinleştirildikten sonra BackWPUP ” Yeni iş ekle sayfasını ziyaret etmeniz gerekir. BackWPup’ta bir iş, yapmak istediğiniz yedekleme hakkında eklentiye verdiğiniz bir dizi talimattır.

Create a new backup job

İlk olarak, işiniz için bir isim verin. Bu, bu yedeklemenin ne yaptığını hatırlamanıza yardımcı olacak herhangi bir şey olabilir. Örneğimizde “Haftalık WordPress Yedekleme” adını kullanıyoruz.

Bunun altında, bu yedekleme işinin gerçekleştirmesini istediğiniz görevleri seçin. Tüm seçenekleri işaretlemenizi öneririz.

‘İş Hedefi’ bölümüne doğru biraz aşağı kaydırın. Yedeklemeyi nerede saklamak istediğinizi buradan seçebilirsiniz.

Backup destination

Yedekleme dosyalarını sunucunuzda saklayabilir, e-posta ile gönderebilir, FTP’ye yedekleyebilir ve Dropbox, Amazon S3, Windows Azure, Rackspace ve SugarSync’e yükleyebilir.

Ne yaparsanız yapın, yedekleri sunucunuzda SAKLAMAYIN. Bu, web sitenizin kaydedilmiş bir kopyasının başka bir yerde saklanması olan yedekleme oluşturma amacını ortadan kaldırır.

Bu eğitim için Dropbox kullanacağız.

Bir seçeneğin seçilmesi İş menüsüne yeni bir sekme ekleyecektir.

Önemli: Ayarlarınızı kaydetmek için ‘Değişiklikleri kaydet’ düğmesine tıklamayı unutmayın.

Şimdi, yedeğinizi saklamak istediğiniz hedefin adını taşıyan yeni sekmeye geçin. Örneğin, Dropbox’ı seçerseniz, ‘Kime’ başlıklı bir sekme göreceksiniz: Dropbox’ başlıklı bir sekme göreceksiniz.

Connect dropbox

Buradan, bulut hesabı ayarlarınızı yapılandırabilirsiniz. Örneğin, Dropbox’ı seçtiyseniz, ayarlamak için ‘Dropbox App auth kodunu al’ düğmesine tıklamanız yeterlidir. Ardından, uygulamanın Dropbox hesabınıza erişmesine izin vermeniz ve yedeklemeleriniz için bir klasör ayarlamanız istenecektir.

Bundan sonra, ayarlarınızı kaydetmek için ‘Değişiklikleri kaydet’ düğmesine tıklayın.

Adım 2: Yedeklemenizi Zamanlayın

Ardından, Zamanlama sekmesine geçmeniz gerekir. ‘İşi başlat’ seçeneğinin altında ‘WordPress cron ile’ seçeneğini seçin.

Start schedule

WordPress cron, zamanlanmış görevleri çalıştırmak için kullanılan yerleşik WordPress sistemidir.

Şimdi, biraz aşağı kaydırın ve yedekleme işi sıklığınızı seçin. Web sitenizin içeriğini ne sıklıkta güncellediğinize bağlı olarak haftalık veya aylık bir program seçmenizi öneririz.

Set backup schedule frequency

Bundan sonra, ayarlarınızı kaydetmek için ‘Değişiklikleri kaydet’ düğmesine tıklayın.

Adım 3: Yedeklemeye Nelerin Dahil Edileceğini Seçin

Şimdi, yedeklemeye neleri dahil etmek veya hariç tutmak istediğinizi seçmeniz gerekir.

‘DB Yedekleme’ sekmesine geçin ve yedeklemenize dahil etmek istediğiniz tabloları seçin. Emin değilseniz, tüm tabloları seçmelisiniz.

Select database tables

Ayarlarınızı kaydetmek için ‘Değişiklikleri kaydet’ düğmesine tıklayın.

Daha sonra, ‘Dosyalar’ sekmesine geçin. Buradan, yedeklemenizden hangi dosyaların hariç tutulacağını seçebilirsiniz.

Emin değilseniz, varsayılan seçenekleri olduğu gibi bırakın.

Ecclude files from backup

Ayarlarınızı kaydetmek için tekrar ‘Değişiklikleri kaydet’ düğmesine tıklayın.

Şimdi, ‘XML dışa aktarma’ sekmesine geçmeniz gerekiyor. Buradan, tüm içeriğinizin WordPress uyumlu bir XML dışa aktarma dosyasını oluşturabilirsiniz.

Export XML

Varsayılan seçenekler çoğu web sitesi için işe yarayacaktır.

Değişikliklerinizi kaydedin ve ardından ‘Eklentiler’ sekmesine geçin.

Burada, yedekleme eklentisi WordPress web sitenizde yüklü olan tüm eklentilerin bir metin listesini oluşturacaktır.

Plugin list backup

Son olarak, ayarlarınızı kaydetmek için ‘Değişiklikleri kaydet’ düğmesine tıklayın.

Adım 4: Yedekleme İşini Çalıştırın

Artık bir yedekleme işi oluşturduğunuza göre, bu işi ilk kez çalıştırmanız gerekir.

BackWPup ” İşler sayfasına gidin ve daha önce oluşturduğunuz işin altındaki ‘Şimdi çalıştır’ bağlantısına tıklayın.

Run backup job

Eklenti şimdi yedekleme işini çalıştıracak ve size ilerleme durumunu gösterecektir.

Bu, web sitenizin boyutuna bağlı olarak biraz zaman alabilir. İşlem tamamlandığında bir başarı mesajı göreceksiniz.

Backup complete

Artık hedef kaynağı (Dropbox veya daha önce seçtiğiniz diğer depolama seçeneği gibi) ziyaret ederek yedekleme dosyasını doğrulayabilirsiniz.

BackWPup’ta WordPress Yedekleme İşlerinde Sorun Giderme

Bir yedekleme işini çalıştırmak, barındırma sunucunuzda ekstra yüke neden olabilir. Bu, tamamlanmamış yedekleme işlerine neden olabilir.

Ayrıca, çoğu paylaşılan barındırma hizmetinde, bir komut dosyasının ne kadar zaman veya bellek tüketebileceğine dair bir sınır vardır. Sunucunuz BackWPup’ı zaman veya bellek sınırını aştığı için durdurduğunda, bir süre bekler ve ardından işleme devam eder. Bu durumda, bir yedekleme işinin bitmesi biraz zaman alacaktır.

Bunu düzeltmek için yapmanız gereken ilk şey PHP bellek limitinizi artırmak, ardından BackWPup ” Ayarlar ‘a gidin ve ‘İşler’ sekmesine tıklayın.

BackWPup troubleshooting

‘İş adımları için maksimum yeniden deneme sayısı’ seçeneğini artırın. Varsayılan değer 3’tür ve bunu 5’e yükseltebilir ve bunun sizin için işe yarayıp yaramadığını görebilirsiniz.

Bundan sonra, ‘Sunucu yükünü azalt’ seçeneğine ilerlemeli ve ‘orta’ ya da ‘minimum’ sunucu yükü seçeneğini seçmelisiniz.

Son olarak, ayarlarınızı kaydetmek için en alttaki ‘Değişiklikleri kaydet’ düğmesine tıkladığınızdan emin olun.

Web Sitenizi Yedekten Geri Yükleme

Ne yazık ki BackWPup tek tıkla geri yükleme özelliğine sahip değildir. Bu yüzden web sitenizi farklı yedekleme dosyalarından manuel olarak geri yüklemeniz gerekecektir.

Ayrıntılı talimatlar için WordPress’i yedekten geri yükleme hakkındaki makalemize bakın ve veritabanı ve WordPress dosyaları için manuel geri yükleme talimatlarını izleyin.

Daha kolay geri yükleme seçeneği olan bir WordPress yedekleme eklentisi istiyorsanız, bunun yerine Duplicator kullanmanızı öneririz. Duplicator ‘ın daha az yedekleme seçeneğine sahip ücretsiz bir sürümü de bulunmaktadır.

    1. The backups on your hosting service provider are sometimes not available. Also these backups could get compromised. Sometimes web hosting companies may even terminate your account without giving you enough time to get your files. In all these scenarios, and there are many others too, the user looses the access to their backup files.

    2. Saving backups on the same server as your website actually defeats the purpose of backing up in the first place. For example, if the security of your server is compromised then your backup files could get affected too. This would make it immensely difficult for you to restore your website.

    • Michael Einstein says

      OK.. I understand and this makes sense.. So would the WordPress Backup to Dropbox be a good option as an alternate place to store the backups, or perhaps to my google drive? Although I do worry a bit that these sites aren’t totally secure either. Only other option is if I can configure a backup to go to an external drive I have on my home computer that gets backed up everynight to a cloud-based backup.. That way I would have it on my home computer AND on the cloud. But this won’t work if my home computer is turned-off, although it is “usually on”.
      Michael

  3. Michael Einstein says

    A few Newbie questions here:
    1) If I use Bluehost for a hosted WordPress site, that comes with daily backups of my entire site. Why would I also need a seperate wordpress backup solution? Couldn’t I always just restore my site if anything ever happened through my cPANEL in Bluehost?
    2) In this article, it says: “Whatever you do, DO NOT store the backups on your server.” Why? Isn’t this a good/secure place to store your backup since it also will get backed-up? Where else would I store it? Dropbox?? That actually sounds less safe and secure then in a dedicated directory somewhere on my hosting server.
    Thanks for the help!
    Regards,
    Michael

    • Duncan McCormack says

      It’s redundancy surely.

      I think it’s a good idea to either use another backup technology (plugins) as well as your hosted provider method.

      I also think it’s a good idea to download your hosted provider backups and put ’em elswhere (on your work/home PC?) – but I’m happy to trust cloud technology providers, particularly Google and Microsoft. I reckon Dropbox are pretty trustworth too, eh? Surely. :)

  4. tealady46 says

    I’ve followed the tutorial and am being told that it’s all backed up but when I’ve checked in my dropbox folder, I can’t see it. Any ideas??

    • Eloise says

      There will be a separate BackWPup folder in your Dropbox – it’s not immediately obvious, so have a look around. Took me a couple of mins to find it when I first started doing using BackWPup too!

  5. Vitaliy Kolos says

    OK, I’ve backed up my files, database, list of plugins, but now I’m sort of stuck because I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do next. I mean I know I’m supposed to restore certain files, but I’m afraid that I’ll override something that I actually need. Do I just leave wp-config.php alone and update the rest or what am I supposed to do next?

  6. harishchouhan says

    I have been using BackWPup since a while, but the “This APP will have access to your entire DropBox” scares me. With so many security issues being exploited every now and then, one wrong step, and I hope my DropBox data is not compromised.

  7. Carole says

    If you do a daily backups to Dropbox, do the files with changes replace the existing files or is a complete new backup added each day? My ecomm website seems to be 5GB so that could quickly blow through even 100GB of Dropbox storage.

  8. Pali Madra says

    As usual a great tutorial.

    I did want to point out that in the first tab, which is called General, under the job details section the option to optimize database tables is not there anymore. Is this the case with me only or is it the same for everyone?

    Thanks.

  9. E.D Gasçon says

    Hey Syed, Thanks for sharing this info. This is a great article. I’m using Updraftplus backup/restore. I have a question please. This may sound silly… sending daily backups to the cloud (Dropbox) as opposed to weekly backups, would that take more storage space? If earlier versions of files are deleted then why am I running out of space so quickly? I’m not really adding much content to my sites (I’m not a blogger). I’m such a newb! Thanks

  10. Alison Kirksey says

    First, let me say that WPBeginner has been awesome to work with thus far and saved my bacon more than once as I navigate this tricky new world of WP.org.
    I just followed this tutorial (I thought) to the letter. I keep getting a message that stops my back up. It says:
    ERROR: Could not generate a WordPress export file
    I’m such a newb, and don’t know what to do. What am I missing?

    • WPBeginner Support says

      There could be several reasons for that. Please contact the plugin support thread for more help.

      1. Incorrect file permissions on your WordPress site will prevent the plugin from storing the backup file.
      2. Try changing the archive file type from zip to tar or tar.gzip
      3. Try creating a new backup job using different settings.

  11. Vibeke says

    Thanks for a very user-friendly tutorial. It worked well when installing the plugin and scheduling the back-up frequency, but I see now that the BackWPup menu item is no longer visible in my WordPress admin sidebar, and I cannot see any other place to edit the scheduled back-ups etc.

    I would appreciate any help.

    Many thanks in advance!

    Hello Guys, Like Your Tut.. I Want you to give me a solution for my Network .. I am using MU and Want to store Media Files , Database and such other things to backup from the Network Admin Panel.

  13. Allie says

    Hi and thanks so much for the great tutorial. I’ve installed BackWPup on your recommendation. My web designer set my blog up back in June and I’ve never backed it up. It’s been bugging me all along, I’m not so good with the techy stuff, and I didn’t know how to do it. This plugin seems really easy to use but unfortunately I’m running into problems. Every time I start a backup job, it gets stuck at 57%. I’ve clicked over to the php Memory Limit post you’ve linked to, but I am just not understanding… I can find the wp-config.php file in my c-panel, but when I click “edit,” I don’t see anything there with regard to memory limit. I’d be so grateful if you could spell it out for me, I am truly a beginner so please talk to me like I’m a first-grader! Thanks so much in advance :)

    • WPBeginner Support says

      wp-config.php file is located in your website’s root directory. You can access it by using a web based “File manager” such as one located under Files in your cPanel dashboard. If you can not edit a file in the file manager, you can always download it to your computer and open it in a text editor like notepad. After that you can edit the file and upload it back to your website using the file manager.

    Any chance this works with Google Drive? They offer more free storage, and are cheaper in the long run. Thanks, very interesting post.

  16. Mike says

    Hi there, thanks for tutorial but as i use already this plugin, my question concerns its compatibility with Optimize Database after Deleting Revisions plugin. Can i use this one as well in complement to BackWPUP or does BackWPUP optimize as well ?

    Thank you very much

    BR
    M

    • WPBeginner Support says

      The plugin you mentioned deletes posts revisions stored in your database and optimizes it. We believe there is no reason these two plugins should have a conflict. However, if you create a backup before deleting post reivisions, BackWPup will obviously backup the post revisions which you are later going to delete. So when you restore your website those posts will be back. The solution to this problem is that you manually run BackWPUp after deleting your post revisions.

    Your tutorial was immensely helpful ,
    1. you helped me finalize one awesome plugin
    2. It was a cakewalk after reading your tutorial (you didn’t miss a thing :) )
    3. you wrote a restore tutorial ( If in case )

    just love your site . thank you .

  20. Maggie says

    Thank you for the article. I followed your instructions step-by-step and it worked out easily! I have successfully backed up my blog to S3.

    Just one more thing to curious about. During set up the back up job, you mentioned in the article that “We would recommend that you do not backup core WordPress files.”
    Could you also explain why? Because I am totally new to WordPress, and I need to make sure I had my whole site backed up. I was feeling nervous to un-tick those boxes without understanding why to do it.

    • Naren P says

      Because you can always download the latest version of wordpress core files in zip format through this website https://wordpress.org/download/. keep in mind, the “database” and the “wp-content” are the two most important part to be backed up on a regular basis. With your wp-content and database file, you can restore or even migrate your site to any hosting.

  21. Ann Courtney says

    Hi, can you tell me if this will backup galleries of photos on my site or only the Blog text?

  22. Jaime Jay says

    Thanks so much for this article… I found it very useful… However, I did encounter some challenges with Dropbox, so I just used my FTP for the backup. Now, the challenge of actually finding the backup in my http://FTP... lol… thanks again!

  23. Charlie Sasser says

    Great tutorial! I’m currently using BackWPup but still picked up a few new things.

    …however you said: “Whatever you do, DO NOT store the backups on your server.”

    I understand why you are saying this but as long as the “one” stored on your own server is not the “only” backup, I actually think it is a good idea.

    I have daily backups created and sent to Drop Box, Gmail, and one to a backup folder on the web server. It is a lot easier to use the one in the backup folder on the server if needed. If the whole web server crashes and burns and I lose the local backup, I still have the backups at Drop Box and Gmail.

    If you store “a” copy on your web server, you need to make sure your backup is not backing up your backups by excluding that directory. Nothing like learning the hard way. :-)

    If I’m using Wordfence Plugin is the fact that BackupBuddy and VaultPress do malware scanning still of value?

    • Editorial Staff says

      Charlie,

      If you are storing backups on your server, then make sure those directories are protected. Because if someone gets their hands on the backup and download it, then your site can be compromised because they can use the database to find necessary information to login.

      WordFence is nice, but we’d say that 2 layers of security is better than one :)

      Yönetici

    • Peter says

      Charlie,
      My CPanel host included anti-virus software that could manually check for a virus within directories, but it’s a waste of time as it won’t scan for a virus deliberately hidden within compressed backup files stored on the server usually created prior to downloading. So, when my site was hacked, the “shell program” of the virus/trojan, had been stored in the compressed backup “tar” file. When I downloaded it onto my computer it too failed to detect it, as did most popular Antivirus programs. So unless you know the host antivirus program works, it’s not worth relying on, I found that out the hard way too, the virus turned out to be a popular “PHP Trojan”, hard to find for the novice.One “free” program that actually found it without decompressing the “tar” file was Avast V7, but sadly the current version causes my SCSI based system to crash almost instantly, hence I reverted to MES, it doesn’t scan compressed files, but neither does it crash my system.

  24. Tom Jamieson says

    This is a great tutorial on how to use this plugin. Do you have any opinion on how it compares to the Backup to Dropbox plugin?

  25. Marc Connor says

    Excellent article guys, great and easy instructions.

    However, I must agree with Peter, the most crucial part of a backup is the restoration. No matter how nice and easy or fun the backup process of any tool is, if the restoration part of it is difficult and/or buggy, it’s a big bust.

    Any thoughts, comments and/or other feedback on the restoration part of the BackWPUp plugin?

    Sincerely,
    Marc

    • Peter says

      Exactly the point Marc, I agree, having backups are fine, I had several backup files compressed in an unfamiliar to me “tar” format (My host site did not give me a choice). It took some time to work out how to un-compress them, let alone how to transfer them back over to a compromised site and into their respective folders. Due to the frustration of not knowing how to do that, I gave up and totally rebuilt the site; luckily I copies of text and graphics files.
      Since then I learned how to use the free File Transfer Program “FileZilla” to transfer files and directories onto my host site and overwrite existing files. Initially that was a nervous learning exercise, but I now do it regularly and reliably.
      How many WP admins actually know how to backup and restore their sites in case of a major disaster? I had several backups, but did not know how to restore them successfully.
      Sure there are affordable paid services out there, but for a simple hobby blog site, that may not be viable. The aim is to make a blog site or website as cheap as possible for the novice. However, once many hours have been spent setting up a website, how many sysops are actually willing to risk using a “Restore” function in a plugin program just to prove that it actually works when needed? I did not, and when it came to the crunch where I had no choice, it failed to work. Based on that experience, I would not try a “Restore” via Plugin unless I also knew how to do that manually in case the automated process failed.
      There are viable alternatives, generally on the host site, but they all need to be mastered. My host used the popular CPanel hosting which has several programs capable of file transfer and backup, but the “restore process” is not as straight forward.
      In my humble opinion, the ideal time to try to “restore a site” is when it has just been setup, with the minimum work spent on it, just in case it doesn’t work and one needs to start over. This site is aptly named WPbeginner hence restoring a crashed site is just as important as setting it up in the first place.

        • Peter says

          Thanks Editorial staff, had I known and tried out one of these methods before our site was hacked, it would have saved me many reconstruction hours.
          I used FileZilla as described in your tutorial, but I was forced to learn that the hard way.
          Sadly, most novices only do this after disaster has struck and are then forced to learn the hard way.
          On another note, and if not already done, I would like to see an easy way of changing the font size and background colour or shading of blogs and replies in the twenty ten theme, e.g. blogs light blue with replies light green etc., but without resorting to program changes in the style sheets.
          However, if that is the only practical way, then a detailed step by step tutorial on how to do that, without learning extensive programming, but including samples of typical results would also help.
          Great site, keep it up.

  26. Sidd says

    The one service that always works in every scenario (but is not free) is VaultPress.

    Where BackWPup(free), Snapshot by WPMU(premium) and inbuilt backups of ManageWP(premium) failed, only VaultPress passed.

  27. Roy Hornsby says

    Thanks for the article, currently I’m using WPB2D but after reading this I think I’ll try out BackWPup.

    It would be useful to read a tutorial on how to restore WordPress from a backup. Is there one on WPBeginner?

    cheers

  28. Gerald Thulbourn says

    All well and good if you can get BackWPup working. Past experience is that it dislikes running on many hosts and each update seems to bring in more problems, not fewer. Usually followed by a flury of bug fix subsequent updates. I live the idea, especially backup to drop box, but it just comes across as somewhat flaky.

  29. Arsalan says

    Nice article. I currently use WP Backup for this purpose but have found it to be limited in flexibility/functionality and have compatibility issues with newer versions of WordPress.

  30. mary says

    I read that this plugin needs PHP 5.2.6.

    I have no understanding of what or where that is.

    Also, are the drop boxes free as well? Thanks Mary

    • Editorial Staff says

      Mary, Dropbox is free up until a certain point. After that you have to pay. PHP 5.2.6 is something that your host will have to answer. It is just the version number of the script they have installed.

    Nice to discover this. Sometimes a good plugin and go undetectable from the WP plugin search box. This one looks like it will meet my needs. Thanks, guys.

  32. Peter says

    Great tutorial detailed and easily followed, unfortunately this is only half of what is needed.
    Reliable “Restoring” is the crucial other half, a detailed tutorial (aimed at the novice) on how to do this, using the BackWPup files saved in Dropbox would be great, especially for a system that had been compromised. I spent many hours restoring my site, including using a plugin called UpdraftPlus-Backup/Restore created by David Anderson. When I needed to do a Restore it failed and just froze. Why I never found out, probably my fault, I still run it and allow it to generate backup files to Dropbox, just cannot seem to make the “Restore” part work.

    However, since then I have learnt to use FileZilla FTP, that works every time and allows me to restore the site without problems including experimenting with different designs and trying out plugins, some that were found to be dodgy.
    .
    Sadly it took several hackers to crash my site and then for me to realise that some backup and restore plugins are just too unreliable or too difficult for me to use with confidence.
    Thanks for WP, great program, used it since 2009, currently using the “twenty ten theme”.

    • Editorial Staff says

      Hey Peter,

      Reliable storing comes at a price. If you notice that VaultPress has a $5/mo. plan, and it is hassle-free. In order for you to setup a S3 environment and do all that, it would take time and money after a certain point. BackupBuddy has Stash which aims to ease things up, but again its a paid plugin.

    thanks for this free plugin. I am new with Word Press and I am just building my blog/website and I was wondering how can I backup accordingly.
    So this newsletter came at the perfect moment and actually all the tutorials are great indeed!

    Many thanks!

    Thanks for this great article!
    It’s great to see how much you like our Plugin :)
    I just want to add the point that there is also a BackWPup Pro version in our market. With premium support and of course additional features like differential backup of changed directories to Dropbox, S3… and many more.
    And how Syed mentioned: “The most important backup is the one that has never been made!”

    Cheers,
    Manuel
