As great as WordPress is, it’s not immune to security threats, cyber attacks, and data breaches<\/strong> that can tarnish a company’s reputation. Apart from these dangers, a Backpage misconfiguration can threaten a website’s integrity. In any event, site owners should prepare for the worst by having a backup from which full functionality can be restored. Below is a WordPress Backup PlugIn list that can make the data backup <\/a>and restoration processes easier.<\/p>\n

BackupBuddy<\/h3>\n

BackupBuddy is one of the most popular WordPress backup plugin options. It allows users to schedule monthly, weekly, or daily backups<\/strong>, and it stores them in Dropbox, Stash, Rackspace Cloud, Amazon S3, or another cloud service. There’s no subscription fee, and users can use this plugin on a certain number of sites as outlined in the plan. It comes with access to regular updates, support forums, and a gigabyte of cloud storage<\/strong>. BackupBuddy can also be used to restore, duplicate, and migrate websites<\/a>.<\/p>\n

BackWPUp<\/h3>\n

With BackWPUp, users get a free<\/strong> WordPress PlugIn that allows them to create comprehensive backups<\/strong> and store them with any number of cloud services<\/strong>, send them in emails<\/strong>, or save them to a hard drive<\/strong>. It’s easy to use and allows users to schedule backups according to the site’s update settings. Restoration<\/strong> from a backup is simple, and the Pro version of BackWPUp comes with Google Drive storage, priority support, and other great features.<\/p>\n

BackUpWordPress<\/h3>\n

This is the WordPress Backup PlugIn to use if a site owner wants to create reliable, simple, and automated backups<\/strong>. After installation and activation, the plugin goes to work using default settings. If necessary, site owners can set a different backup schedule<\/strong> in the Settings menu. Although the WordPress Plugin itself is free<\/strong>, users can pay for extensions that increase the plugin’s functionality by linking it to cloud services such as Dropbox, Google Drive, and Windows Azure.<\/p>\n

Duplicator<\/h3>\n

This isn’t just a WordPress Backup PlugIn. It also gives users all the tools needed for site duplication and migration<\/strong>. It works by storing core files, databases, content, plugins, and WordPress Theme files into a single package. When the entire site is packed into a zip file, users can host it elsewhere<\/strong> or use the infrastructure to build a new site<\/strong>. However, users should know that Duplicator isn’t for WordPress beginners. While the process of creating a backup is very simple, it requires technical knowledge<\/strong> to use the packages created during the backup process.<\/p>\n

VaultPress<\/h3>\n

If a user needs more than a simple WordPress Backup PlugIn, VaultPress is the way to go. Along with the ability to create an automated backup<\/strong>, the plugin also scans the site’s databases for viruses, malware, and other security holes<\/strong>. VaultPress also comes with spam protection<\/strong> to maintain a site’s SEO and reputation, but users will have to pay a monthly fee<\/strong> to use it and its features. Although the cost may be too high for a new site owner, it’s good for those who have the budget to invest in WordPress security.<\/p>\n

Updraft Plus<\/h3>\n

This is a popular backup plugin that does nearly everything. It does backups<\/strong>, restorations<\/strong>, migrations<\/strong>, and site cloning<\/strong> all with one click. Users can also use advanced tools like site wide control and database search through UpdraftCentral. Although the plugin’s basic functions are free<\/strong>, a paid license allows users to encrypt backups, use backups from different plugins, back up a multisite network, and much more. This makes the UpdraftPlus tool useful on sites of any scale<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

BlogVault<\/h3>\n

The only thing better than backing up WordPress sites on a daily basis is doing it in real time<\/strong>, which is one of BlogVault’s core features. The tool works by making an instant backup<\/strong> whenever site changes are saved<\/strong>, and it ensures that site owners never lose progress<\/strong> during content and site development. BlogVault comes with history, testing, and backup monitoring<\/a> tools to preserve the integrity of a site’s data. The only drawback is that there’s an annual fee<\/strong> to pay before\u00a0the features can be accessed.<\/p>\n

In Closing<\/h3>\n

Creating regular, comprehensive backups is an important part of website maintenance<\/strong> and continuity assurance<\/strong>. However, site owners should remember to choose a WordPress Backup PlugIn that can help them meet their goals. Whether a webmaster needs a simple plugin or a comprehensive security solution, the options listed in this WordPress tutorial can help them make an informed decision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
