BackupBliss – Backup Migration Staging Pro

BackupBliss - Backup Migration Staging Pro adds controls for preparing and storing WordPress backups. Use a completed backup to restore a site, move it to another host, or make a staging copy.

Choose backup contents and processing

A default backup includes the website except the extension’s own backups and the WordPress installation. To include the installation, select it under What will be backed up? Pro adds detailed file and database filters and smart exclusion rules, letting you choose which documents, folders, plugins, or database content to include or leave out.

Pro also supports faster backup creation, encryption, and Tar and GZip compression. Set a backup name, choose local or remote storage, and configure notification conditions. Automatic backups can execute daily, weekly, or monthly; Pro can also create backups before theme, plugin, or WordPress core updates.

Connect storage and schedule backups

Connect Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, pCloud, Amazon S3, Wasabi, SFTP, FTP, or BackupBliss Storage through the storage options. Backup files sync to the connected destination, and you can check progress in Manage & Restore Backup(s). Choose local storage, an external destination, or both where the configured options allow.

For recurring backups, choose a daily, weekly, or monthly interval, set the time and day, and select how many automatic backups to keep. Consider available storage when setting retention.

Restore, migrate, and stage a site

To restore a backup on the same site, open Manage & Restore Backup(s) and choose Restore beside the file. For a direct move to another site, copy the backup link on the source site, then paste it into Super-quick migration on the destination and select Restore now!. The source backup must be accessible by direct link. You can also upload a backup file and restore it from the management area, or connect external storage and restore a synced backup.

For testing, create a staging site on your server or machine, with an optional custom path, or choose TasteWP as an external WordPress sandbox. Select the backup file for the staging environment and start the process in the plugin settings.

Get started

Install and activate the plugin in WordPress, open its settings, and select Create backup now. Review the backup contents, then configure storage or a schedule as needed. The free version has a 4 GB backup limit due to WordPress ZIP limitations; Pro supports unlimited backup sizes and increased stability for larger sites.
