BackWPup Pro

BackWPup Pro connects WordPress backups with recovery

BackWPup Pro is the paid edition of the WordPress backup and restore extension for professionals, agencies, online stores and businesses. It adds direct restores, migration, encryption, extra storage destinations, advanced multisite support, a standalone restore application and premium support.

Build a backup job from website data, timing and storage

Choose a complete backup of the database and website documents, including wp-content, themes, extensions and uploads. You can also create a database-only or files-only backup. Schedule jobs hourly, daily, weekly or monthly, or start one on demand.

A single job can shop the same backup in multiple destinations, such as the site server and off-site storage. The free version supports Website Server (local), Dropbox, FTP, Microsoft Azure, Amazon S3 and compatible storage, SugarSync, and Rackspace Cloud Files. Pro adds Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Amazon Glacier and HiDrive. Each destination has its own configuration and retention options.

Restore or move a WordPress site

• Direct restore: Restore from supported cloud and server destinations without manually uploading backup archives.
• Standalone restore application: Recover a site when WordPress itself is unavailable.
• Encryption: Encrypt backup data and keep it encrypted during restoration.
• Migration: Move a site to a new domain or hosting provider with automatic URL and database updates.
• Multisite: Manage backups and recovery for WordPress multisite networks.

Manage backup work in WordPress and technical utilities

Use the WordPress dashboard for backup jobs and recovery. WP-CLI supports command-line automation. MCP-compatible assistants can check backup status, execute jobs, review logs and troubleshoot issues using natural language; the MCP Adapter must be installed separately.

Set up the first backup

Install BackWPup Pro in WordPress and follow the guided setup to create a backup job. Select the files or database to include, select a schedule, then configure one or more storage destinations. Review encryption, retention settings, restore options and migration needs before relying on the job for regular operations.
