Overview

BackWPup is a comprehensive WordPress plugin designed to enable users to back up their entire website, including the /wp-content/ directory, and store these backups on various external services such as Dropbox, S3, FTP, and more. Users can create a single backup in various formats such as .zip, tar, and tar.gz, and restore their websites with just a few clicks from the WordPress backend. The plugin also offers features like database backup, WordPress XML export, database optimization, plugin list generation, and more. While the free version provides substantial functionality, the premium BackWPup Pro version offers additional features like Amazon Glacier, Google Drive, OneDrive, and HiDrive backups, as well as encrypted backups and a standalone restore app, coupled with dedicated support.

FAQ

How do I restore a backup?

My backup jobs don’t seem to run as scheduled.

Yuk! It says: “ERROR: No destination correctly defined for backup!”

A backup job has started, but nothing seems to be happening—not even when I re-start it manually.

I get this error message: The HTTP response test get a error “Connection time-out”

I get a fatal error: Can not create folder: […]/wp-content/backwpup-[…]-logs in […]/wp-content/plugins/backwpup/inc/class-job.php …

When I edit a job the Files tab loads forever.

I generated a list of my installed plugins, but it’s hard to read.

My web host notified me BackWPup was causing an inacceptable server load!

Can I cancel a running backup job via FTP?

Can I move the temp directory to a different location?

What do those placeholders in file names stand for?
