WordPress backups; what's the state of things?
Looking for cheap and easy (BUT not sleazy).
Had an "incident" with a clients WHC account late last year and caught with my pants down: https://cybernews.com/news/a-maj….
SUUUCCCKKKEEED and thought we lost 100's of hours of work and a loyal clients site with 0 backup.
I know; my fault as well as the host BUT NEVER AGAIN!!!
XOXO to you and yours.
- I guess IDEALLY Google Drive based as my business is heavily invested in that world.
Missin' Dropbox brothers/sisters.ideaist - there must be a cheap plugin that you can use to store files at a remote location. Make sure backup is not happening on same server.hotroddy
- Most hosting platforms offer backup. We use AWS Snapshots.

We also use Updraft to backup to Google Drivedbloc - any decent wordpress hosting does all of this for you, look at Siteground or WP Engine.fadein11
- ManageWP, daily backups $2/month. Great service, I use them to manage backups and updates on 180+ WP sites. https://managewp.com…elahon
- I'll clarify, $2 per website/month, $75 up to 100 websites/month. Still a good deal and they have packs with other services like downtime monitor, scans, etc.elahon
- ask your hosting provider if they recommend a Wordpress plugin or Plesk/Cpanel plugin.hotroddy
- ^oops ignorehotroddy
- I use Updraft to backup to Dream Objects but you can use Google Drive like dbloc wrote.oey_oey
- +.what fadein11 wrote.oey_oey
- I also use ManageWP but don't use the backup service as I already had all set previouslyoey_oey
- I prefer to host with WP Engine for peace of mind and reliable automated backups. I also double-up with ManageWP.nocomply
- As others have mentioned, you can also check out Updraft or BackupBuddynocomply
