Only in WP BackupX

Your best restore point is rarely your newest. Keep it first.

Most backup plugins bury you in timestamps. Pin the freeze before a deploy, hide noise, and restore from the point that actually matters.

Hidden points stay on disk until retention removes them. Restore and recovery never wait on a licence check.

Everything you need

Backup WordPress properly. Nothing you do not.

01

Resumable backup steps

Time-boxed slices that survive gateway timeouts — files and database, with a restore point you can trust.

02

Fail-closed offsite

Local, SFTP, FTP/FTPS, S3-compatible and Dropbox. Retention never deletes a local copy until remote verify succeeds.

03

Restore that stays open

Recovery never waits on a licence check. Restore from a local point or an uploaded archive when you need it most.

04

Schedules & keep-N

Cron-driven backups with retention that only prunes after a verified ship — no silent remote loss.

05

Migrate, pull & staging

SSH clone, one-time pull keys, or same-server staging with push and rollback when you are ready.

06

Search & replace that holds

Serialization-safe URL and path rewrites for the hard cases WordPress throws at migrations.

Move sites without the circus

Migrate, pull and stage on the same tool that backs you up.

Push over SSH, pull with a one-time key, or clone to a staging subfolder with its own table prefix — then push live or roll back.

  • SSH / SFTP migrate with preflight and verify
  • Pull with a one-time key (front, REST or admin-ajax)
  • Same-server staging with push and rollback
  • Installer bundles for access-key protected transfers

Optional override

Prefer a fixed backup path? Set it in wp-config.

Otherwise BackupX picks a private path automatically and hardens it when it must live under the document root.

define( 'WPBX_BACKUP_PATH', '/var/backups/wp' );

Five steps

About five minutes. Then you sleep better.

  1. 1

    Install the plugin

    Network-aware for multisite. Activate and open the BackupX console.

  2. 2

    Connect your licence

    OAuth once from the Licence screen — seats bind to your site origin.

  3. 3

    Pick destinations

    Local private store, SFTP, S3, Dropbox or FTP — pin fingerprints where it matters.

  4. 4

    Run or schedule

    Create a restore point now, or let cron ship verified copies overnight.

  5. 5

    Restore when you need to

    One flow for files + database. Recovery stays available even offline.

Pricing

One price. Every feature. No meter.

Every destination, schedule, migrate and staging tool is in every plan. The only difference is how many sites you activate.

How to back up WordPress without hoping the upload finished

A backup that never leaves the server is only half a plan. One that claims to have uploaded, then quietly truncates, is worse. WP BackupX is built around resumable restore points and fail-closed offsite copies — size and checksum must match before retention is allowed to delete anything local.

1. Dump-and-pray plugins

Many tools zip everything in one request, then hope the gateway and the remote both cooperate. Large sites time out; partial archives look complete until the day you need them.

2. Host snapshots alone

Host-level snapshots are valuable, and they are not under your control when you change hosts, dispute a bill, or need a selective restore of uploads from Tuesday.

3. A plugin that verifies the copy

That is what WP BackupX does. Time-boxed steps, private local storage, verified destinations, schedules, migrate and staging — and restore that stays available even if a licence lapses mid-crisis.

Put a verified restore point between you and the next bad deploy.

Connect a destination, run a backup, sleep. Signed updates keep the plugin current without a second marketplace.
