The Best Plugins to make a complete Backup on WordPress

Any website needs a constant backup, so that in case of problems of various kinds, you can recover your work in a short time. WordPress is the most widespread CMS in the world that allows you to create websites easily for everyone, and through the use of plugins you can add the automatic backup function in a few steps.

It may happen that after updates to some plugins, themes or even after a hacker attack the site is compromised and restore to a previous backup may be the fastest solution to get it back online operational and working. We have selected the best WordPress plugins for you to create and manage complete and customizable backups.

WordPress Backup: Use these Plugins

  • Updraft Plus
  • Duplicator
  • BackupBuddy

WordPress Backup: UpdraftPlus

UpdraftPlus for WordPress allows you to have a complete and functional backup system as well as free in the basic version. With this plugin you can perform the automatic export and create rules to export a WordPress website in full. The powerful WordPress plugin allows you to make a complete backup of the directory on your computer, external disk, mail, directory synchronized on the Cloud on your computer, etc.

The real power UpdraftPlus WordPress Backup Plugin is that it integrates with the Amazon S3 cloud systems, Dropbox, Google Drive, Rackspace Cloud, DreamObjects, FTP, Swift Openstack, UpdraftPlus Vault and also via email. Once installed and activated the plugin on WordPress after choosing the service to backup, I chose Dropbox, and once logged in with your credentials you will have the opportunity to choose among the options to include in the database backup, Include all files from backup or To store the backup in the selected memory. Once the configuration is complete, we can start the backup and set up the automatic backup as well.

UpdraftPlus is available for free but there is also a paid version that integrates a personal cloud system, updates and dedicated support but still in the Free version is fully functional.

WordPress Backup: Duplicator

Duplicator is a fantastic plugin that allows you to migrate and move an entire site from one domain to another with attached files and databases with related changes to the website address but also to schedule a local backup and schedule a backup on FTP, Dropbox, Google Drive or Amazon S3.

Once installed on the site you want to migrate, simply open the menu from the entry in the dashboard, select the files and databases to be migrated and in a few minutes, depending on the size of your website, you will create a package in .ZIP format that contains all your site and then we will have to import it on the new website.

The package will be created by Duplicator automatically and will check the consistency of the package so as not to get nasty surprises when we will migrate to the new site. At the end of the process we will have an archive and an installer in .PHP format that we will have to copy into our web space via FTP, perhaps using FileZilla, copying archive and .PHP files into the main ROOT. Now to move the website we simply need to access the installer file that can be reached at the address websitename.com/installer.php.

Once you open the file you will need to fill in some data, such as username, password and domain to start the migration. In a few clicks you will have migrated an entire site on the new domain with files, databases and addresses updated easily without slamming of long backups and lines of code to change the link of your domain.

WordPress Backup: BackupBuddy

Finally there is BackupBuddy which costs a good $80 and includes in addition to a complete backup system, starting from your files, databases, the entire site structure, even to store the backup on 1GB of dedicated space on the web. Moreover, through the integrated tool we can restore the backup in a few clicks going to select what to restore, if the database, individual files or folders, or everything.
