Category: Backup & Migration

A backup plugin is judged on the day something breaks, which is why the differences between them matter more than any feature table suggests. This section covers two overlapping jobs: scheduled backups with off-site storage – UpdraftPlus Premium, BlogVault, BackupBuddy, Jetpack Security, VaultPress, WPMU DEV Backup – and full-site migration – Duplicator Pro and the All-in-One WP Migration family with its storage and multisite extensions. Several plugins do both jobs at different quality levels. When comparing, look past backup frequency to the parts that only matter in an incident: restore speed, whether backups live on the same server as the site, and how the tool behaves when the site is half-broken. The reviews below test exactly those cases.
