Description

UpdraftPlus Premium is the industry leader for WordPress backup, restoration, and migration. While the free version is powerful, the Premium version is an essential tool for mission-critical websites that require absolute data security. In 2026, it continues to set the standard with advanced features like incremental backups and automated “safety-net” backups before every site update.

As an all-in-one disaster recovery solution, it allows you to back up your files and databases directly to the cloud and restore them with a single click. The Premium version also includes specialized tools for handling complex environments like WordPress Multisite and large-scale migrations.

Key Features:

• Incremental Backups: Save server resources and storage space by only backing up the changes made since your last full backup, rather than re-copying the entire site every time.

• Automatic Backup Before Updates: Automatically creates a “safety” backup immediately before you update WordPress core, themes, or plugins. If an update breaks your site, you can restore it in seconds.

• Direct Site-to-Site Migration: Seamlessly move or clone your website between two connected sites with a built-in search-and-replace engine for database URLs.

• Expanded Cloud Storage: Unlocks professional storage destinations including Microsoft OneDrive, SFTP, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Backblaze B2, pCloud, and WebDAV.

• 1GB UpdraftVault Storage: Includes 1GB of integrated, ultra-reliable cloud storage so you don’t have to manage third-party accounts.

• Advanced Scheduling: Take full control over your backup timing; schedule backups for specific low-traffic hours (e.g., 3:00 AM) and set advanced retention rules to prune old backups automatically.

• Database Encryption: Keep sensitive user data and credentials secure by encrypting your database backups before they are sent to the cloud.

• Multisite/Multi-network Support: Fully compatible with WordPress Multisite, allowing you to back up and restore individual subsites within a network.
