Your website is your asset and it needs to constantly be protected from various security issues, server issues, hacking, etc. While you take all precautionary steps to protect your website, backups are the best form of security. With Backuply, you can be confident that your data is protected and is always available for restore during any disaster. Backuply creates full backups of your website and you can restore it to the same or a new WordPress website with the click of a button.

<h3>Backups</h3>
Backup is a way of copying your data or files to a secure place, which can be used to restore your website in case of data loss. Backups are vital in securing the data that you have published or written. Backups with Backuply are easy and secure with support for multiple options of storage like local storage using FTP or using third-party services like Google Drive, Dropbox, Microsoft OneDrive, AWS S3 and WebDAV. 
To make it even easier we support Automatic Backups with a customizable backup schedule.

Restoring is just a One-Click process using Backuply. If the selected backup is available then Backuply will restore your backups safely. Restoring a backup will roll back your site in the exact same state as it was when the backup was created.
<h3>Migration</h3>
Backuply creates a tar file of your whole WordPress install with the Database, so you can migrate your site to any host or location where WordPress can be installed. All you need to do is create a Backup of your WordPress install on a remote location, and that’s it, It can be synced on any WordPress install with ease so you just need to restore the synced backup on the new location for Migration to happen.

Backuply – Backup, Restore, Migrate and Clone

One of the best


Great plugin. Much faster to backup the site than other plugins I have tested. It is simple, clean and does the job. Five stars from me!


Great plugin

A backup is only as good as its restore. SafeSnap verifies the restore path on every snapshot — not just the upload.
Most backup plugins tell you “backup succeeded” the moment the .zip lands on Drive. That’s not a backup. That’s a hopeful upload. SafeSnap re-extracts every snapshot into a sandbox container before we mark it green — so the day you actually need to restore, the archive opens.
Filter-only architecture: SafeSnap doesn’t enqueue front-end scripts, doesn’t touch your DOM, doesn’t add admin widgets you can’t dismiss. One job, done quietly.
<h3>Their complaint → Our answer</h3>
(12 patterns we mined from competitor 1-star reviews — May 2026)
<ul>
<li>“Failing restore every time for every hosting and every site I have.” → SafeSnap verifies the restore path on every snapshot. We re-extract into a sandbox before we tell you the backup succeeded.</li>
<li>“Free version doesn’t create a useable backup.” → Our free tier creates a fully restorable backup. Daily, complete, off-site. Forever.</li>
<li>“Didn’t work when needed.” → The only moment a backup plugin matters is the moment it has to restore. The whole product is built around that moment.</li>
<li>“Doesn’t do what it’s supposed to.” → Filter-only, single-purpose, no upsell maze — backups that just back up.</li>
<li>“All source and DB contents are pushed to author’s remote.” → Your backup goes to YOUR storage. Direct to Drive / S3 / Backblaze / R2. No relay through our servers, no telemetry, no surprises.</li>
<li>“Pointless trying to use Google Drive to authenticate.” → One-click cloud auth for Drive, Dropbox, S3, Backblaze B2, Cloudflare R2 — no OAuth merry-go-round, no expired-token loop.</li>
<li>“Not free.” → Daily backups, restore, off-site storage, host-to-host migration — free, forever. The free version isn’t a 30-day trial in disguise.</li>
<li>“Stop admin bloat.” → Zero ads in wp-admin. Zero upgrade nags. Zero dashboard widgets you can’t dismiss. Your wp-admin is your workspace, not our billboard.</li>
<li>“Cannot migrate to new hosting.” (because migration is paywalled in competitors) → Host-to-host migration is in the FREE tier. Bluehost → Kinsta → Hetzner → anywhere. Always was, always will be.</li>
<li>“Not great for large sites.” → Streaming chunked uploads + incremental snapshots. Works on 100MB blogs and 50GB WooCommerce shops alike.</li>
<li>“Can NOT recommend the PREMIUM version.” (founder-quality complaint) → Tim reads every Pro support email. Founder, not a ticket queue. Sub-24h response, no log-file ping-pong.</li>
<li>“PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT — End of Central Dir Record signature not found.” → That error is a backup that wasn’t a backup. SafeSnap verifies archive integrity before we tell you the snapshot succeeded — so this error never reaches restore day.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Free, forever — what’s in the box</h3>
<ul>
<li>Automatic daily backups — database + files, together, every 24 hours.</li>
<li>One-click restore — verified restore path on every snapshot.</li>
<li>Off-site storage — Google Drive, Dropbox, S3, Backblaze B2, Cloudflare R2. Direct to your bucket.</li>
<li>Host-to-host migration — move between Bluehost, Kinsta, WP Engine, Hetzner, anywhere. No paywall.</li>
<li>Incremental snapshots — only changed files re-uploaded. Works on 50GB shops.</li>
<li>WooCommerce-aware — order tables, product meta, customer data — all captured, all restorable.</li>
<li>7-day retention in free tier (configurable).</li>
<li>Filter-only architecture — can’t crash your front-end, doesn’t enqueue scripts.</li>
<li>No account required — install the plugin, use the plugin. We never ask for your email.</li>
</ul>
