Backup your database instantly, send the backup via email, or schedule backups to run automatically.
Database Backup for WordPress allows you to quickly back up your core WordPress database tables, and either download the backup as a gzipped file, or send it via email to an address you choose.
By default, the plugin will always back up all the core WordPress database tables. However, you may also selectively back up any custom tables that might be created by other plugins
Additional options include the ability to exclude spam comments from the comments table, or post revisions from the posts table, saving you space and bandwidth.
You can also enable scheduled backups to run automatically at set intervals, and configure the email address to send the scheduled backups to.
<h4>Backup Before You Mess Up</h4>
Backups are the one thing you don’t think of until you need them. You might have the best web host, the most secure server, and a tried and tested process for running plugin, theme, or core updates. But all it takes is one little thing to go wrong, and you lose your entire website.
You need a reliable and automated solution which backs up your WordPress data and sends it to an off-site location. Database Backup for WordPress is that solution.
<h4>Why You Should Back Up Your Website</h4>
As much planning as you do, any CMS like WordPress that stores its data in a database is vulnerable. Hardware, software, and security hiccups are rare, but they do happen. Even the best enterprise systems in the world have multiple levels of backup in place.
Think about the data you store in your WordPress site. Your blog posts since the day you launched the site. Your customers, products, and order history if you run an ecommerce site. Backups are like implementing an insurance policy for your data. With backups, you have a reliable way of restoring that data if anything goes wrong.
Simple, automated backups save you time and give you peace of mind that you are prepared for the worst case scenario, even if you never need it. Better to have it and not need it, than to not have it and suddenly need it.
<h4>Scheduled Backups</h4>
Depending on your needs, you might want to back up your database every few minutes, hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly. You’ll want to automate this process, or it becomes another possible point of failure.
Scheduled backups give you peace of mind that your data is being backed up as much or as little as you need, without your intervention. By emailing the backups to an email address you choose, you can verify that the backup has run, and store it in a safe location.

Database Backup for WordPress

Very good plugin thanks, it does what it says.

Works great

This is an excellent database plugin. I have daily host-level backups, and once a month I take a full cPanel backup, but as a belt and braces approach I now have daily database backups being sent to an email address, and filtered to a backup folder. Hope I never need them, but if I do I will be relieved to see these archived.

Install, activate, setup and forget ... until needed

Database Backup for WordPress is your one-stop database backup solution for WordPress.

<a href="https://wptimecapsule.com/" title="Incremental Backup for WordPress" rel="nofollow ugc">WP Time Capsule</a> was created to ensure peace of mind with WP updates and put the fun back into WordPress. It uses the cloud apps’ native file versioning system to detect changes and backs up just the changed files and db entries to your account.
You need to sign up for an account on our website https://service.wptimecapsule.com to get a 30 days full featured trial.
 
With WP Time Capsule you can
Backup in real-time 
You can backup your site in real-time which means you will now be able to revert your site to how it was just an hour ago. Also, you can change the backup interval to every 6 hours or 12 hours or daily. 
Staging 
With a single click staging it’s a breeze to test any change you are planning to do on your site. Test your updates on staging with a single click
Auto backup and update 
We automatically backup before each update, if an update causes any undesired change. You are a click away from restoring.
Encrypted DB backups & GDPR Compatible 
You can encrypt your DB backups to add an extra layer of security and makes your backup GDPR compatible. 
Clone/Migrate 
You can now use the WPTC backup to clone or migrate your site to a new location at ease.
How is WP Time Capsule different than other backup plugins? 
 
WPTC is unique in 4 ways – 
1. It backs up and restores only the changed files & DB and not the entire site every time. 
2. The files & DB are stored in your cloud storage app – Amazon S3, Wasabi, Backblaze, Dropbox or Google Drive. 
3. We have used the cloud apps’ native file versioning system to detect changes and maintain file versions. So backups and restores are as reliable as they get. 
4. Most importantly, you can backup your site in real-time which means you will now be able to revert your site to how it was just an hour ago. Also, you can change the backup interval to every 6 hours or 12 hours or daily. 
How does it work? 
 
1. Sign up an account on our website https://wptimecapsule.com and you will get a 30 days full featured trial. 
2. Install the plugin and login with your wptimecapsule.com account. 
3. Next, connect the cloud app where you want to store the backup files. You can use Amazon S3, Wasabi, Dropbox or Google Drive. 
4. Once you connect the cloud app, we will automatically begin backing up your complete website to your cloud app account.
After the first full backup is taken, you can schedule a time for WPTC to backup your websites. We will take care of your backups from here on. 
This being done you will officially be disaster-ready. 🙂
Backup: Looks for files & DB changes since the last backup and uploads only the changes. The data is then stored securely in your cloud app account. 
 
Restore: Checks revision history and displays the same. You can restore the site to any point in time or restore specific files & DB.
How is it better? 
BACKUP METHOD 
Traditionally – Backups are compressed and zipped. The Bad: Heavy server resource consumption. 
WPTC – No zipping. Changed files are directly dropped into your cloud account. The Good: Uses considerably less server resources
BACKUP FILE 
Traditionally – Multiple zip files are created every time you backup. The Bad: Precious storage space is wasted. 
WPTC – Backs up incrementally. No multiple copies of files. The Good: Uses far less disk space
RESTORE 
Traditionally – Unzip backup and restore the whole site. The Bad: Consumes time and server resource. 
WPTC – Restores only selected files. The Good: Faster restore and you can restore even if you don’t have access to your site or plugin.
