Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about BackWPup – WordPress Backup & Restore Plugin
Open BackWPup in your WordPress admin and follow the setup. Choose what to back up, set a schedule, pick a storage destination, and save. You can run a backup immediately with a single click.
Go to your backups in the BackWPup dashboard, select the backup you want, and restore. In the free version you can restore backups you upload manually; BackWPup Pro lets you restore directly from any storage destination, including the cloud.
Yes, BackWPup Free includes full database and file backups, automated scheduling, multiple cloud storage destinations, restore functionality, and support for both WP-CLI and MCP (Model Context Protocol). BackWPup Pro adds direct cloud restores, encryption, website migration, advanced multisite capabilities, the standalone restore application, and premium support.
On your own web space, in the cloud, or both at once. A single backup job can store the same backup across multiple destinations, so you can combine local and cloud storage for extra protection. The free version includes Website Server (local), Dropbox, FTP, Microsoft Azure, Amazon S3 and compatible storage, SugarSync, and Rackspace Cloud Files; Pro adds Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Amazon Glacier, and HiDrive. Each destination has its own settings, including how many backups to retain, and if one storage destination becomes unavailable, your backups stored in other destinations remain available.
Yes, with BackWPup Pro. Migration restores your backup to a new URL and updates the database automatically, so you can move hosts or change domains without a manual rebuild.
Yes. BackWPup supports WP-CLI in both Free and Pro, so you can trigger and automate backups from the command line and in your deployment scripts.
It lets you manage your backups by chatting with an AI assistant like Claude Desktop, GitHub Copilot, or OpenAI Codex, for example, "run a backup before I update my plugins" or "was my last backup successful?" You don't need to write code. You connect your site once, then manage backups in plain language. It's available in BackWPup 5.7 and later.
No. Your backups and site data stay on your WordPress install. The assistant connects to your site through a secure, credentialed connection and acts on your behalf, so your site remains the source of truth.
BackWPup is designed to run across a wide range of WordPress hosting environments and supports WordPress multisite. If you run into a host-specific issue, our documentation and support can help.
