Worried about losing your website data or struggling to migrate your WordPress site? The UpdraftPlus: WP Backup & Migration Plugin is a trusted solution used by over 3 million websites worldwide to back up, restore, and migrate WordPress installations with ease.

Backup with Confidence Using UpdraftPlus

UpdraftPlus is the world’s most popular and highest-rated scheduled backup plugin for WordPress. It lets you back up your entire website or selected components with just a few clicks. You can store your backups on your preferred remote storage service, including:

  • Google Drive
  • Dropbox
  • Amazon S3 (and compatible services)
  • Rackspace Cloud
  • FTP/SFTP

  • Email

Premium users get access to even more cloud options such as Microsoft OneDrive, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, WebDAV, Backblaze B2, SCP, pCloud, and UpdraftVault UpdraftPlus's integrated storage service.

Restore in Just a Few Clicks

Mistakes happen whether it’s a bad plugin update, a server crash, or human error. UpdraftPlus allows you to restore your site quickly and reliably.
