Cloudways backup or offsite plugin for backup/restore and updating plugins.
[ad_1]
Hello guys,
i have one question , is there anyone using cloudways backup/restore options ? Am wondering is there any worth offsite plugin for backup/restore that worth its money ?
Cloudways is a good secondary backup but not primary in my opinion. You do not have any fine control over the process.
I use Updraft Plus and backup to Amazon S3 storage. Cheap, easy and has never failed when I tried to do a restore or migration.
Along with hostings’ built-in backups we have always been using our own backups, so we can have a full control of our backups, usually offsite – as we have been using All in one WP migration plugin + our 2.5 TB pCloud.
anyone familiar with **WPVivid Backup Pro** ?
Backup on host is not reliable backup. Use extern storage (S3, Gdrive etc) and/or backup to local PC.
UpdraftPro or DuplicatorPro are proven plugins.
While most hosting companies offer daily or weekly backups, based on my experience it’s never a good idea to use that as your primary backup.
I always setup an off-site cloud backup as my primary using a plugin like [Duplicator](https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator) (my current preference). I have also used Updraft too which does a decent job.
In backups, a big consideration for me is not just backup but how quick and reliable is the restore functionality. This becomes spotty with some of the managed cloud backups like Jetpack and others especially if you are working on larger sites.
This is why setting up with Duplicator on Amazon S3, or even Google Drive is a better option because download / restore is reliably quick.
