Hello guys. I have like 40 wordpress websites which I need to backup. I was thinking of installing a backup plugin in each of websites which would allow me to create automated backups for files and databases and store them in dropbox or in hetzner storage box, storage share. Has anyone done the same or is any better or safer method to backup these websites ? Will I face any problem connecting the plugins with the cloud storages ? Thank you!

I use https://wpvivid.com it is really good and give you the possibility to schedule the backups, do incremental or full backups and safe on a lot of external tools and a lot of other stuff like migration ecc. it have a free version too but I down know what it can do
Edit: on wpvivid you can connect to mainwp and auto installa whit default setting on all your sites if you already use mainwp
I have 30 or so client sites that I backup daily. I use UpdraftPlus, and backup to Amazon’s AWS Servers, S3 Buckets. Costs me less than $1.00 a month for the Amazon bandwidth and storage, and about $50 a year for Updraft Premium.
I have been using the All-in-one WP migration plugin along with pCloud, with scheduled backups, but I do also have BlogVault SaaS backup solution (I bought their Lifetime Deal for 30 sites), plus I have within my hosting package (SG) daily offsite backups for the last 30 days, and I use all of those when appropriate.
I believe that your final decision should depend on your business case & the budget you have, without blindly following other people’s solutions, take and implement what suits you the best.
If you’ve got 40 wordpress sites I’d recommend looking into a management panel. I’ve used InfiniteWP for 10+ years and manage 100+ sites. I’ve set it up to make daily offsite backups to S3 (stored for 14 days) and a second, weekly backup (stored for 156 weeks.) It does this automatically, every day.
There are other good management panels like MainWP and ManageWP that can do the same thing.
But it doesn’t stop there. If you’re running that many websites you can also use a management panel to update core, plugin, and themes, also vulnerability checks, bulk installation/configuration when I change standard utility plugins, uptime monitoring, manage users, manage comments, scan for malware, and… quite a bit more.
They all have some kind of plugin you need to add, and each one has their own different backup methods. (I think MainWP lets you choose from several common backup plugins.) InfiniteWP and MainWP are both premium software you install on your own server. ManageWP is cloud based and priced per site.
Bonus: I shouldn’t have to say it but it’s good to know they’re all pretty good at actually *restoring* backups as well as making them.
Seriously though, if you’re managing more than maybe 10 websites you should seriously look into a management panel.
Personally I use whatever manual backup option the host provides or UpdraftPlus depending on the exact situation.
Updraft. Send to S3.
