Why can backup plugins run while the site is live?

[ad_1]

Hi,

I have been using UpdraftPlus for a while now. I noticed that the website is always live while the plugin is doing backup, what would happen if a user made a change on the live site or database? How do plugins like this work? Is there any backup plugin that would put the site into maintenance mode while backing up?

Thanks

  1. Why would you want to do this? If a user made a change to the site, if that database table was already backed up, those changes would not be included. If it wasn’t backed up yet, then it would be included in the backup.
