help BackWPup FAQ

Can BackWPup restore a WordPress site from inside the plugin?

Restoration capabilities depend on the BackWPup edition and version being used. A backup archive can contain the database, plugins, themes, uploads, and other files, but users should verify the current restore workflow before treating a scheduled job as a complete disaster-recovery plan.

Which remote storage services can BackWPup use?

BackWPup supports destinations such as Dropbox, Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, FTP, and local folders, with availability varying between Free and Pro. The plugin can schedule separate jobs for database exports, files, and remote delivery.

Does BackWPup use rsync for its WordPress backups?

BackWPup is primarily a WordPress plugin that creates backup archives and sends them to configured destinations. It should not be described as an rsync-based backup system, because its normal jobs run through WordPress and PHP.

How does BackWPup differ from UpdraftPlus?

Both can schedule WordPress file and database backups to remote storage. UpdraftPlus has long emphasized dashboard-based restoration in its free workflow, while BackWPup's restore features and destination access depend more heavily on the installed edition and current release.
