BlogVault Backup Service backs up everything in your WordPress site incrementally and completely – Including posts, pages, files, themes, images, etc. A WordPress site consists of 2 parts: * Database backup – We back up the complete database. * Files backup – We back up all the files within your core WordPress folders (wp-content, wp-includes, and wp-admin).
This strategy ensures that we do not miss anything on your site.
BlogVault backs up your website daily, automatically.
Your backups are very safe. We use encrypted cloud backups and off-site BlogVault servers to store your site backups and run security operations. This ensures seamless integration of security to your website without affecting your site servers.
We do not automatically sync your backups to Dropbox. However, we do provide an interface that can help enable you to move your backup to Dropbox. You can also download your Backups to your computer and then upload them on Google Drive.

No, we do not have a mailing system at the Staging server. Many sites have automated emails set up on their sites. On staging environments, they do not want these to be triggered. The staging environment does not have protection for spam emails. Blocking all emails ensures that the staging server IP is not blacklisted.
If you move them from the staging site to the live site, all your new orders will be lost on the live site. But we have provided you with the option with the selective merge. Select only the tables you want to merge and let BlogVault take care of the rest for you. Please don’t forget to backup your website before you start merging.

Migrating to or from GoDaddy, BlueHost, SiteGround, HostGator, WPEngine, Flywheel, etc. OR Migrating to any other web host (in this case you’ll have to select either the cPanel or FTP options).
No, BlogVault Backup Service will cause no downtime to the destination server while migration.
Unless otherwise specified, BlogVault will backup a site following DNS resolution. If you migrated the site to a different URL, make sure the new URL is added as a site with BlogVault to enable backup. If the migration were to the same URL at a different host, BlogVault would automatically start doing a backup from the new location as soon as the DNS is updated.
Yes. Take a look at this Manage Site help doc. Before updating on the live site, we’d suggest you update on a staging site. BlogVault Backup Service comes with a free staging website.

Our client feature is for your reference alone. You can assign a client to their site. If you want to give a user, dashboard access, please add them as your team members under the team section. Please see How do I add clients and team members?
WordPress by default does not back up your site for you. As for web hosts, if your site is not on wordpress.com, then you have a reason to worry. Servers, while generally robust, do fail from time to time for various reasons. Moreover, web hosting providers usually do not provide complete backups. When such backups are restored, sites crash, and data is lost. Several such horror stories inspired us to build this service!
BlogVault provides comprehensive and complete backup services. Apart from handling website security, it can also assist you with instant Migration as well as Staging and Merging services at very reasonable rates. This is a backup and security service that remains committed to your website security by handling site management functions. If you care about keeping your WordPress website safe, then you definitely need a security solution like BlogVault.
Your Website Reports will contain details on the following: * WP Version * Total Backups made * Backups Time range * Total security scans made (Backup+Security plan only) * Active Theme * Number of Published Posts * Number of Published Pages * Number of Approved Comments * Total database tables * Total Files * Total Plugins * Active Plugins * Installed Themes
BlogVault is compatible with all plugins and themes. It works even if you have a different backup plugin installed. If you want to uninstall a plugin and install the BlogVault plugin, kindly take a look at our guide on How to install BlogVault.
This could happen when you’re on shared hosting. Contact your host and ask them to grant you access to upload files via FTP.
Nothing to worry about, this notification means your destination server denied our requests to offload your site’s data. This could be because of a few reasons: * Your destination site isn’t reachable (you’ll have to contact your destination web host about this) * You have a firewall installed, which is blocking consecutive requests from the same source (in which case, please wait for some time and try again)
We are happy to accept all feature requests for our products and services. Simply fill in a detailed description of our contact form, and we’ll make sure the correct department reviews the request. We cannot guarantee that all requests will be satisfied, but we love hearing feedback from our users.
Thank you. We really appreciate these kind words, and it makes our day. We would love it if you could review our service here.
Out of a dozen-plus WP-management platforms I’ve used over the past decade, BlogVault has been the most reliable in terms of backup integrity (few/no failed restores or migrations) and the caliber & responsiveness of customer support. It is the foundation of my website-support work. Highly recommend.

Blog Vault to the rescue
Our site kept crashing because our cpanel back ups frequently exhausted all our free disk space. Blogvault helped us move these off our site, and problem solved for good. Very affordable and terrific support. Thanks

GA4 connection WP Remote
The GA4 connection did not work as expected at first. After contacting support, the issue was handled properly and fully resolved. Good support and clear communication until everything worked as it should.
We have used BlogVault for a few years now and although we dont use their services every day we do consider it an absolutely essential part of our toolkit. Support, when needed – and because this is a great product, this is quite rarely – is helpful and responsive. Critically for us they are the only vendor I know that seamlessly support staging of WP multisite installs as part of their standard (paid) packages. For us, that alone is worth the fees. Its not cheap, but you get what you pay for. Highly recommended.

Many a web developer would agree there are only a handful of reliable plugins they use daily. This is one of them.
