BackUpWordPress

Description

BackupWordPress was created by our friends at Human Made but is now under new ownership. We are committed to open source and WordPress and will provide free support for the many BackupWordPress fans.

We will make occasional updates to the free software. Please send us any patches you would like to see released. However, we will no longer be selling or supporting the paid add-ons for backups to Dropbox and Google Drive. It is a good idea to backup to cloud storage to protect against server-wide risks.

BackupWordPress will back up your entire site including your database and all your files on a schedule that suits you. Try it now to see how easy it is!

This plugin requires PHP version 5.3.2 or later.

Features include super simple usage, works in low memory environments, manage multiple schedules, and options to email backup files. It also allows excluding files and folders from backups and provides good support.

FAQ

Backups are stored on your server in /wp-content/backups, you can change the directory.

Important: By default BackUpWordPress backs up everything in your site root as well as your database, this includes any non WordPress folders that happen to be in your site root. This does mean that your backup directory can get quite large.

The issue is that your wp-cron.php is not returning a 200 response when hit with a HTTP request originating from your own server, it could be several things. In most cases, it’s an issue with the server / site.

There are some things you can test to confirm this is the issue.

 * Are scheduled posts working? (They use wp-cron as well.)   * Are you hosted on Heart Internet? (wp-cron may not be supported by Heart Internet, see below for work-around.)   * If you click manual backup, does it work?   * Try adding `define( 'ALTERNATE_WP_CRON', true );` to your `wp-config.php`. Do automatic backups work?   * Is your site private (i.e. is it behind some kind of authentication, maintenance plugin, .htaccess)? If so, wp-cron won't work until you remove it. If you are and you temporarily remove the authentication, do backups start working?
