    BackWPup Free – WordPress Backup Plugin

    Administration Backup
    Add to List

    A WordPress site represents real work: content, customers, sales, and reputation. A failed update, a server problem, or a single mistake can take it all offline in seconds. BackWPup exists to make sure that never becomes a disaster.

    BackWPup is a complete WordPress backup and restore solution. It automatically backs up your database and files, stores them securely on your server or in the cloud, and helps you restore your site when something goes wrong. Trusted by more than 500,000 WordPress websites and refined over more than a decade, BackWPup helps keep your data protected without adding unnecessary complexity.

    BackWPup Free includes everything needed to automate, store, and restore WordPress backups with confidence. BackWPup Pro adds advanced recovery, migration, security, and multisite capabilities for professionals, agencies, and businesses. Starting with version 5.7, BackWPup also supports AI-assisted backup management, making it easier to check backup status, run backups, and troubleshoot issues using natural language.

    🚀 Why Choose BackWPup

    Reliable backups when you need them most.
    A backup is only valuable if it works when something goes wrong. BackWPup creates complete backups of your WordPress files and database, stores them securely, and gives you clear visibility into backup status and history.

    Simple to get started. Powerful when you need more.
    The guided setup helps you create your first backup in minutes. As your needs grow, BackWPup gives you the flexibility to customize schedules, destinations, retention rules, automation, and multisite workflows.

    Built for modern WordPress workflows, BackWPup lets you manage backups through the WordPress dashboard, automate them with WP-CLI, or use AI assistants through MCP (Model Context Protocol).

    🛡️ Back Up Your Way

    Good protection adapts to how you work. BackWPup is built around three simple decisions: what to back up, when to back it up, and where to keep it.

    What to back up. Create a complete backup of your entire WordPress installation: your full database and all your files, including the wp-content folder, themes, plugins, and uploads. Prefer a targeted backup? Back up just your database or just your files. BackWPup also supports WordPress multisite, so an entire network is covered.

    When to back up. Set automatic backups to run hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly, so protection keeps pace with how often your site changes. A high-traffic store can back up several times a day; a brochure site can run weekly. Need one right now, before a plugin update or a round of edits? Run a backup on demand in a single click.

    Where to store backups. Your backups shouldn’t depend on a single location. BackWPup lets a single backup job store the same backup across multiple destinations at once: keep a copy on your own web space and send copies off-site to the cloud, so you’re protected even if one location becomes unavailable. The free version supports Website Server (local), Dropbox, FTP, Microsoft Azure, Amazon S3 and compatible storage, SugarSync, and Rackspace Cloud Files, and you can combine any of them in the same job. Each destination has its own configuration and retention settings, so you control how many copies are kept where.

    Every backup is tracked in one place. With clear logs and backup history, you can easily verify when a backup ran, whether it succeeded, and where it was stored. When something does go wrong, restoring is just as straightforward: review your backups, choose one, and restore your site to a known-good state.

    ⚡ Improve Your Site’s Reliability and Performance

    Did you know that regular backups and database maintenance can improve the performance and reliability of your WordPress site? With BackWPup, you can ensure that your data is always protected and that your site is always running smoothly.

    By scheduling regular backups and database maintenance, you can avoid data loss and downtime. BackWPup makes it easy to protect your data and keep your site running at its best.

    Even Google recommends regular backups and database maintenance to ensure the reliability and performance of your site. With BackWPup, you can follow best practices and keep your site secure and reliable.

    🤖 AI-Assisted Backup Management with BackWPup 5.7

    Backups are not just about creating archives. They are about knowing your site is protected before an update, confirming scheduled backups completed successfully, and quickly investigating problems when they occur.

    BackWPup 5.7 brings these tasks into the tools many WordPress professionals already use every day. Through MCP (Model Context Protocol), BackWPup connects directly to AI assistants such as Claude Desktop, GitHub Copilot, and OpenAI Codex, allowing you to manage backups using natural language.

    Instead of navigating dashboards and logs, you can simply ask questions, run backups, review status, and troubleshoot issues directly from your AI assistant while keeping your backup data securely on your own WordPress site.

    ⚙️ Built for Modern Technical Workflows: WP-CLI and MCP

    BackWPup gives you two powerful ways to manage backups beyond the WordPress dashboard:

    • WP-CLI enables command-line automation for deployments, scripts, scheduled maintenance, and repeatable operational tasks.
    • MCP (Model Context Protocol) enables AI-assisted backup management through assistants such as Claude Desktop, GitHub Copilot, and OpenAI Codex. Check backup status, run backups, review logs, and troubleshoot issues using natural language.

    WP-CLI is ideal for automation. MCP is ideal for visibility, troubleshooting, and day-to-day backup management. Together, they give technical teams the flexibility to work the way they prefer.
