What do you like best about UpdraftPlus?

It is the best wordpress plugin for taking backups of our sites. Been using updraftplus for 4 to 5 years, and it was working great. Even we are just using the free version of the plugin, but still it has all the features you need, including storage integrations, scheduling options, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UpdraftPlus?

Sometimes, the backups are stored on the website's server even if external storage option is configured, but it only happens on some sites, not sure what the reason is, also on some restoration tasks, the back restoration is failing, but it only happens sometimes, otherwise the plugin is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is UpdraftPlus solving and how is that benefiting you?

We manage and host wordpress websites of our business and our client websites, so we have to keep backups of the sites. For that we use updraftplus to schedule and send backups to our remote storage, which saves lot of our time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about UpdraftPlus?

I am using updraftplus now since almost 4 years (July 2020)I am very satisfied. It's easy to set up and handle, makes reliable backups on schedule and whenever something is updated. Whenever something goes wrong for example a plug-in update it's easy to restore the version before. For me as a web designer it's very useful to make clones for testing purposes and to migrate my developing environment to life sites. The support is quick and reliable! Thank you for developing and maintaining such a great tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UpdraftPlus?

Up to now, and I'm pretty sure it's gonna stay like that, I have nothing to complain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is UpdraftPlus solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's helping me doing my backups, cloning my testing environments and migrating my developing environments onto real sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about UpdraftPlus?

I generally install updraft plus on every new WordPress website I manage.

It's very easy to setup and it's a reliable tool for backups.

I've also used it to migrate sites by backing up and downloading the database and assets (uploads) and then importing these to a fresh WordPress installation on another server. Saved me $$ and cut out a lot of messing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UpdraftPlus?

Price order site. Ideally it would be cheaper and then be in a position to manager more customer websites. The free version is great if you're building sites for yourself but there is a cost if you're using it for multiple sites you're building. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is UpdraftPlus solving and how is that benefiting you?

Automatically backups WordPress websites including database and content assets. Sometime the auto sync with Dropbox isn't as straight forward. But Updraft provides clear instructions as to how to resolve it.

It's simple to setup and once it is setup, you don't need to do anything until you need it, which is perfect! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about UpdraftPlus?

UpdraftPlus is easy to configure and supports several cloud drives to store the backups. Implementing that is a 10-minute process and after that, you just leave it running to back up your Wordpress instance as frequently as you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UpdraftPlus?

The free version has some senseless limitations, such as a non-custom backup path on cloud drives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is UpdraftPlus solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed to have backups of our marketing websites, just to make sure we could recover our content in case something unexpected happened. UpdraftPlus allows us to keep those backups fresh and ready to be restored. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about UpdraftPlus?

I enjoy working with Updraft Plus because it's so simple to use and goal-oriented. We use it on all our websites and sincerely, It's worth it.

The plugin offers a variety of backup options (local storage and cloud storage). The cloud storage option is my favorite because it allows us to store our site's content directly on Drive and Dropbox which helps to save extra space on our servers that would have been used up by the backups.

I usually perform both the cloud and local storage backups (for safety convenience) and restoring the backups is super easy and straightforward.

Before getting to know UpdraftPlus, I'd tried a few options and honestly, it's the best among a few that actually works well Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UpdraftPlus?

There is nothing that I don't like about this plugin, the developers are actually doing a great job and all I can say is a "big up" for their professional work model Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is UpdraftPlus solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps us solve backup issues and I highly recommend it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish they would charge a one time fee to use the upgrade version. I would use a number of features, including migration and cloning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is UpdraftPlus solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being able to have automatic backups off the server into Dropbox. It lets me have several copies off site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about UpdraftPlus?

UpdraftPlus is a reliable tool. It's easy to install and connects with many storage solutions, like Dropbox, GDrive, etc. It is fairly easy to restore specific parts or a site, like plugins, database or uploads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UpdraftPlus?

It was challenging to set the management of versions. It is possible to set how many versions to keep and when to delete older copies, yet the interface wasn't very intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is UpdraftPlus solving and how is that benefiting you?

We did incremental backups of Wordpress sites so we could reinstall sites compromised or user issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about UpdraftPlus?

OK. I have to admit it. I did watch a few YouTube videos and tutorials. But it involved simple steps, it gave feedback during the process, and it worked exactly as described. My entire WordPress site displayed perfectly on first launch with no changes needed (by me anyway). All the scripts and changes were done by the Migration process. The only thing I will mention is that you have to click the very small 3 dots menu when you go to send the backup to the other site where you can chose the plugins, themes, etc. It doesn't expand that list and the buttons until you click those 3 dots. Other than that, it just worked. Thanks for a great product! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UpdraftPlus?

I did have to install the downloaded version on each instance. But it takes 3 minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is UpdraftPlus solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helped me quickly transfer my WordPress hosting site when the one I was on was having major technical difficulties. It also lets me backup my site and transfer the files locally (via Dropbox for me) automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about UpdraftPlus?

I don't like anything about the product. It's a ripoff Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UpdraftPlus?

It just doesn't work. The documentation says that it works by making a backup and moving the backup to the new s ite. The backup has been running for 2 days and shows no sign of finishing. Is this a time saver? Save your money and move your sites manually. The manual way takes time, but you'll get it done. This was $30 thrown away, and now I will move the site manually anyway.

What problems is UpdraftPlus solving and how is that benefiting you?

It didn't solve any problem. It's a waste of money Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
