WPvivid Backup Pro

WPvivid Backup Pro is a backup, restore, migration and staging plugin for WordPress. It runs on top of the free WPvivid plugin and adds more flexible backup rules, extra cloud storage options and advanced staging features. It suits anyone who wants regular backups, needs to move a site to another server or prefers to test updates on a copy first.

Key features

Backups

• Incremental backups: after the first full backup, only changed files are saved
• Choose what goes into a backup, with rules to exclude files and folders
• Back up non-WordPress files and additional databases
• Multiple schedules, advanced retention rules and database backup encryption
• Automatic backups before updates, plus rollback for core, themes and plugins

Cloud storage

On top of Dropbox, Google Drive, Amazon S3, OneDrive, DigitalOcean Spaces, FTP and SFTP from the free version, Pro adds WebDAV, S3-compatible storage, Wasabi, pCloud and Backblaze.

Migration and staging

• Migrate a site through cloud storage, with crash protection during migration
• Multiple staging sites and installation to a subdomain
• Push changes from a staging site to the live site
• Multisite backup and restore, and turning a child site into a single install

Management

User roles and capabilities, white labeling and advanced email notifications.

Why it matters

After a bad update, a hack or a hosting failure, a recent backup gets your site back in minutes. After a migration, WP Rocket helps keep the site fast.

License and installation

The Lifetime · 1 site option is a license with no time limit for one WordPress site. You do not receive a license key. WPvivid Backup Pro is installed and activated directly on your site instead, so checkout asks for the site address and an administrator's username and password. Setup for this prepared delivery usually takes 5 to 60 minutes, and you are notified by email when it is complete.

Make sure the login works before you submit the details. Use a temporary administrator for the setup, then delete it or change its password.

Other plugins are in the WordPress plugins category, and all WordPress products are in the Web and WordPress category.

1. In your WordPress dashboard, go to Users → Add New, create a temporary account with the Administrator role and log in with it once to confirm the details.
2. At checkout, enter the site address and the temporary account's username and password.
3. Once the setup email arrives, set a backup schedule from the WPvivid Backup menu, connect your cloud storage and run the first full backup.
4. Delete the temporary administrator or change its password.
