Unusefull – not reccomend!

  • Plugin doesn’t save/restore all database tables – so you can lost your information.
    I recommend to use the free BackUpWordPress plugin.

    It’s a strange – but BackUpWordPress ( as i understand ) is developed by same autor, but unlike Updraftplus the BackUpWordPress can backup complete database and has convenient settings for excluding files and directories.

    Hope this issues will be fixed in next version.

    Hi @track77,

    UD does backup all database tables that are part of a WordPress website. There’s also an add-on to additionally backup database that aren’t part of WordPress (https://updraftplus.com/shop/moredatabase/)

    UD also has many ways of excluding particular files and directories: https://updraftplus.com/faqs/how-can-i-exclude-particular-filesdirectories-from-the-backup/ . (You may be interested to know that we will also have a new UI for this in the next release).

    I have never done any development of BackupWordpress.

    Hi @davidanderson
    I think the plugin have to backup all database tables in any case.

    UD Pro has a lot of another great capabilities so you aren’t need for backup only part of db to increase sales.
    By excluding some tables from backup you spoiled the impression of the plugin.

    Hi,

    Just to be clear… UpdraftPlus will backup all the database tables that comprise your WordPress install (all: those from WordPress core, those from plugins, themes, etc.).

    What it doesn’t back up in the free version are database tables that aren’t part of your WordPress site. N.B. This feature is also available as a separate add-on (it’s not necessary to buy the entire Premium package – https://updraftplus.com/shop/moredatabase/ ).

    If you have hand-created tables that belong to a particular site then you both can, and should, prefix those with the WordPress site’s prefix, so that they are counted as part of WordPress, and get backed up.

    The paid/free split has to fall somewhere. BackupWordPress can’t send your backups off-site (e.g. Dropbox). So, all backups are on-site, and if you lose the site/server, you lose your backups too. Personally I think it’s a decent split that in UpdraftPlus (free) you can send your backups off-site; to make sure all your tables are in the backup, just avoid manually creating SQL tables which don’t begin with the site’s table prefix.
