A CMS allows users to create, manage, and publish content on the internet without the need of any coding skills. However, with great power comes great responsibility, and that&#8217;s where backup plugins come in. These CMS backup plugins can help you backup your data and ensure that you don&#8217;t lose it in case of any unfortunate incidents such as a hack or a server failure. In this blog post, we will look at some popular backup plugins for CMS platforms.<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WordPress Backup Plugins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress is the most popular CMS in the world and has a wide range of backup plugins available for use. It powers more than 40% of internet websites. Hence, keeping it secure is essential for you. Some of the popular backup plugins for WordPress are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.&nbsp;UpdraftPlus<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>UpdraftPlus is one of the best CMS backup plugins that allows you to backup your WordPress site to the cloud, including Dropbox, Google Drive, Amazon S3, and more. It also offers a premium version with additional features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.co.uk\/blog\/technology-hub\/world-backup-day-a-reminder-to-protect-your-website-data\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">World Backup Day: A Reminder to Protect Your Website Data<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.&nbsp;BackupBuddy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>BackupBuddy is a premium plugin that provides scheduled backups, site migration, and restoration options. It also offers offsite storage for backups and can send backups to remote locations via FTP or email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.&nbsp;Backup Migration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With Backup Migration for WordPress, you can schedule automated backups or manually backup your site. There are several configuration options available, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Specify which files should be backed up and which should not<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Identify the location where the backup will be stored<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your backup should have a name<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In its free version, you can only backup files up to 2GB in size. Additionally, this plugin is capable of migrating websites between hosts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.&nbsp;BackUpWordPress<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike other CMS backup plugins for WordPress, BackUpWordPress does not require any configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Backup files are stored by default in \/wp-content\/backups on your website, but you can change this location. Because all your files, including non-WordPress files, will be stored in the WordPress site root folder, it is highly recommended to change the path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can, however, exclude files you don&#8217;t want to backup. Linux and Windows servers are supported by BackupWordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.&nbsp;Duplicator<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress users can migrate WordPress sites using Duplicator, a popular plugin.

However, Duplicator does not support automated scheduled backups. In terms of automatically and regularly backing up your site, it&#8217;s not the best option. The backup will have to be done manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6.&nbsp;BackWPUp<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With this plugin WordPress users will get an all-in-one solution to complete the WordPress backup services.

All of your information will be stored. Additionally, it offers a premium version with more features. With the paid plan, you can encrypt and store your backups in multiple locations, including Amazon Glacier or Google Drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7.&nbsp;BoldGrid<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With BoldGrid Backup, you can schedule automated remote backups for your WordPress site, restore it, and roll back failed updates.
