= Don't risk your backups on anything less =
Your WordPress backups are worth all of the investment you've made into your website. The day may come when you get hacked, when something goes wrong with an update, your server crashes or your hosting company goes bust – without good backups, you lose everything. Would you entrust all your hard work to a backup plugin with only a few thousand downloads, mixed reviews or no professional support?
Believe us: writing a reliable backup plugin that works consistently across the huge range of WordPress deployments is hard.
UpdraftPlus works. We'll keep your backups safe.
= Why you should backup your website. =
WordPress, like any CMS, can be vulnerable to everything from server crashes, hacks, security flaws, bad plugin or theme updates and insecure web hosts. If anything happened to your website, it would cost you dearly in time, money and reputation.
Whilst other security measures are essential, backups are the ultimate insurance: they mean that, if the worst were to happen, your website (plus all related files and databases) would stay safe, and could be restored in no time.
You could of course create your own manual backups- but using a backup plugin is infinitely quicker, simpler and safer. Life's busy enough! With UpdraftPlus, you can simply "set and forget", scheduling in automatic backups to save you time, work and hassle.
= How UpdraftPlus compares with other backup plugins: =
UpdraftPlus is the most highly-rated and popular backup plugin out there - and for good reason. Not only is it comprehensive in terms of its features, but it's also easy and intuitive to use. And its vast user base means that, it's been tried and tested in a whole range of different scenarios.
Unlike many other plugins, UpdraftPlus:
* Restores, as well as backing up
* Backs up to more cloud options than any others
* Allows you to set up automatic backup schedules, for the ultimate in convenience

= Managing multiple website backups =

= Instantly create a temporary clone of your site (UpdraftClone) =
A temporary clone is an instant copy of a website, which runs on our servers. Rather than needing to test or develop this on your live site, you can instead create a UpdraftClone, which you can simply throw away when you're done. <a href="https://updraftplus.com/updraftclone/">Learn more about UpdraftClone here.</a>
* Easy: Press the buttons and UpdraftClone does the work.
* Reliable: UpdraftClone runs on capacity from a leading cloud computing provider.
* Secure: We designate one VPS (Virtual Private Server) per clone, shared with nobody.
* Fast: Clones take just the time needed to create a backup and send it.
* Flexible: Test upgrading to a different PHP or WP version if you want.
To create a temporary clone you will need: 1) credit in your account and 2) to connect to your account. You can buy UpdraftClone tokens <a href="https://updraftplus.com/shop/updraftclone-tokens/">from our shop, here</a>.
= Are you multi-lingual? Can you translate? =
Are you able to translate UpdraftPlus into another language? Are you ready to help speakers of your language to back up their website? UpdraftPlus Backup/Restore itself is ready and waiting - the only work needed is the translating. The translation process is easy, and web-based - go here for instructions: <a href="https://updraftplus.com/translate/">https://updraftplus.com/translate/</a>. (Or if you're an expert WordPress translator already, then just pick out the .pot file from the wp-content/plugins/updraftplus/languages/ directory - if you scan for translatable strings manually, then you need to get these functions: _x(), __(), _e(), _ex(), log_e()).

= How do I install UpdraftPlus? =
Here are the installation guidelines from our <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ReY7Z19h2I">YouTube channel</a> or from <a href="https://updraftplus.com/download/">our website</a>.
= Where are your other FAQs, other than the few found here? =
Here: <a href="https://updraftplus.com/faqs/">https://updraftplus.com/faqs/</a> (by keeping them in one place, we make sure they don't fall out-of-date!).
= Is there any way to make managing multiple website backups easier? =
Yes! We’ve developed a brilliant new plugin that allows you to backup, update and manage all of your website remotely from one central location. It’s called UpdraftCentral, and it comes in 2 different forms:
* UpdraftCentral (free, self-hosted)
* UpdraftCentral Premium (fully-hosted by us and "ready-to-go"; self-hosted version also available)
= What if I have a problem / need support ? =
You can find us in <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/updraftplus">the WordPress support forum for this plugin</a>. However, before you get in touch with problems, please do ensure that you read through all the FAQs and that you’ve updated to the latest release of our plugin. If you’re a paying customer, you should <a href="https://updraftplus.com/support/">go to our support page, here.</a>
It helps greatly if you can include the backup log and as much other information as possible in your report, for example, the PHP version, your website, the error description, how you got to the page that caused it, any other relevant plugins you have installed, plus any other information that might be of use.
To find the backup log: there are links to download the logs on the UpdraftPlus settings page- or you may be emailed it. Failing that, FTP into the directory wp-content/updraft and look for it there.
If you know how, please send your PHP error logs- just the few lines that appear when you run a backup, often the file called error_log, possibly in your wp-admin directory which you can check via FTP. And if you’re a programmer that can debug and send a patch, that’s even better.
= UpdraftPlus runs out of time when it’s trying to backup, after I have left it for some time to give it a good chance. What can I do? =
This problem is probably caused by your account being starved of resources by your (cheap) web host provider. This is far from ideal; although UpdraftPlus supports resuming backup runs right from the beginning to avoid everything having to be done at once, it has its limits. The best thing is to choose a more reputable web host. Failing this, try going into the “Expert settings” and reducing the size at which zip files are split. UpdraftPlus is known to successfully backup websites that run into the multiple-gigabytes on web servers that are not resource-starved.
= If my site gets hacked and the backups don’t work, is there anything I can do? =
Unfortunately not; since this is free software, there’s no warranty and no guarantee. It’s up to you to verify that UpdraftPlus is creating your backups correctly.
The <a href="https://updraftplus.com/news/">UpdraftPlus backup blog</a> is the best place to learn in more detail about any important changes.
N.B. Paid versions of UpdraftPlus Backup / Restore have a version number which is 1 higher in the first digit, and has an extra component on the end, but the changelog below still applies. i.e. changes listed for 1.16.32.x of the free version correspond to changes made in 2.16.32.x of the paid version.
* SECURITY: Thanks to Marc-Alexandre Montpas of Automattic for this report. All versions of UpdraftPlus from March 2019 onwards have contained a vulnerability caused by a missing permissions-level check. If your site does not have non-admin users, or if your non-admin users are all trusted (and your site does not allow users to sign up themselves), then you are not vulnerable (but we always recommend updating to the latest version in any case). Fuller details will be released after a short time interval allowing users to update.
* FIX: Unexpected 'Backup History' array structure during the rescanning of the new backup sets that changed the type of the database associative keys from string to array format
* FIX: Failure in excluding and wiping out jobdata during backup and restore causing the same backup to repeat under certain circumstances
* REFACTOR: Upgrade AWS SDK from version 2.8 to 3
* TWEAK: Improve how log file and backup file attachments are handled through mail-related functions, so they don't get omitted by some 3rd party SMTP plugins
* TWEAK: Overcome PHP 8 'Only the first byte will be assigned to the string offset' warning when rescanning local folder and/or remote storage for new backup sets
* TWEAK: On Windows, when mysqldump.exe binary is in use for backing up database, it failed to exclude updraft_jobdata_* entries due to 'escapeshellarg' function that replaces % char to white space

* TWEAK: Add Google branding to the Google Drive authentication link
* TWEAK: Change complex formatting string to avoid translator errors resulting in PHP errors
* TWEAK: New versionning scheme; the second part of the version number was previously not used very meaningfully/systematically; together with the third, it now indicates the year of release and number within that year

* TWEAK: Adjust next resumption display message if there isn't one
* TWEAK: Cache the UpdraftVault quota to reduce the amount of network calls made during long backups

* SECURITY: Fix a non-persistent XSS error allowing an attacker to once run JavaScript in your web browser if you clicked on a link crafted personally for you whilst logged into your site (very similar to that fixed in 1.16.65/6). A packaging error meant that this was not properly fixed in the 1.16.67-68 releases.

* TWEAK: Existing backups paging logic to avoid a confusing rescan user experience
* TWEAK: Refactor the search and replace engine

* FIX: If MySQL performance was very fast on large tables, and if fallback fetch mode was being used (which should not occur on any WordPress core table, but can be triggered on recent Oracle MySQL 8.0 versions), then when increasing rows fetched on large tables, some rows could be unintentionally skipped.
* TWEAK: Oracle MySQL 8.0 from somewhere after 8.0.17 has removed the display width from the response to SHOW CREATE TABLE, resulting in failure (prior to this tweak) to detect a primary key type that can be used with faster fetching
* TWEAK: Use 'wp_mail_failed' action hook to improve logging of email delivery failures caused by a PHPMailer exception
