In WordPress, there are a lot of things you need to take care of if you want to keep your website secure. Taking regular backup is one of those things. If something goes wrong with your website, you can get it up and running in no time with a backup. Taking backup of a website is fairly easy in WordPress and there are many WordPress hosting providers also that offer limited backup services. But you cannot rely on them completely and it is your responsibility to maintain regular backups of your website.
If you want absolutely no hassle you can consider using WordPress backup plugins for your website. There are quite a few good options available. Unlike other premium plugins, this one does not offer a subscription-based service. You do not have to pay a monthly charge in order to use this plugin. There are different pricing plans starting at a price of $80. These plans vary on the basis of the number of websites. With this plugin, you get direct access to premium support forums and get regular updates. It also comes with an iThemes Sync feature using which you can manage up to 10 WordPress websites from a single dashboard.
There is an option for scheduled backups as well as on-demand backups. You can choose which files you want to backup. Your backup will be automatically uploaded to the cloud storage service of your choice including Dropbox, Google Drive, Rackspace, FTP, SFTP etc. The best thing about UpdraftPlus is, it allows you to restore your backups directly from the WordPress admin panel.
