Overview

WP Database Backup is developed by Backup for WP and was first listed on WordPress.org on 21 March 2014. It had more than 20,000 active installations in November 2026, with version 7.14 released on 10 November 2026.^[19]

As its name indicates, the plugin focuses on database backups, created and restored with a single click, manually or on an automatic schedule; it can also back up files, and it includes one-click migration, search and replace in the backup file, table exclusion, and sorting and searching of the backup list.^[19] Backups can be stored on Dropbox, Google Drive, Amazon S3, FTP, SFTP, Backblaze or sent by email, with emailed reports.^[19] The developer also sells its own Backup for WP Cloudstorage.^[19] Pro licences are sold per number of sites, from $49 for one site to $499 for unlimited sites, each with one year of updates, and a $999 lifetime licence.^[20] The plugin is a lighter option than full-site tools where the database changes far more often than files, for example on stores or membership sites.
