Overview

Managing backups site by site can take extra time for people responsible for multiple WordPress websites. This extension brings BackWPup job management into the MainWP Dashboard, where you can create and schedule jobs for child sites without logging in to each site individually. It gives site owners, freelancers, and agencies one place to manage these backup tasks.

From the dashboard, you can run a backup on demand and follow its job log. The extension also lets you download or delete backup files for individual sites from the same central interface. Use it when you want to oversee BackWPup jobs across a group of child sites and keep their backup files organized in one place.

Features

  • Create backup jobs: Create BackWPup backup jobs for child sites from the MainWP Dashboard, keeping job setup within your central site management workflow.
  • Schedule backups: Set schedules for BackWPup jobs across child sites, so recurring backup tasks can follow your maintenance schedule.
  • Run backups on demand: Start a backup for a child site directly from the MainWP Dashboard whenever you need to run a job outside its schedule.
  • Review job logs: Follow each backup job through its log in the dashboard to review the task's progress and details.
  • Manage backup files: Download or delete backup files for child sites from one central location instead of managing files separately on each site.
  • Manage multiple sites: Use the central dashboard to oversee BackWPup backup jobs across your MainWP child sites without logging in to each one.

Best for

  • Agencies managing multiple WordPress sites
  • Freelancers maintaining client websites
  • Site owners using MainWP and BackWPup
