Description

The BackWPup addon connects BackWPup to the MainWP dashboard, allowing you to trigger, schedule, and monitor full backups of all WordPress sites managed from a single centralized screen. The integration consolidates run history, job status, and remote destinations in the MainWP dashboard, eliminating the need to access each site individually to set up or verify backup routines.

Key Features

  • Centralized job management
    Creates, edits, and triggers BackWPup jobs on any child site directly from the MainWP panel.
  • Remote backup scheduling
    Sets recurring copy routines for the database and files without accessing the admin of each site.
  • Consolidated monitoring
    Displays history, status, and logs of backup runs for all sites in a single view.
  • Supported remote destinations
    Sends files to Dropbox, Amazon S3, FTP/SFTP, Google Drive, and other BackWPup destinations.
  • Batch execution
    Triggers the same job on multiple sites simultaneously from the MainWP dashboard.

BackWPup Extension Benefits

  • Operational time savings
    Reduces the time spent navigating between sites to set up and verify individual backups.
  • Routine standardization
    Ensures that all managed sites follow the same backup policy defined by the administrator.
  • Unified visibility
    Quickly identifies backup run failures in a consolidated status list.
  • Scalability for agencies
    Enables managing dozens or hundreds of sites with the same backup copy strategy.

Who Is It For?

  • WordPress agencies that maintain multiple client sites under a maintenance contract.
  • Freelance professionals who need to standardize the backup policy across all projects they support.
  • Internal IT teams responsible for keeping reliable backup routines in corporate networks of WordPress sites.

Designed for administrators who already use MainWP as a management hub, this component eliminates the back-and-forth between panels by concentrating the entire backup operation in one place. The combination of batch execution, consolidated monitoring, and support for BackWPup’s native remote destinations provides a practical layer of control for anyone who needs to ensure backups happen predictably across the entire managed site fleet.
