Description
The BlogVault Backup addon connects the MainWP dashboard to the managed backup service BlogVault, allowing scheduling and executing full backups of all child sites directly from the central management screen. The integration centralizes the backup status of each connected WordPress site, eliminating the need to log in individually to each installation to trigger file and database backup routines.
Main Features
- Unified backup dashboard
Displays the security copy status of all child sites on a single MainWP screen. - Centralized triggering
Allows manual or scheduled backups to be triggered without accessing each site’s wp-admin individually. - Complete file and database copy
Leverages BlogVault’s engine to generate full snapshots of each connected WordPress installation. - Multi-site management
Centralizes the configuration of backup routines for dozens or hundreds of WordPress sites. - Compatibility with the MainWP ecosystem
Works alongside other MainWP addons, integrating into the existing maintenance and monitoring workflow.
