Description

The Time Capsule addon connects the MainWP dashboard to the WP Time Capsule plugin installed on child sites, allowing incremental backups, point-in-time restorations, and staging updates to be triggered directly from the central dashboard. Geared towards agencies and professionals managing dozens of WordPress installations, the extension eliminates the need to open each site individually to check version history or recover specific files.

Main Features

  • Centralized backup management
    Controls WP Time Capsule on all child sites from the MainWP dashboard.
  • Incremental cloud backups
    Uploads only changes since the last point to destinations like Dropbox, Google Drive, and Amazon S3.
  • Point-in-time file restoration
    Recovers files, plugins, themes, or database at specific historical moments.
  • Staging mode updates
    Runs WordPress, plugin, and theme updates in a staging environment before applying to production.
  • Consolidated status panel
    Displays the last backup status of each site on a single dashboard screen.

Benefits of the Time Capsule Extension

  • Operational time savings
    Eliminates the need for individual logins to check or trigger backup routines.
  • Fast incident recovery
    Reduces response time after failures, hacks, or problematic updates on any managed site.
  • Safer updates
    Enables validation of changes in staging before applying, avoiding production environment breaks.
  • Unified portfolio visibility
    Ensures centralized monitoring of backup health across the entire client base.

Who Is It For?

  • Digital agencies managing multiple WordPress sites for clients.
  • Freelancers and maintenance professionals offering backup plans as a recurring service.
  • Internal IT teams responsible for corporate networks with several WordPress installations.

By integrating WP Time Capsule into the MainWP workflow, the addon transforms site protection and update routines into a centralized, auditable operation. For those managing WordPress portfolios, it represents a control layer that combines incremental backup, granular restoration, and update validation on the same panel already used to manage child sites.
