How to Download UpdraftPlus

UpdraftPlus is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it under Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the file, and activate it. Once activated, the backup options appear under Settings > UpdraftPlus Backups in the WordPress dashboard.

For those managing multiple WordPress installations, including multisite environments, UpdraftPlus centralizes backup routines and lets you duplicate or clone an entire site for testing or new hosting.
