Easy to use and very reliable

I use UpdraftPlus since years – the free and also the premium version:

for most simple blogs and websites the free version does what you need it to do, e.g. make backups.

As I needed to create staging sites I used the premium versions for those websites. I had tried several other plugins in order to do so, but none was as easy to use as UpdraftPlus.

The premium version comes with the UpdraftPlus vault, where you can save your backups. The database can also be encrypted and thus be stored safely.

The free and the premium version are both extremely easy to use and very reliable. I haven’t found a better plugin for this purpose and can definitely recommend it.
