VaultPress (Jetpack Backup)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jetpack.com\/?aff=190\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Jet<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/jetpack.com\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/jetpack.com\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">p<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/jetpack.com\/?aff=190\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">ack Backups<\/a> is a well-known WordPress backup plugin developed by Automattic, the company founded by one of the co-founders of WordPress, Matt Mullenweg. Formerly known as VaultPress, we at WPBeginner have also started to transition some of our websites to Jetpack Backups because it offers more up-to-date features. With Jetpack backups, you can enjoy automated daily and real-time cloud backup solutions without affecting your website&#8217;s performance. Setting up and restoring from backups is simple with just a few clicks. Jetpack also provides advanced security scans and other powerful features in its higher plans. However, for beginners, there are some drawbacks to using Jetpack backups.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, recurring expenses can add up quickly if you have multiple WordPress sites, since you pay per site level. Secondly, purchasing a subscription through their complicated purchase flow requires installing the Jetpack plugin first &#8211; although unnecessary features can be manually disabled afterward so they don&#8217;t slow down your site. Lastly, lower-tier plans only store backups for 30 days; unlimited backup archives require paying $49.95 per month per website which may not be feasible for many beginners compared to other options available on this list.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WPBeginner still uses VaultPress (an older version of Jetpack) due to being grandfathered into an older pricing plan that was much more favorable than current prices offered by Automattic. Despite its higher cost though even at premium pricing levels it remains worth considering due to Automattic&#8217;s excellent reputation when it comes to web technologies like WordPress &#8211; which is why we opt for high-end real-time backup plans such as those provided by All in One SEO for our eCommerce stores where maximum protection is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pricing:<\/strong> From $9.95 per month for a daily backup plan or $59.40 if you pay for a full year in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4.

It offers an easy-to-use interface to schedule daily, weekly or monthly backups.

You can also use their Stash service to store your backups in real-time and even email them to yourself. One of the biggest advantages of using BackupBuddy is that it does not require any subscription fees.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, you only need to pay once for the number of sites mentioned in your plan. Additionally, you will have access to premium support forums along with regular updates and 1GB of BackupBuddy Stash storage. Moreover, the iThemes Sync feature enables you to manage up to ten WordPress sites from a single dashboard using BackupBuddy.
