Backups

You know that you need to keep your data backed up. Here are some things to keep in mind. Not all backups are equal. You need to have a backup that you can access if your website goes down or if your hosting provider accidentally deletes your account (this happens). This means that any backup that stays on the server your site is on isn’t a reliable backup. You must have a secure remote backup of you Disciple.Tools instance. This can be with Amazon S3, Google Drive or any other secure storage location.

UpdraftPlus

We recommend and use UpdraftPlus for our backups. Multisite support is only available on the paid version.

BackWPup

We’ve also tested BackWPup: https://wordpress.org/plugins/backwpup/. This plugin is free but more difficult to set up.
