Backup and Staging by WP Time Capsule

Descripción

WP Time Capsule was created to ensure peace of mind with WP updates and put the fun back into WordPress. It uses the cloud apps’ native file versioning system to detect changes and backs up just the changed files and db entries to your account.

You need to sign up for an account on our website https://service.wptimecapsule.com to get a 30 days full featured trial.


With WP Time Capsule you can

Backup in real-time
You can backup your site in real-time which means you will now be able to revert your site to how it was just an hour ago. Also, you can change the backup interval to every 6 hours or 12 hours or daily.

Staging
With a single click staging it’s a breeze to test any change you are planning to do on your site. Test your updates on staging with a single click

Auto backup and update
We automatically backup before each update, if an update causes any undesired change. You are a click away from restoring.

Encrypted DB backups & GDPR Compatible
You can encrypt your DB backups to add an extra layer of security and makes your backup GDPR compatible.

Clone/Migrate
You can now use the WPTC backup to clone or migrate your site to a new location at ease.

How is WP Time Capsule different than other backup plugins?

WPTC is unique in 4 ways –
1. It backs up and restores only the changed files & DB and not the entire site every time.
2. The files & DB are stored in your cloud storage app – Amazon S3, Wasabi, Backblaze, Dropbox or Google Drive.
3. We have used the cloud apps’ native file versioning system to detect changes and maintain file versions. So backups and restores are as reliable as they get.
4. Most importantly, you can backup your site in real-time which means you will now be able to revert your site to how it was just an hour ago. Also, you can change the backup interval to every 6 hours or 12 hours or daily.

How does it work?

1. Sign up an account on our website https://wptimecapsule.com and you will get a 30 days full featured trial.
2. Install the plugin and login with your wptimecapsule.com account.
3. Next, connect the cloud app where you want to store the backup files. You can use Amazon S3, Wasabi, Dropbox or Google Drive.
4. Once you connect the cloud app, we will automatically begin backing up your complete website to your cloud app account.

After the first full backup is taken, you can schedule a time for WPTC to backup your websites. We will take care of your backups from here on.
This being done you will officially be disaster-ready. 🙂

Backup: Looks for files & DB changes since the last backup and uploads only the changes. The data is then stored securely in your cloud app account.

Restore: Checks revision history and displays the same. You can restore the site to any point in time or restore specific files & DB.

How is it better?
BACKUP METHOD
Traditionally – Backups are compressed and zipped. The Bad: Heavy server resource consumption.
WPTC – No zipping. Changed files are directly dropped into your cloud account. The Good: Uses considerably less server resources

BACKUP FILE
Traditionally – Multiple zip files are created every time you backup. The Bad: Precious storage space is wasted.
WPTC – Backs up incrementally. No multiple copies of files. The Good: Uses far less disk space

RESTORE
Traditionally – Unzip backup and restore the whole site. The Bad: Consumes time and server resource.
WPTC – Restores only selected files. The Good: Faster restore and you can restore even if you don’t have access to your site or plugin.

Ignore the people on here moaning because they don't realise that any backup solution should be monitored regularly. We have 130 sites working flawlessly on this best-value solution, and the support when something doesn't work as expected is responsive and detailed. We're very pleased with this backup regime and would heartily recommend this plugin.

Great plugin. The auto-backup-before-plugin-updates has saved me many times - makes for a quick rollback on a site if there's an issue. Greatly appreciate the support team - they answer quickly and usually know immediately what my problem is and how to solve it, and if not, they dig in and find an answer. Great support, great plugin - we have about 100 sites using it and I wouldn't be without it. Thank you!

Even if the plugin works fine in the beginning - at some point it stops working, without warning, without informing you about it, without any apparent reason. The synchronization doesn't work anymore (for whatever reason). I have observed this now on several websites (and different web servers). Unfortunately, I even bought the lifetime license of this plugin. I would have been better off saving that money.

UpDate my rating from 1 to 4: The reason for the backup failure lay in Wasabi's policies. Now the backups with large files also work. I've been using the plugin for years. Since the switch from DropBox to Wasabi, the backups are not complete. Large files are not copied. The bad thing is that you only see the error in the log files. Otherwise there is no error message.

I have no clue if it works or not for other people but I can't seem to get it to upload more than 1% and hour maybe.. I can't really tell. The first backup never went past 2% Just kept saying waiting on server response. ( Preparing for next call from server. ) I deleted and reloaded it all and it "seems" to be working. I don't really think it is something I can support long term if it takes this long to upload the first backup. I purchased a account which I will probably getting refunded and I also setup a S3 storage bucket which I don't need now.. seems like this was a HUGE waste of time and I wish the reviews online reflected this situation. It doesn't seem to handle large files so unless you have a VERY SMALL site please try something else

A Long time user of the plugin and I can honestly say if you can get it to work (which I previously had) then it works amazingly since I've changed my web hosting providers I've been having an issue with connecting to the WPTC site via wp-admin after many conversations with the support team, basically weren't able to help which again is frustrating. Previously I could incrementally backup to google drive without issue but I believe this is where the plugin for one reason or another wants to connect to their system (even though I'm logged in) to their own IP address's WHY? What's the point? if I've authenticated my license.... Now your thinking that this may be a server config error, i can tell you for a fact that every IP they requested i have whitelisted and should be working fine, yet its stuck in the same limbo of unable to bypass the database backup (which is not what i need it for) really annoying and deeply frustrating for what actually is a promising backup solution
