Overview
Managing backups across many WordPress sites usually means opening each site, checking settings and running actions one at a time. This extension brings those tasks into the MainWP Dashboard. You can manage WP Time Capsule settings and backup activity for all your Child Sites in one place, which keeps routine maintenance in a single workflow.
Backups run incrementally, so the extension records only the changes made to a site as they happen, rather than copying the whole site on every run. You can still set custom schedules if a project calls for it. Backups can go to remote cloud storage, and restores can cover a full site or selected files and components. It works with an existing WP Time Capsule account, so that plugin is needed alongside it.
Features
- Centralized backup control: Manage WP Time Capsule settings and backup activity for all your Child Sites directly from your MainWP Dashboard, without opening each site separately.
- Real-time incremental backups: Backups are created as changes happen on your sites, so only the changes are stored. This keeps storage use lower than repeated full-site copies.
- Remote cloud storage: Store backups on cloud services such as Dropbox, Amazon S3 and Google Drive, keeping copies away from the site itself and easy to reach in an emergency.
- Selective site restoration: Restore an entire site or only specific files and components, which avoids manual recovery work when only part of a site needs to be rolled back.
- Staging environment setup: Create and manage staging environments to test updates and changes before pushing them live, which helps reduce errors and downtime on client sites.
- Customizable backup scheduling: Although backups run incrementally, you can also configure custom backup schedules to match the needs of each project or client.
- Simple dashboard interface: Backup controls sit in an easy-to-navigate dashboard, so common actions across many sites are within reach without hunting through settings pages.
Best for
- Agencies managing backups for many client WordPress sites
- Developers who already use the MainWP Dashboard
- Site owners who use WP Time Capsule and want central control
