I like this feature because it eliminates unnecessary storage consumption.- It offers adaptable remote storage options like SFTP, Dropbox, and Google Drive that I use on a daily basis > > **Cons**: BackupBuddy would have been excellent if :- It was cheap and affordable like updraftPlus- It was easy to learn and adapt to.- it could backup my data in real-time without the need for any manual inspection or lookup- There were prepaid support resources like documentation or articles to help users work independently and effectively even though the support service is active - but nothing guarantees that they will keep this momentum going.- it was compatible with all server configurations. > > It's a quite great tool to use for website backup. Even though I'm not currently using it, it still works (at least) way better than many out there. ----- ### "It's reliable and it's good, but I think it's expensive" — 5.0/5 > **Rodrigo** | *14 April 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: We rely heavily on iThemes for the login and security part of the site. For this we use it on several sites. In the backup part we only use the basic backup sent by email, it is practical and convenient. > > **Cons**: In the backup part we had some problems in tests, depending on the complexity of the database or the type of source and destination server (example, mysql variations), it ended up not working always generate/restore. But the real problem is the price, there are equally good and cheaper options. > > When we tested it the first time, there were only basic backup options, we tested it again now, and it felt like a great improvement. Now integrated into site security we have a backup agent almost as good as UpdraftPlus, including migrations. ----- ### "Solid, but Definitely Not the Best Option Anymore" — 4.0/5 > **Melle** | *12 January 2023* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Automatic backup schedules are a great way to "set it and forget it". The included storage is a great bonus, and the ability to send it to a Dropbox or Google Drive is invaluable. > > **Cons**: The restore feature is a mess, it doesn't work on all hosts, it requires you to keep a PHP file on hand and the download for a large site can take a bit longer than is ideal. A lot of times when you're moving a site from one server to another, you also get some issues with the URL's on the new server that have to be fixed manually. > > BackupBuddy is fine, we used it for years and at the end of the day, it mostly does the job. With that said, it hasn't aged well, and they've never really found a way around the fact that it doesn't work with some hosts. Unfortunately, there are quite a few competitors out there now that work with EVERY host, backup in half the time, stall less while backing up, and don't require a password-protected file to restore your website. They're also a bit less expensive. 5 years ago I would have sung from the rooftops that this software was your option, but now I'd have to tell you that it's still a perfectly fine option, but not the best in class. ----- ### "Very capable WordPress backup system" — 4.0/5 > **Ben** | *30 November 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's packed with features\! You can send to a variety of destinations of which I used Dropbox for storing all my backups. > > **Cons**: It can be hard to setup and it often fails on less capable hosts. > > It's been great but has caused a lot of issues with failed backups as well. ----- ### "A complete WordPress Backup Tool" — 5.0/5 > **Alysha** | *12 July 2022* | Consumer Electronics | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Over the past few years, I have been using BackupBuddy without any problems. My WordPress website is backed up every day using this plugin. I like how simple and easy it is to use. I receive daily backups of my website thanks to the plugin. Several times already, this software has helped me recover my website after a server crash. > > **Cons**: I'm a Cyberpanel user and once I had low storage on my server. backupbuddy tried to backup my wordpress then push it to Google Drive. Due to my server being full, my cyberpanel crashed. The only way I was able to log into cyberpanel admin was by manually deleting those files via ssh. It would be great if backupbuddy calculates the required space first, then creates a backup of the website. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/210716/backupbuddy?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/210716/backupbuddy) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
