Faq
Your website is at risk of data loss due to hacking, hardware failure, or accidental deletions. Regular backups ensure you can restore your website anytime.
It depends on how frequently your website content changes. Daily backups are ideal for dynamic sites, while weekly backups may be sufficient for static websites.
The free version allows unlimited backups and restores, migration capabilities, and local storage management.
Premium users get cloud storage options, scheduled backups, priority support, and advanced backup management.
JetBackup requires PHP 7.4+ and a Linux-based server for optimal performance. Windows is supported but may have limitations due to known PHP issues.
Yes! JetBackup creates an exact snapshot of your website. When restored, it maintains the same state, making migrations effortless.
Reviews
I would give them a ZERO if I could
By 
UTTER waste of time. 4 days, THREE levels of their own tech team 'support' only so they could say they can only restore backups from their platform. Dude number 1, had ZERO clue, Dude #2 had ZERO clue and Dude #3, just rude and could have cared less. Usless, don't bother downloading, you'll end up cleaning up your cpanel and doing it via FTP anyway
Best wordpress backup plugin!
By 
My life is divided into 2 parts. Before I met this plugin and after I started using this plugin.
I build and promote WordPress sites and I get to move sites from server to server quite a lot and often it causes quite a few problems. With this plugin I can also back up the entire site locally on my computer and save the backup file in the cloud and also easily and simply move WordPress sites from one server to another. 5 stars!
JetBackup 3 changes the game
By 
JetBackup 3 feels like a true turning point. Under the hood, you can tell the code has been completely reengineered, it now reflects the same enterprise-grade design that powers the flagship JetBackup solution trusted by web hosts. What really stands out is the deep integration with the core platform. If your web host is running JetBackup on their servers, you’ll actually be able to see and interact with those backups right from the plugin, a thoughtful touch that brings everything full circle. In your first backup you’ll notice they are faster and more reliable than ever. It’s a real step forward, not just in performance, but in how backup technology should feel: seamless, stable, and quietly powerful.
Big Time Improvement
By 
JetBackup for WordPress version 3 is a welcome upgrade. The absolute best change in my opinion is the move from the SGBP format to standard tar/tar.gz archives. This is a huge win for portability, accessibility, and transparency! Love to see such a massive improvement, and I can't wait to see what's coming next!
V3 is a gamechanger!!!
By 
Just upgraded to version 3 and the performance and feature set is amazing! Feels like a completely different plugin now with a bunch of additional configurable options. Backup speeds are much faster now 🙂
Fast and Reliable backup plugin
By 
I recently upgraded the JetBackup plugin from version 2 to 3, and I’m genuinely impressed with the improved speed and performance. The backup and restore processes are significantly faster. I was able to back up my large website, which has over 20 plugins—smoothly and without any issues. well done JetBackup team.
Version 3 is a great plugin—much better than the older versions.
By 
JB v3 is a significant improvement over the older versions—it's faster, more reliable, and I strongly recommend it.
Good News!
By 
As a longtime user of JetBackup5 on Linux servers, I’ve been waiting for this moment. JetBackup has finally made its way to WordPress!
I will try and update ASAP.
Thanks
Great and Reliable Backup Plugin
By 
JetBackup version 3 has seriously improved backup operations, the speed and stability are outstanding. My WordPress site is quite resource-heavy, yet the entire backup process completed flawlessly. The user interface is clean, intuitive, and makes managing backups easy.
