This plugin works in tandem with the BlogVault servers. BlogVault servers do all the heavy processing and will alert you if your site has any issues.
This requires an account with BlogVault to be created to use the plugin.
Yes. Take the help of this step-by-step guide.
We require your email address to keep you informed about important updates related to your website, such as vulnerability alerts, and uptime alerts.
Having an account is necessary to use our service, and your email address serves as a unique identifier for your account.
In addition, we may use your email address to notify you about any changes or updates that we make to our service, as well as any new features or services that we may offer to help enhance your user experience.
You can send an email to the support team on support@blogvault.net and notify our team regarding this.
No. All you need is a WordPress site. We don’t use your website resources for backing up so you will not experience any downtime, or page delay while executing BlogVault functions.
BlogVault is a paid backup service. But we understand the user’s dilemma before starting a new service, which is why we provide a 7 day free trial period. You can avail free trial without any registration, just enter your email ID, password, and site URL. Moreover, we do not discriminate between our trial period users and premium customers.

BlogVault Backup Service backs up everything in your WordPress site incrementally and completely – Including posts, pages, files, themes, images, etc. A WordPress site consists of 2 parts:
* Database backup – We back up the complete database.
* Files backup – We back up all the files within your core WordPress folders (wp-content, wp-includes, and wp-admin).
This strategy ensures that we do not miss anything on your site.
BlogVault backs up your website daily, automatically.
Your backups are very safe. We use encrypted cloud backups and off-site BlogVault servers to store your site backups and run security operations. This ensures seamless integration of security to your website without affecting your site servers.
We do not automatically sync your backups to Dropbox. However, we do provide an interface that can help enable you to move your backup to Dropbox. You can also download your Backups to your computer and then upload them on Google Drive.
Yes, BlogVault integrates well with WooCommerce websites with the special inbuilt Real-Time backups functionality. Please see WooCommerce backups page.
BlogVault backups files and tables, database metadata like database name, location, all content, settings, and configuration.
Yes. Restoring a backup using BlogVault is easy. Take a look at how to restore a site.
Yes, BlogVault’s Auto recovery functionality gets your site back up and running with almost Zero Downtime. Please see Auto-Recovery page.
Test Restore is meant to test the backups only, whereas Restore helps to restore a backup on the live site, directly.
Yes. You can do this by making use of our integrated Migration feature where you can choose the backup version that you want to migrate to a new server or new site.
Your staging site will be on BlogVault servers.
With the BlogVault backup service, you can extend your staging site validity up to 56 days.
After you are satisfied with your staging site, BlogVault Backup Service allows you can push the changes you like, onto your actual live site, directly.
No, we do not have a mailing system at the Staging server. Many sites have automated emails set up on their sites. On staging environments, they do not want these to be triggered. The staging environment does not have protection for spam emails. Blocking all emails ensures that the staging server IP is not blacklisted.
If you move them from the staging site to the live site, all your new orders will be lost on the live site. But we have provided you with the option with the selective merge. Select only the tables you want to merge and let BlogVault take care of the rest for you. Please don’t forget to backup your website before you start merging.
Yes. We’ve built BlogVault to work with any web host in the world. You just need to provide FTP credentials for the destination server. We migrate your WordPress site, whether you are:
Migrating to or from GoDaddy, BlueHost, SiteGround, HostGator, WPEngine, Flywheel, etc. OR Migrating to any other web host (in this case you’ll have to select either the cPanel or FTP options).
No, BlogVault Backup Service will cause no downtime to the destination server while migration.
Unless otherwise specified, BlogVault will backup a site following DNS resolution. If you migrated the site to a different URL, make sure the new URL is added as a site with BlogVault to enable backup. If the migration were to the same URL at a different host, BlogVault would automatically start doing a backup from the new location as soon as the DNS is updated.
Yes. Take a look at this Manage Site help doc. Before updating on the live site, we’d suggest you update on a staging site. BlogVault Backup Service comes with a free staging website.
Yes. With the BlogVault backup service, you can manage your site users and passwords. Take the help of this Manage Site help doc.
Yes, you can.
Our client feature is for your reference alone. You can assign a client to their site. If you want to give a user, dashboard access, please add them as your team members under the team section. Please see How do I add clients and team members?
WordPress by default does not back up your site for you. As for web hosts, if your site is not on wordpress.com, then you have a reason to worry. Servers, while generally robust, do fail from time to time for various reasons. Moreover, web hosting providers usually do not provide complete backups. When such backups are restored, sites crash, and data is lost. Several such horror stories inspired us to build this service!
BlogVault provides comprehensive and complete backup services. Apart from handling website security, it can also assist you with instant Migration as well as Staging and Merging services at very reasonable rates.
This is a backup and security service that remains committed to your website security by handling site management functions. If you care about keeping your WordPress website safe, then you definitely need a security solution like BlogVault.
Your Website Reports will contain details on the following:
* WP Version
* Total Backups made
* Backups Time range
* Total security scans made (Backup+Security plan only)
* Active Theme
* Number of Published Posts
* Number of Published Pages
* Number of Approved Comments
* Total database tables
* Total Files
* Total Plugins
* Active Plugins
* Installed Themes
BlogVault is compatible with all plugins and themes. It works even if you have a different backup plugin installed. If you want to uninstall a plugin and install the BlogVault plugin, kindly take a look at our guide on How to install BlogVault.
This could happen when you’re on shared hosting. Contact your host and ask them to grant you access to upload files via FTP.
Nothing to worry about, this notification means your destination server denied our requests to offload your site’s data. This could be because of a few reasons:
* Your destination site isn’t reachable (you’ll have to contact your destination web host about this)
* You have a firewall installed, which is blocking consecutive requests from the same source (in which case, please wait for some time and try again)
We are happy to accept all feature requests for our products and services. Simply fill in a detailed description of our contact form, and we’ll make sure the correct department reviews the request. We cannot guarantee that all requests will be satisfied, but we love hearing feedback from our users.
Thank you. We really appreciate these kind words, and it makes our day. We would love it if you could review our service here.

LOVE BLOGVAULT
By wordpressdharma on September 17, 2025
Our nonprofit school has used Blogvault for years, and we wouldn't be without it. We use Blogvault IN ADDITION to our Acronis backups for double security.
best product, service and helpdesk ever!!!
By renateho on September 12, 2025
BlogVault never seizes to amaze me. Everything works perfectly and there is some stuff included in here that i didn't know about. Such as Airlift making performance higher and the log files so that you can see what changes you made and if they are included in the backup. If you have questions or issues they get resolved very, very quickly and efficiently. Dont' be on the fence, buy it, never regret it and pray they keep doing what they're doing.
Great support
By Yury (yuryopex) on September 10, 2025

I have been using this plugin for creating a new website and it has been incredibly useful. The support team are fantastic, always quick to respond and incredibly helpful.
good plugin
By Elizabeth Whamond (ewhamond) on August 29, 2025
I like that we've got malware scanning and backups happening hourly and that the backups are off server for better performance. Customer service has been great, each time I've sent an email response time has been very fast.
