Reviews
Easy to use and reliable
By 
Of all the backup plugins I tried, this one stands out for ease of use. Working with MainWP is another huge plus. Thanks for the great work!
Really Helped Standardise and Backup
By 
I only run a few sites — a couple of personal ones and a few for my local community. WPvivid has helped me set up a base site and clone it to additional sites, giving me a consistent starting point after I’d given up on WordPress a couple of years ago.
Migrating the first site was a little tricky, but mainly because I was learning the process from scratch. The second site took about a quarter of the time: cloned, backup configured and run, and left with a consistent starting point.
I really couldn’t ask much more from the free version of a plugin. Highly recommended.
Very good plugin
By 
I really like the WPvivid DB plugin. It’s very quick at creating backups and makes migrating sites extremely easy.
Reliable and Easy to setup
By 
I have been using for a few years and I can always depend on my backups which is very important to my clients and myself
Great plugin
By 
I just love this plugin. It helps me a lot. I'm download my backup and upload on my sandbox for testing. I had 0 problems so far
Fantastic
By 
I started using this backup plugin four days ago and have already installed it on 60+ websites. I am really floored by the plugin.

Excelent!
A fantastic backup and staging plugin — better than UpdraftPlus
By 
I’ve been using WPvivid Backup Pro and I’m genuinely impressed. In my experience, it is more complete, intuitive, and pleasant to use than UpdraftPlus, despite the latter being more widely known.
The plugin offers a rich set of features, a clear interface, and reliable tools for backups, migrations, cloud storage, and website management. The staging feature is particularly excellent: it makes creating a safe testing environment simple and convenient, which is invaluable when updating plugins, testing changes, or troubleshooting a website without affecting the live site.
The lifetime licence is another major advantage and provides excellent long-term value.
I recently contacted the support team about a technical issue that ultimately came from my hosting provider’s security layer, not WPvivid itself. The team responded quickly and helped me investigate the problem. Their support was professional and responsive throughout.
WPvivid deserves to be much better known. It is an excellent WordPress backup and staging solution that I can wholeheartedly recommend.
Excellent migration plugin — handled a large WordPress site when another plugin
By 
I used WPvivid to migrate a fairly large WordPress/WooCommerce site, around 1.6 GB, from one hosting plan to another.
I first tried Duplicator, but it failed because of my host’s server limits while trying to build the large archive. WPvivid handled the migration seamlessly by splitting the transfer into smaller parts. It even recovered automatically from a timeout and resumed without me having to restart the whole process.
The migration included my pages, products, images, theme, plugins, WooCommerce settings, orders, payment configuration, and database. After restoring the backup on the new hosting plan, the site looked and worked exactly as expected.
The interface is straightforward, the auto-migration feature worked very well, and the fact that this was available in the free version was especially impressive.
For anyone moving a larger WordPress site and running into server limits with other migration tools, WPvivid is definitely worth trying.
5 stars.
Outstanding Support
By 
As plugin developers ourselves, it is so refreshing to find another plugin development company that prides themselves on providing exceptional support. We use this plugin over Updraft and other backup plugins because it supports SFTP out of the box.
