Store WordPress backups in scalable cloud storage
Backup For WP Cloudstorage extends WP Database Backup with a cloud storage option for WordPress database backups. It is designed for site owners who want to create backups manually or automatically, keep backup files away from the site, and manage storage capacity as their needs change.
The cloud storage plan uses a flexible pay-as-you-go model priced at $1 per 50GB of storage per website per month. Storage can adjust to the amount required for your backups, making the plan suitable for sites with changing backup volumes. A 14-day free trial is available to try the cloud storage feature without an upfront cost.
Back up and restore from WordPress
WP Database Backup supports one-click database backup creation and one-click database restoration. You can download backup files directly from the WordPress dashboard, save files in ZIP format on the local server, or send ZIP backups to a selected destination.
Automatic backups can run on a repeating schedule, while manual backups are available whenever you need an additional copy. The plugin also includes a website migration feature intended to help migrate a site with one click. These tools bring backup creation, file access, and restoration into the WordPress administration workflow.

Practical backup workflows
A small site can use scheduled backups and cloud storage to maintain a recurring copy of its database. A development or migration workflow can use the download and migration tools to move database data between environments. Administrators can also send reports by email, review backup entries by date or size, and exclude tables that should not be included.
Multiple destinations provide flexibility when a project already uses FTP, sFTP, a third-party storage service, or email delivery. Cloud storage offers a separate place for backups, while the local ZIP option provides a directly accessible file on the server.
Installation and setup
Install and activate WP Database Backup in WordPress, then configure the backup options from the plugin’s administration area. Choose whether to create backups manually or on a repeating schedule, select storage destinations, and set any table exclusions or email reporting preferences.
To use Backup For WP Cloudstorage, subscribe to the cloud storage option, select the required capacity, and use it as a destination for database backup files. The plan is available on a pay-as-you-go basis, with storage that can adjust to your backup requirements.
