WordPress backups, staging, and site management
BlogVault is a paid backup service for WordPress websites that combines automatic backups with staging, migration, restoration, and centralized site management. It covers the main parts of a WordPress installation, including the database, themes, plugins, and media files.
Backups are stored offsite on BlogVault’s cloud infrastructure, while backup and restore processing runs on BlogVault’s servers. This approach is designed to reduce the load on your website and keep backup access available even when your server is down. The independent dashboard provides a separate place to monitor and control your sites.
Backup and recovery tools
- Automatic incremental backups: Back up only what has changed since the previous backup to help reduce server load.
- Flexible schedules: Choose daily, weekly, or monthly backup schedules.
- Backup history: Access up to 90 days of backup history.
- Multisite support: Use the backup service with WordPress multisite installations.
- One-click restore: Restore a website in minutes, including when the site is offline.
- Differential restore: Speed up recovery by restoring the required changes.
- Multiple restore points: Select the backup point that best fits your recovery needs.
Staging and migration
Create a staging site in one click and use it to test WordPress, theme, and plugin changes before applying them to the live website. Staging runs on BlogVault’s cloud, and selected changes can be merged back into the live site. Staging validity can be extended for up to 56 days.
BlogVault also supports moving a site to a new host, domain, or server. It can automatically update URLs during migration and is designed for minimal or no downtime. The source lists compatibility with major hosts including WP Engine, Pantheon, Flywheel, Liquid Web, and Cloudways.
WooCommerce and multi-site workflows
For WooCommerce stores, real-time backups synchronize orders and store changes as they happen. Archives are available for up to 365 days, and a restore can be performed without losing recent orders.
Developers and agencies can manage multiple WordPress websites from one dashboard. Available management tools include remote updates for WordPress core, themes, and plugins, team invitations, client access assignment, white-label options, and client reporting.
Installation and first setup
Connect your WordPress website to BlogVault and start the backup process from the service dashboard. The source describes setup as taking about a minute. After connection, configure the preferred backup schedule, review available restore points, and create a staging environment when you need to test changes safely.
BlogVault brings backup, recovery, staging, migration, WooCommerce protection, and ongoing site management into one paid service for individual site owners, developers, and agencies.
