Fast Backups – Site Backup, Restore & Migration

Fast Backups helps you protect, restore, and move a WordPress website. Create a complete backup in the dashboard, download it, restore it on the same site, or import it into another WordPress installation.

A backup packages the database, media, themes, plugins, and supported site files into one portable .wpbackup file. The interface is made for site owners and developers who want a straightforward workflow without database tools or server commands.

Complete WordPress Backups

Fast Backups processes data in stages, displays live progress, and saves the completed archive in tokenized local storage. A complete backup can contain:

• The WordPress database, including plugin and theme settings.
• Media files from the uploads directory.
• Installed themes and plugins.
• WordPress content and supported files from the site root.

Restore or Migrate a Website

Restore a server backup or upload a .wpbackup file. Fast Backups validates the archive, restores the database and files, and shows progress. On a different domain, it updates source-site references to the destination URL and processes serialized WordPress data.

Common uses include:

• Moving a site to a new hosting provider.
• Moving a local or staging site to production.
• Creating a restore point before an update or redesign.
• Recovering a site from an earlier backup.

Optional Password Encryption

Protect a backup with a password. Encryption uses AES-256-CBC when OpenSSL is available. The password is required for import and cannot be recovered by Fast Backups.

Scheduled Backups

Create independent local, FTP/FTPS, and Google Drive schedules. Run them hourly, every six hours, daily, weekly, or monthly.

For each destination you can:

• Enable or disable its schedule separately.
• Select how often backups should run.
• Choose how many recent backups to keep.
• View the last and next scheduled run.
