Wordpress Plugin: BackUpWordpress
BackUpWordPress is a Backup & Recovery Suite for your WordPress website. This Plugin allows you to backup database tables as well as files and comes with a rich set of options.

I’ve been using this for more than 2 months now and luckily I haven’t got the chance to use it (that means my site have not failed yet)
Features of BackUpWordpress:
EasyMode
- Switch between EasyMode and AdvancedMode
- Database backup as well as directory structure including uploaded files, plugins, etc.
- Set up Mail notofication on new backups
- Trigger backup manually
- Set basic schedules for your backups
- restore backups
- staggered SQL import when restoring
- automatically continue unfinished backups in background
- download backups
- Help page
- Language Support for english and german(deutsch)
more option in AdvancedMode
- Set and manage custom schedules * Check disk space
- View backup Logs
- Delete backups manually
- Manage backup presets
- Manage exclude-lists for use with these presets
My Review:
Although the features are quite impressive and the schedule backups are working properly I was not able to restore any of the backups (SQL only) when I was trying it on other server in case my current web host provider will not renew their hosting service next year. I haven’t tried to restore Full backup yet since it’s file size is more than 200MB and my alternative free host only support 5MB max file size upload. BackUpWordpress support / project seems to be dead and I already disabled the plugin since it’s not have any uses if I can’t restore the backup. I hope I can find another Backup tool plugin for wordpress. I still backup my Wordpress Database using my Host’s Cpanel.

deactivate first BackUpWordpress plugin then delete the folder from your web host Cpanel and not in FTP Client software.

Hey Jeff, thanks for the reply! I did it already, deleting /backup/ folder from my host server by clicking on Cleanup / Reload Account (000webhost.com). Cool eh?
Anyway, what’s your free host service provider? I thought you were using 000webhost.com. I haven’t tried uploading the full backup contents made by Backup WordPress, but I would suggest you that you only upload first the important files such as the fresh WordPress folders/subfolder without other plugins/themes except for the default one. Then you move on the rest.
Cheers,
