BackWPup Help: Set Up WordPress Backups & Jobs

BackWPup creates scheduled backup jobs for files and database and stores them locally or in the cloud (S3, Dropbox, FTP and more). We set up the jobs, schedules and storage targets and make sure your backups actually complete.

What's included

  • Separate jobs for DB & files
  • Server cron over unreliable WP-Cron
  • Cloud & FTP targets configured
  • Timeouts avoided on large sites
  • Restore path documented

BackWPup works with individual jobs – and that's exactly where many setups go wrong. Typical problems: WP-Cron doesn't trigger the job, so no backup is created at all; the backup times out due to server limits; or the zip only lands locally and fills the webspace because no cloud target is set. The free version also has no direct restore – which becomes a problem during an outage.

We create clean jobs for database and files, set reliable schedules (via real server cron instead of WP-Cron if needed), connect your cloud or FTP target and set up sensible rotation. For large sites we optimize job splitting and server values against timeouts. For emergencies we document the restore path. Everything remote, GDPR-compliant, €79/h incl. VAT with no subscription, free quote up front.

WP Bit has set up WordPress backups since 2016 and knows how to make BackWPup run reliably – even on weak shared hosting. We verify your backups are actually created and usable, and help instantly via WhatsApp when you need a restore.

Frequently asked questions

Why doesn't BackWPup create a backup?
Often WP-Cron doesn't trigger the job. We switch to real server cron so backups run reliably.
Can BackWPup restore my site?
Not directly in the free version. We restore files and database manually – safely and completely.
Where does BackWPup store backups?
Locally or to the cloud: S3, Dropbox, FTP and more. We set up an external target to keep your webspace free.
What does BackWPup setup cost at WP Bit?
€79/h incl. VAT, no subscription. You get a free quote up front.
