MainWP Buddy Extension

Combine the power of your MainWP Dashboard with BackupBuddy, one of the most popular backup plugins!

With the MainWP Buddy Extension, you can control the BackupBuddy Plugin settings for all your child sites directly from your MainWP Dashboard, including the ability to create child site backups and even set backup schedules.

You can also select to use the MainWP Buddy Extension as your primary backup option, which removes the standard MainWP backup screens and replaces them with your new MainWP Buddy screens, helping to keep your Dashboard clean.

How the MainWP Buddy Extension works with BackupBuddy Features

Run Multiple Types of Backups

Run database, files-only or complete backups, or set up custom profiles.

With the Buddy Extension, you can choose to set all your sites to the same backup type or drill down to individual websites and set each section to its own specific needs.

Download Zip Files

After a backup completes, you can download a zip file of your entire WordPress site.

Download all your previous backups from any of your Child Sites directly from your MainWP Dashboard.

Set It & Forget It

Run automatic WordPress backups hourly, twice daily, daily, every other day, bi-weekly, weekly, monthly, and more.

Schedule all your sites to run with the same schedule or drill down to individual websites and set different schedules.

Store Files Safely Off-site

Automatically send your WordPress backup files to several remote storage locations, including BackupBuddy Stash, Amazon S3, Google Drive, Dropbox, & more.

Setup your Off-site storage for every site in one place or drill down to individual websites and set specific off-site storage.

Backup Your Sites

Your website data is valuable; keep your site backed up and avoid potential disasters.

Control Backups from One Place

Manage and Schedule backups directly from your MainWP Dashboard.

Email Notifications

Know when BackupBuddy finishes or needs attention so you can always be sure you have a current and useful backup of your website.

Set all your email notifications for every site from one central location on your MainWP Dashboard.

Restore or Move with ImportBuddy

BackupBuddy uses a unique tool called ImportBuddy to restore (or move) your WordPress site. ImportBuddy will guide you through the entire process, step by step.

BackupBuddy’s WordPress backup & restore feature is quick and straightforward. Upload the ImportBuddy file and your backup zip file, and we’ll walk you through the steps to restore your entire site: your themes, plugins, widgets, and everything else.

Yes, you can even set up your ImportBuddy information from your MainWP Dashboard

Individual File Restore

View contents of text-based files (.php, .html, .htaccess, etc.) & restore individual files to their original location (undelete or “rollback” a file).

Need to restore just one file on a site? Drill down to the individual site and restore that file from your MainWP Dashboard.

Database Rollback

Rollback your WordPress database with just a few clicks. Database rollbacks are useful for when you accidentally permanently delete a post, page, or comment.

Database rollback is accessible from your MainWP Dashboard too!
