Download UpdraftPlus Premium 2.26.11.26 – WordPress Backup and Migration Plugin
UpdraftPlus Premium is one of the most popular backup and migration plugins for WordPress, used by site owners, developers and agencies to keep their websites safe. Version 2.26.11.26 lets you create full backups, restore them in a couple of clicks and move a complete website to a new host or domain in just a few minutes, all from your WordPress dashboard.
A single failed update, a hacked plugin or a server crash can wipe out months of work. UpdraftPlus Premium protects you from these problems with scheduled backups, remote cloud storage, incremental backups and a powerful migrator. Whether you run a small blog, a WooCommerce store or a multisite network, this plugin gives you a reliable safety net without writing a single line of code.
UpdraftPlus Premium Features
The premium version unlocks many tools that are not available in the free plugin. Here are the main features you get:
Backup and Restore
- One-click restore – choose any saved backup and restore it with a single click.
- Incremental backups – save only the changes made since the last backup instead of a full copy every time, which saves server resources.
- Automatic pre-update backups – a backup runs right before WordPress core, plugin or theme updates, so you can roll back quickly if something breaks.
- Flexible scheduling – run backups every 2, 4, 8 or 12 hours, daily, weekly, fortnightly or monthly, and pick an exact time such as 3 AM when traffic is low.
- Backup retention rules – older backups are thinned out automatically as they age to save storage space.
- Database control – back up individual tables, non-WordPress tables and even external databases.
- Files outside wp-content – include wp-config.php and other folders on your server.
- Import from other tools – restore backups made with MySQL and some legacy backup plugins.
- WP-CLI support – run backups from the WordPress command line.
Website Migration
- Built-in Migrator – move a site to a new host or domain in minutes; old URLs are found and replaced automatically.
- Linked sites – connect two sites once and migrate between them as many times as you like.
- Selective migration – choose which plugins, themes and database tables to move.
- Multisite support – migrate a single site into a multisite network, move subsites between networks and manage backups from the network admin area.
- Automatic clean-up – background tasks run after migration to improve the success rate.
Cloud Storage and Security
- Many remote destinations – Google Drive, Dropbox, Amazon S3, Rackspace Cloud Files, FTP, DreamObjects, OpenStack Swift, Email, Microsoft OneDrive, Microsoft Azure, Backblaze, Google Cloud, pCloud, WebDAV, SFTP, FTPS and SCP.
- Multiple storage locations – send each backup to more than one place, so you always have a spare copy.
- Subfolder support – store backups in custom subfolders instead of the default app folder.
- Amazon S3 extras – server-side encryption, restricted IAM users and the cheaper “Infrequent Access” storage tier.
- Database encryption – protect user data, passwords and secret keys inside your backups.
- Integrity checks – cryptographic checksums confirm that backup files are complete and unchanged.
What’s New in UpdraftPlus Premium 2.26.11.26
