The go-to tool for WordPress professionals
Trusted by freelancers who can't afford a failed backup or a broken migration.
I've tried UpdraftPlus, BackWPup and Duplicator. WP Backup Nota is the only one that never failed on my large WooCommerce store. The chunked processing is a game changer — shared hosting timeouts used to kill my backups every week.
Set up took 5 minutes, daily backups to Google Drive just work. Had a hack incident last month — restored the site in under 10 minutes. Worth every penny. I used to spend 2 hours manually backing up databases. Never again.
The AES-256 encryption was the selling point for me. My clients have GDPR obligations and I couldn't justify storing unencrypted database dumps in the cloud. Now I can. Clean interface, reliable scheduling, excellent plugin overall.
I charge clients for site migration as a service. Before this plugin, it took me half a day per site. Now I can migrate a WordPress site — new host, new domain, fresh database credentials — in about 20 minutes flat. This plugin paid for itself on the first job.
Backup to S3 works flawlessly. I set up lifecycle rules on my S3 bucket to auto-delete backups older than 30 days — zero ongoing cost worries. The selective backup mode (DB only vs full) is exactly what I needed for quick pre-update snapshots.
The cloud pull feature is a brilliant addition. I had a backup on Dropbox but the server was wiped — just pulled the backup directly from Dropbox into the new server without downloading 3GB to my laptop first. Saved me so much hassle.
Scale your client management
Agencies use WP Backup Nota to standardize backups across dozens of client sites.
The site migration feature saved me hours of work. Moved 15 client sites to a new server and the URL and path replacement worked perfectly every single time. I used to dread migrations — now it's just another item on the checklist.
We use the Agency plan across all 40+ client sites. The backup exclusions feature is underrated — we exclude cache, logs and video folders, which cut backup sizes by 60% and halved backup time. Support was fast and knowledgeable when we had a setup question.
Being able to restore directly from the WP admin panel is a huge time saver. One of our junior developers can now handle rollbacks without SSH access or touching phpMyAdmin. That's exactly the kind of abstraction we need when managing a team.
