Works very well once you understandall the settings. It was a bit confusing to set up linking with other sites. Extra storage is expensive so set back up copies low to not have storage issues.

Yep.

No idea if it's the best but it's pretty good.

Great WordPress extension and awesome suport

Been using Updraft for 3 years now. A great app, especially for migration purposes. Back-ups are a breeze to configure and we use Dropbox («Plus» account) for storage and it works seamlessly. And the support is awesome (fast and reliable). Thanks Nick for the great service.

Thanks for your review, and we’re glad to hear UpdraftPlus is working well overall!

We’d love to help clarify what’s going on with your storage, as it can be a bit confusing at first. The backup retention limit (how many backups to keep) and your storage space limit (how much total space you have) are separate settings.

For example, if your retention limit is set to keep 5 backups, UpdraftPlus will only delete older backups once there are 5 backups stored. But if your total storage fills up after just 2 or 3 large backups, the plugin won’t delete anything yet, because it hasn’t hit the 5-backup threshold. That’s why you’ll get a message about being over your quota, even though old backups haven’t been removed yet.

To resolve this, you can either:

1. Increase your storage space to hold more backups, or

2. Reduce your retention limit to keep fewer backups.

Once the number of stored backups reaches the retention limit, UpdraftPlus will automatically delete the oldest one to make room for the next.

The emails aren't intended to be a sales pitch; it’s just a friendly automated reminder to let you know you’re running low on space, in case you’d like to take action.

One of the nice things about UpdraftVault is that it allows a little buffer, so even if you go slightly over your quota (like how yours was at 103%), your backups won’t stop immediately. It gives you a bit of flexibility to sort things out without stress.

If you’d like help adjusting your settings, feel free to reach out to our support team:

Thanks again for your review and support! 😊

Updraft & Team Updraft is the best!

The level of customer service at UpdraftPlus is beyond amazing, and to be honest, quite rare in today's world. Nick was an absolute legend. If you need anything about migrating / cloning / backups, look no further. This plugin and this team will ENSURE you get more than your money's worth, even when everyone's lost hope. They are the best, and I will keep supporting them for as long as I have a website up & running. Thanks so much Nick, and all the team at Updraft. 10 stars.

Amazing customer service!

Just started using their product - I was blown away by the incredible customer service. I mistakenly purchased the wrong option because I hadn’t properly read all the info - and they even volunteered that I could refund the purchase & suggested the best solution. Can’t fault them - amazing company and will definitely stick with their products in the future.

Exceptional Plugin with Outstanding Support - 9 Years and Counting

We have been UpdraftPlus Premium subscribers since 2016, and it was one of the first premium plugins we ever invested in. Remarkably, it's the only premium plugin that has remained in our toolkit for this long – and for good reason.

UpdraftPlus provides essential functionality. What truly sets it apart is how strategically it has evolved over the years, consistently staying ahead of WordPress backup needs while maintaining reliability and ease of use.

However, what makes UpdraftPlus truly exceptional is their customer service. It's not just good – it's outstanding. Whenever we've needed support, their team has been responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.

If you're looking for a reliable, professional-grade backup solution with a team that truly stands behind their product, UpdraftPlus Premium is the right choice. Nine years later, we're still loyal customers – that speaks volumes.

Highly recommended.

Essential & best plugin for Wordpress

I'm a bit late in leaving this reply, I started using UpdraftPlus in 2013 when it was first launched, I'm a paying customer ever since (12 years as I type this!)

I'd honestly say it's business-life-changing, I almost use this daily for migrating staging to live sites, cloning and of course leaving it to do daily or in some cases hourly backups to cloud storage.

A bit like a family member or partner, I forget how I rely so much on this reliable and essential service.

If you're thinking of buying, don't hesitate - it will feel like a life-saver when you need to restore a site which if lost due to various reasons this takes the stress out of it all.

Quick Smart Support

After struggling to solve a problem - self inflicted) I had to give up and go to sleep. I had the last "smart thought" for the day - lets leave a message for the Helpdesk - maybe they will magically solve it by morning. . .
Guess what? Woke up and the email was there - "Problem Solved!" that is just like 6 hours later!

I was having issues with understanding how to implement a pro copy of Updraft. A quick ticket to their support had a fast response and they really could not have been any more helpfull. Even though the problem was with me and not their software, they kept helping until the issue was resolved.

Their support is the best I have experienced to date. I am soo happy with the product and very sattisfied with the support when needed. This is a great company :)

A great example of customer service

A great example of customer service! Thanks to Vanessa, I am happy and my client is happy. Vanessa at UpDraft went above and beyond the SLA and that expected. I couldn't be more grateful and thankful for the knowledge and expertise that Vanessa had and used to solve the issues I experienced. I would definitely recommend UpDraft as a product and they back it up with wonderful CS Staff. Thanks again!

Disappointing Support Overshadows a Promising Product

I was initially drawn to updraftplus.com product because it showed real potential. However, my experience with their support has been nothing short of frustrating. After encountering an error while trying to use the plugin, I reached out for help. Although I received an initial reply, it didn’t address the issue, and since then, I’ve been met with complete radio silence. Good support is crucial, and without it, even the best product falls flat. Save yourself the hassle—if you’re expecting reliable assistance, you might want to look elsewhere.
