Managed WordPress to all our clients.

Welcome incremental backups

The common method to make a backup in WordPress is to copy all the files of the site, including the database. This method is blind to the changes actually made, which can be significant but small in relation to the total weight of the site.

Backup our site completely and every time we touch something is something slow, coarse, that on top affects our server and cloud storage space. The workaround is to perform incremental backups.

The incremental backups they capture only the changes made to our site since the last incremental backup. It saves us time, resources and storage space.

Make copies at the interval we want

WP Time Capsule allows us to automatically create copies at the desired time: every two hours, eight or twenty-four or as we please. In fact, it is possible to activate the backup in real time, though it's probably unnecessary for the vast majority of websites. On the other hand, we can generate a new backup copy when we need it and with a click.

The upper screenshot shows us how to configure the time interval as desired, through the initial configuration tab.

Automatic backup prior to updates

WP Time Capsule backs up automatically, either for updates that we manually approve or those that happen on their own.
