Website backups are one of the most important safety mechanisms for any WordPress site. Updates can occasionally fail, plugins may conflict with each other, and security incidents or server outages can happen without warning. When something goes wrong, having a recent backup often makes the difference between restoring your site in minutes or rebuilding it from scratch.

For years, WordPress backup plugins have relied on external cloud services such as Google Drive or Dropbox to store off-site backups. While these solutions work well, they require connecting third-party platforms and managing multiple services.

The Backup Migration plugin changes this approach by becoming the first WordPress backup plugin that provides its own free cloud backup storage, called BackupBliss. Instead of relying solely on external services, users can store backups directly in a secure cloud environment designed specifically for WordPress backups.

Set Up Automatic Backups in a Minute

Getting started with Backup Migration is straightforward. After installing and activating the plugin from the official WordPress plugin repository, you can immediately create backups using its optimized default settings. The interface is designed to keep the process simple, allowing you to generate a backup with just a single click.

For long-term protection, it is recommended to enable automatic scheduled backups. The plugin allows you to configure periodic backups that run in the background without manual intervention. By default, many users choose to run weekly backups of the entire website, though the schedule can easily be adjusted depending on how frequently your website changes.

Once scheduled backups are enabled, the plugin will automatically create backup files at the chosen intervals. These backups can then be uploaded to your preferred cloud storage location, ensuring that your data is stored safely outside your hosting environment.

Connect BackupBliss Cloud Storage

To store backups in the BackupBliss cloud, you first need to create a free BackupBliss account (you don’t need a credit card), which comes with 1GB of free space. Once your account is ready, you can generate an API key that securely connects your storage space with the Backup Migration plugin.

Inside the plugin menu area, navigate to the section labeled “Where shall the backup(s) be stored?”. From there, select BackupBliss and enter your API key to establish the connection. After the plugin successfully verifies the key, your BackupBliss storage will become available as a backup destination.

From that point forward, each backup can be automatically uploaded to the BackupBliss cloud storage. This ensures that your website backups are safely stored off-site and remain accessible even if your website or hosting server experiences problems.

A Simpler Way to Protect Your Website

Reliable backups should not be complicated. With automatic scheduling, simple configuration, and the addition of BackupBliss cloud storage, Backup Migration makes it easier than ever to protect a WordPress website.

By combining a powerful backup plugin with its own dedicated cloud storage, Backup Migration offers a new approach to WordPress backups, one where creating secure, automated off-site backups takes only a couple of minutes to set up, and then runs quietly in the background to keep your website protected.
