Sneak preview: UpdraftVault

What’s been going on inside UpdraftPlus labs lately?

This has…

That’s a screenshot of the (extremely simple) setup for connecting your WordPress site to our new product: backup storage for your site.

Also known as “UpdraftVault”, we’re going to be making it really easy to backup your WordPress site, without needing any other suppliers, or technical skills to set up. Just click and go!

UpdraftPlus will, of course, still be supporting all the existing storage options – Dropbox, Google Drive, S3, FTP, OneDrive, etc. But now we’ll be bringing a new choice to you as well; one that we think you’ll find attractive. Our current plan is that customers of UpdraftPlus Premium will receive 1 gigabyte of storage (i.e. 1024Mb) for free, with an option to purchase more.

Built upon a world-leading cloud providing 99.999999999% reliability and multiple redundancy (using Amazon’s world-class computing farms on the back-end), there won’t be any compromise on quality. What there will be, will be ease of use. Just type in your updraftplus.com password to make the connection, and that’s it. No fiddly keys, no accounting hassles – just easy backups. Moreover, it’ll be storage you can access from updraftplus.com – one central location, including the ability to disconnect any sites you no longer want backing up to your space (e.g. a site belonging to an ex-client for which you handled managed backups).

We’re still finishing the work, working out the exact details of pricing, and testing everything out, but we hope to see this in the next release of UpdraftPlus. Watch this space!

If you not yet purchased our flagship product, UpdraftPlus Premium, then please take a look. When we decide on the free storage allowance, it’ll be received by all current customers – so don’t hold off; get the best WP backup experience today!
