#### Backup files sent via email

The free version of the plugin allows you to send backup files via email, so long
as the file is under 20mb in size.

#### Backup files sent to Google Drive

The pro version of Nifty Backups allows you to stream your backup files to Google
Drive, within a „Nifty Backups“ folder.

#### Backup files sent to FTP

Automatically send your backup files to a FTP server with Nifty Backups Pro.

#### Backup Scheduling

Schedule backups with the Pro version of Nifty Backups – Choose to backup your database
or files daily, weekly or monthly at certain times.

#### Smart backup process

Our backup plugin breaks the backup process down into manageable chunks. This means
that with each iteration of the backup loop, a portion of your site will be backed
up. This ensures that no timeouts occur and that users on the front end are not 
negatively affected by the backup process. When done, an email is sent to the email(
s) you have specified.

#### Nifty Backup Pro

Nifty Backups allows you to backup and restore your website, both database and files,
quickly and easily with peace of mind. The free version also allows you to download
your backups and/or send it to an email address. The pro version however, allows
you to do so much more. For a once off payment of $19.99 [Nifty Backups Pro](https://codecabin.io/store/)
you will add backup scheduling, FTP streaming, Google Drive streaming, advanced 
backup options and more!

#### Coming soon

 * Incremental backups – the backup plugin will create an initial backup of your
   files and database and then incrementally add whatever has changed on your server
   to the original backup. This means that we will be able to backup your site in
   an instant without having to wait for a lengthy file backup to complete.
 * Encrypted backups – Within the next month (Dec’16) we will be adding backup encryption
   to our plugin via a secure two way encryption.
 * Dropbox – Dropbox streaming will be available in Nov’16
 * Amazon – Amazon streaming will be available in Dec’16
 * File/Folder selection – Advanced file and folder selection will be available 
   in Dec’16 – this will allow you to only backup certain folder or files
 * Website change detection – We will be releasing an update to the pro version 
   that will allow the backup plugin to identify whether your site has changed to
   a certain degree (5% or more) and then automatically backup your site

#### Backup Best Practice

When backing up your data, it is essential to use more than one backup solution.
Although we have invested a lot of time and effort into making the backup and restore
process as efficient and bullet-proof as possible, we encourage you to use more 
than one solution over and above a backup plugin. However, we do not encourage you
to use two backup plugins but rather one backup plugin and one external backup service.
This will ensure that your important data is well looked after. After all, two backups
are better than one!

#### Backup best practices

Your data is worth a lot to you. Why risk all your sales records or user information?
Data can easily be lost through via a variety of ways such as server crashes, user
errors and hosting company errors. More importantly, hackers are targeting WordPress
more and more lately due to a large number of plugin and theme exploits. How confident
are you that your data is safe?

Here are some basic steps you can take to ensure your data is kept safe and able
to be restored should the dreaded day ever come:

#### Backup Schedule

Make sure you create a backup schedule. Use the automated systems that you already
have at your disposal. All cPanel installations come with backup software. Create
a backup schedule and get email reports to make sure you are kept in the loop as
to when a backup took place, or if there were any errors during the backup.

#### Use multiple offsite backup servers

Store your data on multiple servers. Don’t keep your backups in one place and whatever
you do, do not just keep your backup files on your local server. Use services such
as Google Drive and Dropbox to store backup files.

#### Backup both your database and files

WordPress uses MySQL and files to create and display your website to your visitors.
Make sure you backup both the database and important files (wp-content folder mostly).

#### Use more than one backup provider

Use more than one backup provider. I cannot stress this enough. Using only one backup
solution is not good enough. Things go wrong. Software is not perfect. This is exactly
the reason as to why I created Nifty Backups, which I use in conjunction with cPanel
backups.

#### Efficient backup time delay

Ensure that you create an efficient delay between backups for your type of business.
If you are recording daily purchases on your website, then a daily backup would 
be recommended. Make sure to purge older backups so as to not take up too much space.

Your data is super important to you. Make sure you are covered!

 [bchalker](https://profiles.wordpress.org/bchalker/) 30. Januar 2017

Looks to be a capable backup solution…but the sticky point for most BU plugs out
there, is Multisite use. – Is this multisite-compatible? – If so, will it allow 
subsite backups or the entire network? – will it restore as well as backup? Thanks

I cannot say too often how impressed I am by the customer support I get from these
people. It is friendly, timely, knowledgeable and they go out of their way to make
sure you are satisfied. I can honestly say that in the 12 years I have been building
websites, that I have never experienced this level of customer service. Thank you
Nick and Dylan and all.
