Hey, we just took your WPMU DEV membership to the next level by giving you 10GB unlimited site managed cloud backups.<\/p>\n

Oh, and guess what? It’s part of your regular WPMU DEV membership so is gonna cost you zero dollars and zero cents<\/strong> :)<\/p>\n

How does it all work? Well, first up you can manage all of your backups along with your sites through The Hub (just sign up for a free trial of WPMU DEV<\/a> to have a play, or if you are already a member, go to My Websites<\/a>).<\/p>\nNow you get even more out of Snapshot! We have made even more great improvements and you can try it all absolutely FREE!<\/span>FIND OUT MORE<\/span><\/a>\n

And there you have it, all that you need to do is install (or update) our backup plugin\u00a0Snapshot<\/a>\u00a0and every site you manage via WPMU DEV will come with managed backups.<\/p>\n

What’s that I hear? You wanna check out some of the features? Well, sure thing!<\/p>\n

Scheduled and One-Off Backups<\/h3>\n
\n\n\n\n
\"The
The managed backups dashboard.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

By default, when you set up Snapshot you’ll run an initial backup and\u00a0also<\/strong> set up a backup schedule.<\/p>\n

So as soon as you’re up and running we’ll backup your site, by default, on a weekly basis, storing the latest three backups, which you can easily configure up or down.<\/p>\n

Then we’ll recycle the oldest with a new one. How easy is that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n

10GB Storage to Use on Unlimited Sites… For Free!<\/h3>\n

Yep, that’s a nice healthy 10GB of storage space there for you, absolutely on the house.<\/p>\n

And\u00a0there’s absolutely no limit (as with all of WPMU DEV) on the number of sites you can use it with.<\/p>\n

We’re starting with 10GB ‘cos it seems like a nice, reasonable amount, but\u00a0there will definitely be options for more in the future and you can easily manage it by setting your number of stored managed backups to less than three.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Snapshot
Snapshot is standing by, ready to backup your WordPress site.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

And Store to FTP, S3, Dropbox, Google Drive…<\/h3>\n

And if you do run low on data, you can always take advantage of Snapshot’s native third party integrations, which are as easy to set up as clicking Add New.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\"Snapshot
Snapshot storage to other locations is sooooper easy, so you never need to worry about running out of space.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

And When it Comes to Restoring, Oh My!<\/h3>\n

Restoring couldn’t be easier. Just visit The Hub and select\u00a0the managed backup you would like to restore.<\/p>\n

You can also download the backup directly if you like and review where the backup is stored.<\/p>\n

And then we’ve got options for you.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Easily
Easily restore your website from backup.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

So, ideally your site is still up, in which case you can just click on the top box (or follow the navigation) to restore via Snapshot itself.<\/p>\n

But sadly we want to restore a managed backup because WordPress is broken, disks have been corrupted etc.<\/p>\n

So we’ve got you covered for that, too!<\/p>\n

Just download\u00a0the backup, upload our Snapshot installer and then click the link in step 2 and you’ll be guided through a complete restore.<\/p>\n

Woohoo!<\/p>\n

And We’re Not Done Yet…<\/h3>\n

So first up we’ve got a spanking new version of Snapshot itself coming out soon, which will make things a lot more beautiful and easy to use (as well as adding in some cool new things).<\/p>\n

But most\u00a0importantly, we’re here to serve you, our members, so how about you take our new managed backups for a spin and let us know what extra features you’d like.<\/p>\n

And if you’re not already a member, sign up now for a 14-day free trial to try it out<\/a>!<\/p>\nNow you get even more out of Snapshot! We have made even more great improvements and you can try it all absolutely FREE!<\/span>FIND OUT MORE<\/span><\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
