At MainWP, we believe backups are a challenge already well-handled by dedicated tools in 2024. Instead of pulling development and support resources into building and maintaining our own backup system, we’re focused on adding features that truly enhance your site management experience.

Backups, especially for a self-hosted Dashboard managing multiple Child sites, come with complex demands that require constant updates and troubleshooting. Building a native backup solution would mean slowing down work on new features we know you’re waiting for.

That’s why we offer backup extensions that connect you with top-tier providers and provide free API-based backups for popular hosting platforms. This way, you get reliable backups from services built specifically for that task, while we keep advancing the features that make MainWP work even better for you.
