How is WP Time Capsule different than other backup plugins?
WPTC is unique in 4 ways –
1. It backs up and restores only the changed files & DB and not the entire site every time.
2. The files & DB are stored in your cloud storage app – Amazon S3, Wasabi, Backblaze, Dropbox or Google Drive.
3. We have used the cloud apps’ native file versioning system to detect changes and maintain file versions. So backups and restores are as reliable as they get.
4. Most importantly, you can backup your site in real-time which means you will now be able to revert your site to how it was just an hour ago. Also, you can change the backup interval to every 6 hours or 12 hours or daily.
How does it work?
1. Sign up an account on our website https://wptimecapsule.com and you will get a 30 days full featured trial.
2. Install the plugin and login with your wptimecapsule.com account.
3. Next, connect the cloud app where you want to store the backup files. You can use Amazon S3, Wasabi, Dropbox or Google Drive.
4. Once you connect the cloud app, we will automatically begin backing up your complete website to your cloud app account.
After the first full backup is taken, you can schedule a time for WPTC to backup your websites. We will take care of your backups from here on.
This being done you will officially be disaster-ready.
Backup: Looks for files & DB changes since the last backup and uploads only the changes. The data is then stored securely in your cloud app account.
Restore: Checks revision history and displays the same. You can restore the site to any point in time or restore specific files & DB.
How is it better?
BACKUP METHOD
Traditionally – Backups are compressed and zipped. The Bad: Heavy server resource consumption.
WPTC – No zipping. Changed files are directly dropped into your cloud account. The Good: Uses considerably less server resources
BACKUP FILE
Traditionally – Multiple zip files are created every time you backup. The Bad: Precious storage space is wasted.
WPTC – Backs up incrementally. No multiple copies of files. The Good: Uses far less disk space
RESTORE
Traditionally – Unzip backup and restore the whole site. The Bad: Consumes time and server resource.
WPTC – Restores only selected files. The Good: Faster restore and you can restore even if you don’t have access to your site or plugin.
