Cloud-first approach = speed + performance

Rocket fast. That’s our promise.
After your initial backup, only files that have changed are backed up. What’s the point in backing up the same file over and over again? Yeah. We don’t see the point either. That’s why we don’t waste your resources making you do it.

Need to restore? One click. Done.
(Okay, we ask you if you’re sure…but we promise the actual restore process is one click).

No more logging in and out of multiple systems. No more trying to remember where something is. Thanks to our centralized dashboard, where Solid Backups – NextGen are managed, everything is in one place. Easy to find, providing you with efficiency and time savings.
For even more valuable features, including uptime monitoring and more advanced reporting, consider upgrading to Solid Central Pro.

Get contextual information around your backups with the Activity Timeline.
Each backup card lists the date and time of the backup as well as how many posts, pages, and uploads were backed up.
Want to restore a site from the backup that ran yesterday? Simply select the Restore site button.

Efficient, automatic versioning of files maximizes storage by eliminating the need to store multiple copies of files

Even if you diligently enforce best practices for security on your site, circumstances outside your control can lead to a site breach. Anyone will tell you that reliable, automated, secure backups are an indispensable last line of defense when the worst occurs. Being able to rapidly restore from a known-good backup can save untold hours of effort, prevent downtime, and preserve your revenue stream.
Solid Backups — NextGen was engineered by some of SolidWP’s top WordPress security minds, making it the tool of choice when it comes to making sure your backups are safe, secure, there when you need them.

FAQ

Your Solid Backups — NextGen purchase includes a one-year subscription for ticketed support from the Priority Support Team and updates we release while your subscription is active. We recommend renewing your subscription for continued access to updates, support, and new features.

Yes. Solid Backups — NextGen backs up your WordPress database, plugins, files, themes, scripts, posts, settings, widgets, plugins, and everything else in the WordPress database and file system. You can optionally include additional database tables or exclude directories.

Cloud-first means that we are initiating the backup from SolidWP’s cloud servers, using cloud resources to operate the backup, and then storing the backup in the cloud. The fact that all of the horsepower comes from our side means we are not taxing the resources of the hosting server and that creates a massive performance gain.

This is completely different from how BackupBuddy/Solid Backups and other plugin-based backup solutions work. With those products, a plugin uses your hosting server’s resources to initiate and schedule your backups. They also require the site to function in order to run, which consumes the same resources your sites need in order to perform well. The backups dramatically increase the disk storage a site requires. Moving plugin-based backups to “offsite” storage requires connecting to 3rd-party cloud providers or downloading backup files and managing them manually, which leads to a mess.

Using a cloud-native, server-driven approach simplifies the entire process for site admins. It allows sites to be reliably backed up and for backups to be placed in the context of a timeline of activity related to your sites in Solid Central, which provides a simple place to handle all the critical management and maintenance tasks associated with keeping your sites up and running.

Solid Backups — NextGen officially supports only the current and last major versions of WordPress. Solid Backups — NextGen will work with older versions of WordPress with reduced or minimum core functionality. Still, we do not offer official support for versions of WordPress older than the last two major releases.

When a site is enrolled in Solid Backups — NextGen for the first time, the system will perform a complete backup, including the entire database and all the files. Each subsequent daily backup will include the entire database as well. For the site’s files, however, Solid Backups — NextGen will perform incremental backups, capturing only the files that have been changed or added. This will occur under the hood (largely invisible to the user) but is what contributes greatly to the performance of Solid Backups — NextGen. When a user wishes to restore (or download a ZIP) from a particular point in time, the concept of “incremental” vs. “complete” won’t really be a factor. The entire site (files & database) will be included. But the work which was done to create that backup will have made use of incremental backup methodologies (at least as far as the files are concerned) along the way.

Versioning is what makes Solid Backups — NextGen fast. After the initial backup, the database and only the files that have changed are captured in subsequent backups. This is a significant improvement over Solid Backups and BackupBuddy which implemented a full backup each time.

Solid Backups — NextGen does what you actually need it to do. Your managed host may not.

The way most managed hosts implement WordPress backups is slow, cumbersome, and simply doesn’t handle backups the way you actually want to use them. Let’s say something happens: you’re hacked. You want to restore to a point prior to the incident. Choosing which restore point you wish to restore to is often difficult, and it can be a pain to find what you’re looking for.

Solid Backups — NextGen lets you select the restore point in the helpful context of a timeline of site activity. From there, you can either restore it or download a zip to a local machine, giving you exactly what you need.

You don’t have to replace the solution you currently have.

You can take the “belt and suspenders” approach, maintaining your existing backup system- and this all-new cloud-based backup solution. But once you use Solid Backups — NextGen, you will undoubtedly like the way we do it better. NextGen is faster and easier to use.

Solid Backups — NextGen has been tested on the following hosts:

LearnDash Cloud
Bluehost
NameCheap
Siteground Shared
Hostinger
Nexcess
LW VPS with cPanel
LW VPS with InterWorx
Dreamhost
GoDaddy Managed
GoDaddy Shared
SpinupWP (via DigitalOcean)
WPX (litespeed server)
Generic VPS (Ubuntu/nginx)
A2 Hosting
Kinsta
IONOS
MochaHost

There are several hosts we currently do not support. In most cases, this is due to the fact that the host either blocks traffic or they don’t have an SSH option. See the list of unsupported hosts in our documentation center.

No need! This system eliminates the very concept of remote destinations, a fundamental selling point of the “old system.” With Solid Backups — NextGen, you don’t need a Dropbox – or any other remote destination account – at all. Everything is backed up to SolidWP servers.

However, if you choose to use a remote destination for your WordPress backups, you will have the ability to download a zip and upload it elsewhere.

To request that third-party storage providers be integrated into Solid Backups — NextGen in the future, add your vote and a comment to this feedback item.

Solid Backups — NextGen requires SSH (Secure Shell) or SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) access because these methods provide secure access directly to your hosting server, ensuring that the software can back up from and restore to your server safely without exposing it to possible vulnerabilities from insecure methods or protocols, and without requiring that your site is even functional

SSH and SFTP methods also efficiently handle the transfer of large backups and restores, and offer the flexibility to automate the backup and restore process.
