Automated scheduled backups, incremental file sync, one-click staging, one-click migration, and AES-256 encryption in one plugin. 6 storage destinations (Amazon S3, Google Cloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, SFTP, FTP), no per-site quotas, and no SaaS lock-in — your backups stay on storage you control. Business adds Site Health monitoring; Agency adds real-time Slack & Discord alerts.
Most WordPress sites are one disaster away from total loss. A hacked site, a bad update, a server crash - any of these can wipe out years of content, SEO rankings, and revenue.
SiteVault Pro is your safety net. Automated cloud backups run daily without you lifting a finger. Instant staging lets you test changes safely. And when disaster strikes, one-click restoration gets you back online in minutes, not days.
A backup plugin shouldn't bloat your site. SiteVault Pro packs cloud storage, scheduling, staging, encryption, and migration into ~250KB — roughly 50× smaller than the largest competitor. Approximate Pro-zip sizes from official downloads and GPL mirror snapshots, May 2026.
Here's the complete list of what SiteVault Pro ships with, grouped by what each one does for your backups, monitoring, and recovery.
See your backup status at a glance. The clean dashboard shows your latest backups, storage usage, and scheduled tasks without overwhelming you with options.
Store backups safely off-server with support for all major cloud providers. Your backups survive even if your entire server goes down.
Create a complete copy of your site for testing. Try updates, test new plugins, or make design changes without risking your live site.
Only backup what's changed. Incremental backups are faster, use less storage, and put minimal load on your server.
Configure every aspect of your backup strategy. Set schedules, retention policies, and notification preferences to match your needs.
Move your site to a new host or domain with ease. Automatic URL replacement and serialized data handling make migrations painless.
Monitor your site's health from one dashboard. Track SSL certificates, disk space, PHP errors, database health, plugin updates, and Core Web Vitals with automated checks every 12 hours.
A backup that lives on the same server as your site isn't a backup. SiteVault Pro ships native integrations for the storage providers WordPress operators actually use — including S3-compatible alternatives that run substantially cheaper than AWS at the same durability.
The industry-standard. Plus all the S3-API-compatible alternatives that run cheaper: Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, Wasabi.
DO's S3-compatible object store. Flat $5/mo for 250GB, predictable pricing, fast NYC / SFO / SGP / FRA / AMS regions.
Google's object storage with HMAC-key authentication. Useful if your stack already uses GCP for hosting or analytics.
For teams already in Dropbox. App-folder install pattern keeps SiteVault from touching anything else in your account.
Personal + Microsoft 365 / Business accounts. Same OAuth pattern as Dropbox, with SharePoint tenant support for enterprise.
For sites that already pay for off-server storage at their host or NAS. Protocol-level support, not a third-party hop.
Multi-destination mirroring lets you ship the same backup to two providers at once — e.g. DigitalOcean Spaces for primary + Backblaze B2 for cheap long-term archive. Real durability without paying twice for AWS.

Pricing accurate as of May 2026 from vendor sites. Tier names and exact pricing change — check vendor sites for current details. “Add-on” means the feature requires a separate paid extension; “S3 only” means the plugin supports AWS S3 but not S3-compatible alternatives like R2 / B2 / Wasabi. Site-count column reflects the lowest paid tier for each vendor (entry) and the largest tier (highest); SiteVault is the only vendor in this comparison whose entry tier covers a single site.
Same plugin, different recovery story. Pick the angle that matches what would hurt most if you lost it.
Set-and-forget protection
Daily incremental backup to Dropbox or Google Drive, weekly full to a second destination, automatic retention. The setup that catches both "I deleted my own post" and "host had a fire."
Order data is irreplaceable
Hourly DB backups so you never lose more than 60 minutes of orders. Site Health monitor watches SSL expiry, disk fill, and Core Web Vitals so you don't lose checkout to silent issues.
Recovery point objectives
Granular schedules so user data has a tight RPO. Staging-to-production for safe migrations / upgrades. WP-CLI commands integrate cleanly with your CI / deploy pipeline.
Unlimited sites, white-label
One $299/yr license, unlimited client sites. Slack / Discord alerts route directly to your client channels. Weekly health reports, white-labeled, sent automatically.
