Your backups on your storage. Not stuck in EU-only data centers behind tier-capped storage limits.
BlogVault is a self-hosted plugin that stores every backup on BlogVault's own EU infrastructure with multi-cloud redundancy. SiteVault is also self-hosted, but sends backups directly to your chosen cloud account — Amazon S3, S3-compatible providers (Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, Wasabi), Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, or FTP/SFTP. All BlogVault pricing and feature claims on this page reflect the current product as of June 2026.

Six things SiteVault delivers that you cannot get from a backup vendor that owns your storage.
Six destination options — Amazon S3, S3-compatible (Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, Wasabi), Google Drive (OAuth), Dropbox (OAuth), OneDrive, FTP/SFTP. You hold the credentials, you own the bucket, you set the lifecycle policy. The backup vendor is not the storage landlord.
Your cloud account, your limits. Amazon S3 Standard is roughly $0.023/GB/month — storing 100GB of backups runs about $28/year, paid directly to AWS. No tier upgrade because you crossed an arbitrary 50GB line, no overage email, no surprise rate hike on renewal.
Choose your AWS region directly (US, EU, Asia-Pacific), use S3-compatible providers in specific jurisdictions, or keep backups on local FTP/SFTP only. You sign the data processing agreement with your cloud provider, not with a backup vendor sitting in the middle. Matters for GDPR, HIPAA, and contract clauses with EU or US-only data residency.
Continuous checks for SSL expiry, disk space, PHP errors, database health, plugin updates, and Core Web Vitals. Catches problems before they cost you traffic or force a restore. Included with Business at $129/year — BlogVault has no equivalent feature at any tier.
Agency tier sends backup and Site Health alerts to Slack, Discord, or any custom webhook endpoint. Plus weekly HTML reports summarizing every site's status. BlogVault is email-only across every tier.
$129/year for 5 sites with Site Health. $299/year unlimited. No per-site math, no per-site retention upgrades, no per-site storage cap. For comparison: BlogVault 5-site Business is $899/year. The savings compound when you run 10 or 20 sites.
BlogVault stores all your backups on BlogVault's own infrastructure in EU data centers with multi-cloud redundancy. You do not choose the region or the storage provider. Storage is capped per plan tier (20GB on Personal, 50GB on Business, 100GB on WooCommerce); exceeding the cap requires upgrading or paying overages. SiteVault is self-hosted and sends backups directly to your own cloud account on Amazon S3, S3-compatible providers (Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, Wasabi), Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, or FTP/SFTP.
Not currently. SiteVault is scheduled-backup only: hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly cron-driven schedules. Real-time backup is BlogVault's strength on its $499/year WooCommerce tier. For most sites — including most WooCommerce stores doing under several hundred orders per day — an hourly or 12-hour schedule with selective restore is sufficient and significantly cheaper. If you genuinely need every order captured at the millisecond level, BlogVault's WooCommerce tier is the right tool.
SiteVault's bring-your-own-cloud model gives you full control. Choose your AWS region directly (US, EU, Asia-Pacific), use S3-compatible providers based in specific jurisdictions, or keep backups on local FTP/SFTP only. You sign the data processing agreement with your cloud provider, not with a backup vendor sitting in the middle. BlogVault stores backups on its own EU infrastructure regardless of where your site or your users are located; that may or may not align with your compliance requirements.
SiteVault Business is $129/year for 5 sites with Site Health monitoring included. BlogVault's 5-site Personal plan is $299/year (basic features only, 20GB/site cap, 30-day retention); their 5-site Business is $899/year. For 5 sites with mid-tier features, that is $129 vs $899 — roughly 7x. For unlimited sites, SiteVault Agency is $299/year, while BlogVault is priced per site with no published unlimited tier.
Yes. The simplest path: install SiteVault Pro alongside BlogVault, configure your cloud destination, create a fresh full backup, and verify it restores cleanly. Then deactivate BlogVault. If you want to preserve historical BlogVault backups, download them from the BlogVault dashboard first — SiteVault does not import BlogVault's proprietary backup format directly. For multi-site moves, WP-CLI scripts between live sites work well alongside SiteVault's push/pull migration tools.
Self-hosted backups, your cloud account, no storage caps, no EU-only data residency. Plans starting at $49/year with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
