Backuply review
A focused backup suite for hosting environments, with server and WordPress coverage.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Backuply is a backup product family for hosting providers and WordPress site owners. Its server offering supports Webuzo, cPanel, and DirectAdmin, while the WordPress plugin covers scheduled backups, restoration, migration, cloning, cloud storage, and WP-CLI support on paid plans. The product is suited to operators managing hosted accounts, multiple sites, or both server-level and WordPress-specific recovery workflows.
Pricing is divided between server and WordPress plans. With Softaculous costs $0 per server per month and includes the full Backuply Server feature set plus unlimited accounts, provided an active Softaculous license is in place. Standalone Monthly costs $5 per server per month, while Standalone Yearly costs $55 per server per year; both include one license per server, unlimited user accounts, and full pro functionality. WordPress plans include Backuply Cloud at $18 per site per year, Personal at $39 per site per year, Professional at $69 per 5 sites per year, and Business at $249 per year for all sites. Cloud storage ranges from 10GB to 100GB across the listed WordPress plans.
Backuply’s main strength is its recovery depth for hosted environments. Server backups can be full or incremental, use multiple schedules, apply account filters, and restore selected files, databases, email, domains, SSL, cron jobs, or FTP accounts. Local and remote destinations include Amazon S3, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox, FTP, and SSH/SFTP, with Restic, Borg, and Rsync incremental engines. WordPress operators also get one-click backup and restore, migration, cloning, and cloud storage. Choose Backuply when hosting infrastructure or WordPress operations are central to the requirement; organizations seeking a general-purpose backup product outside those environments may prefer a broader platform.
