Updraft Vault
Return to Updraft Plus or WordPress
UpdraftVault is the secure, zero-hassle way to download, store and manage all of your WordPress backups from one central location.
Why choose UpdraftVault?
- Simple - Our Vault saves you having to depend on other remote storage systems. Because it’s been specifically tailored to UpdraftPlus, you won’t have to figure out how it works and then deal with setups, passwords, fiddly keys and accounting bother. UpdraftVault is fully integrated into the plugin, so you can connect and back up in just a couple of clicks.
- Flexible - As well as being extremely simple and intuitive to use, it also makes your backups easy to locate by organizing them into neat categories. You’ll be able to manage them easily from one central location, and you can also access them from any website you’re backing up via the WordPress dashboard.
- Secure - UpdraftVault is an extremely secure off-site storage location. It’s built on Amazon S3, a world-leading Amazon cloud that provides 99.999999999% reliability, redundancy and high scalability. We’re giving all our UpdraftPlus customers 1Gb of free UpdraftVault storage space, with the option of purchasing more.
Is UpdraftVault data encrypted?
Yes: data is both sent over an encrypted connection to the storage cloud and stored encrypted on the server. Encrypted storage on the server requires your WordPress install to be running PHP 5.3 or later (which is very likely – the PHP version before that, 5.2, was end-of-lifed in January 2011).
You can also encrypt your database with a passphrase only known to you (whether for storing in UpdraftPlus Vault, or any other remote storage method) using the option in the ‘Settings’ tab in your UpdraftPlus page in your WordPress dashboard.
Where is my data stored?
UpdraftPlus Vault will store multiple (i.e. redundant) copies of your backups at data-centres in multiple locations. Although we cannot guarantee the precise location of your data, it will be at the nearest possible location, prioritizing data centres within your continent.
