Hi Guys,

In today's video, we are going to see how to backup and restore the WordPress site

If you have an AWS account, I would recommend using amazon s3 for faster backup and restore.

You can watch this video to learn to create an AWS account and install WordPress on it. -    • How to Install WordPress on AWS for Free |...  


In the WordPress dashboard, hover your mouse on the plugins and click add new.

In the search field, type updraft

We are going to use this plugin to backup and restore our site.

Click install now

Once installed, click activate

Now click press here to start or go to settings → updraftplus backups

In the updraft dashboard, click settings

In the settings, you can schedule the backups and choose the type of remote storage options that will be used when performing a backup

Note that some options might need to be paid.

Choose google drive (I will also show you how to use amazon s3 in the later part of the video).

Scroll down and click save changes

Now, click the link to connect your google account

Select your account and click Allow

Finally, click complete setup

Using google drive will take some time to backup and restore. However, it is the simplest method to configure.

Now, let’s use Amazon S3

Using this method will result in faster backups and restore.

Go to settings and select Amazon s3

Now, we need 3 things to connect s3.

Access key, secret key, and location of the storage bucket.

Go to AWS management console

Now, let’s create a user and give access to S3.

Search for IAM and open it

Click User and click add user

Type a name and select programmatic access.

Click next: permissions

Click Attach existing policies directly and search for S3

Now select AmazonS3FullAccess and click next

Click next again

Finally, click create user

Now, we have the access key and secrete key

You must download them by using the link provided. (Or else you won’t have access to it again)

Click close.

Now, let’s create an S3 bucket

Go to services, type S3, and open it.

Click Create Bucket

Type a name for it

Scroll down and click create bucket

Now the bucket has been created

The name of the bucket will also be its location

So now we have all the three things that are required to connect the S3.

Copy the name and get back to the updraft backups.

Paste it in the s3 location.

Now open the downloaded file

Copy the access key and secrete key and paste them in the corresponding field.

Click Test S3 Settings

If you get a popup that updraft can access the storage bucket, everything is configured perfectly and ready to backup using s3.

Scroll down and click save changes

So now we configured the settings

To back up the site, go to backup/restore and click backup now

And click backup now again

So now, the backup will start running.

Once completed, you will end up with a popup stating that the backup has completed.

All the backups will be shown at the bottom.

To restore it, just click restore.

Now select all the five options and click next

On the next, click restore

Wait for the restoration process to complete.

Now, our site is restored.
