Total Upkeep Premium

Total Upkeep combines WordPress backups with tools for restoration, migration, monitoring, and troubleshooting. When a website has a problem, the right recovery option depends on what is affected: restore an archive, recover one file, or use the restoration script if WordPress itself is inaccessible.

Choose what to back up and where to store it

Schedule backups for a selected date and time or make them manually. An archive can include the full WordPress installation and database, or just selected files, folders, and database tables. Before creating an archive, Total Upkeep checks whether the server has the functions needed to create it properly. This check is intended to help protect backup integrity.

Total Upkeep works with remote backups through FTP and SFTP. Premium adds automatic archive uploads to Amazon S3 and Google Drive, so copies can be stored outside the site installation.

Restore a site or find an earlier file

From the Total Upkeep Dashboard, download, restore, or delete backups. If a full restore is unnecessary, Premium lets you restore an individual file in the backup browser. Historical Versions lists backups that contain a selected file, helping you find an earlier copy to restore.

Premium also includes a search for recently modified files, a way to save a file copy before updating it, and comprehensive update history. These tools can help narrow down which file or update to investigate when a change causes an issue.

When an update or WordPress installation fails

Auto rollback creates a backup before an update and restores the site to its last backup if the update fails. This can be used with WordPress, extension, or theme updates. If WordPress is corrupted and the dashboard is unavailable, the restoration script provides a way to restore a backup from outside WordPress.

Check site errors and move a site

Site Check monitors the website at specified intervals for errors that could lead to a crash. When it detects an error, it can send an email alert and automatically restore the site using the latest backup. Its historical error log and diagnostic tools provide information for investigating site issues.

To clone or migrate a site, install Total Upkeep on both WordPress installations, create a backup archive on the first site, then restore it on the second using a protected link. Total Upkeep with Cloud WordPress can also be used to create staging sites for testing plugins or themes.

Set up backups and monitoring

Install Total Upkeep on the WordPress site you want to protect. Configure a backup schedule or create backups manually, then choose the files, folders, database tables, or full installation to include. Set up FTP, SFTP, Amazon S3, or Google Drive storage as needed, and choose Site Check intervals if you want monitoring.

For migration, install the add-on on both websites, create the source backup, copy its protected link, and restore the archive on the destination. Support resources include the Getting Started guide, support forum, Team Orange User Group, support library, and questions portal.
