How do I back up my site to remote storage (Google Drive/Dropbox)? Print

  • 0

Sending backups off-server protects you if the server itself fails. Common options:

  • WordPress plugin: install UpdraftPlus (or similar), connect it to Google Drive or Dropbox, and schedule automatic uploads of files and database.
  • cPanel remote destination: if your Backup tool supports additional destinations, you can configure remote FTP/cloud targets there.
  • Manual: download a full or partial backup from cPanel and upload it to your cloud drive yourself.

For non-WordPress sites, the plugin route will not apply, so a scheduled script or manual upload works best. Whatever method you pick, test a restore occasionally so you know the backups are good. Need a hand setting this up? Open a ticket.
