MainWP UpdraftPlus Extension

# UpdraftPlus with MainWP – All backups at the same time

We understand that managing backups can be a critical and challenging task. It is essential to have a reliable backup solution in place, and that’s where UpdraftPlus comes in. With its integration with MainWP, you can streamline your backup process and ensure the safety of your websites.

Many users have encountered an issue where all backups start running at the same time, even though each site has different backup schedules. This server overload issue can be quite frustrating, especially when you’re trying to spread out the backup times for better resource management. If you’re facing this problem, don’t worry, you’re not alone.

Now, you may wonder how to avoid this issue and optimize the backup scheduling. One workaround that some users have implemented is manually setting the backup time for each site with at least a 10-minute interval, spread out over the week. However, this solution has its limitations, as you can’t set backups for even or uneven weeks. It would be great to see more options in the MainWP implementation, allowing users to have more control over the backup scheduling, such as the ability to spread backup times and select specific weeks.

Apart from the backup scheduling issue, there seems to be some confusion regarding licensing. It’s worth noting that the UpdraftPlus backup facilities are not utilized in this case. Instead, users opt for the SFTP system to their own server with a secret port for their backup needs. However, users still receive license-related messages and prompts to enter passwords, which can be frustrating and impact the overall experience.

UpdraftPlus with MainWP integration offers great potential and convenience for managing backups. It’s crucial for the development team to address these concerns and provide a seamless experience for users like yourself. By working on improving the functionality and user experience, they can ensure that the plugin meets the expectations and requirements of its users.

In conclusion, if you’re using UpdraftPlus with MainWP and experiencing issues with backups running at the same time, it’s advisable to reach out to the MainWP team for support. They have the expertise and knowledge to assist you in resolving any integration-related problems you may face. By working together, we can enhance the backup management experience and ensure the smooth operation of your websites.

Note: The MainWP extension is produced by MainWP and not UpdraftPlus. Therefore, if you need support for the plugin’s integration with UpdraftPlus, it is recommended to contact the MainWP team directly.
