UpdraftPlus Premium builds on the free backup plugin with professional-grade tools: sending every backup to multiple remote destinations at once, tighter scheduling and encryption, and the ability to migrate or clone whole sites. This course shows you how to use UpdraftPlus Premium and, just as honestly, helps you decide whether you actually need it. By the end you'll know what the license buys and whether it fits your setup.
What you'll learn
Once you run more than one site, or a site you can't afford to lose, disciplined backups and quick migrations become real work. Learning UpdraftPlus Premium lets you automate that discipline — layered, incremental backups across several destinations, plus a migrator and clone tool that make moving a WordPress site far less painful. You'll be able to weigh the premium features against your needs and manage backups across a fleet with proper reporting.
