Why people switch from Jetpack Backup

Both keep your backups off your server. BlogVault does more with them.

  1. 01

    Test a restore before it goes live

    Jetpack restores straight onto your live site. BlogVault opens any backup as a private copy first, so you know the fix works before your customers see it.

    Staging and migrations included

    Try updates on a staging copy of your site, and move to a new host in one click. Jetpack Backup offers neither.

It is a game-changer! Very simple and easy to set up. We backed up our site and made a staging environment in minutes. It can handle anything we throw at it: WP version updates, new themes, plugins, everything, flawlessly, the first time.

Switching from Jetpack Backup: questions

Jetpack backs up in real time. Does BlogVault?
Yes, on the WooCommerce plan, where every order is captured as it happens. On Personal and Business, backups run every 24 or 12 hours, and a restore can leave your order tables untouched so new orders are never lost.
Can I keep Jetpack for its other features?
Yes. Jetpack’s other tools don’t depend on its backup plan. Cancel VaultPress Backup once you’ve tested a BlogVault backup.
Can I run BlogVault alongside Jetpack Backup while I switch?
Yes. BlogVault’s heavy work runs on our servers, so running both adds little load. Switch Jetpack Backup off once you’ve tested a BlogVault backup.
What happens to my Jetpack Backup backups?
Keep the latest one somewhere safe. BlogVault restores its own backups, so after a few weeks its history covers everything you’re likely to need.
Will BlogVault slow my site down?
No. The plugin only sends what changed, in small pieces. Building, encrypting and storing the backup happen on our servers.
What if it isn’t right for me?
Your first backup runs without a credit card. When you subscribe, every plan has a 14-day money-back guarantee.

Backups built for scale. Restores for the bad day.
