Hosting Backups Fail When Hosting Fails
If your host has a datacenter incident, your site and its backups are in the same building. Off-site storage is the only real protection against infrastructure failures.
Most WordPress sites rely on hosting backups that fail when you need them most. SysWP creates off-site backups of your database and files directly to Backblaze B2 — the most cost-effective cloud storage available. Zero middleman. Zero data touching SysWP's servers.
Your host's built-in backups feel like protection — until the day you actually need them.
If your host has a datacenter incident, your site and its backups are in the same building. Off-site storage is the only real protection against infrastructure failures.
Most hosting backup restores are all-or-nothing. You can't restore just your uploads folder from 3 days ago without overwriting everything else currently on your site.
Traditional backup plugins create archives on the same server, consuming CPU, disk I/O, and memory during your peak hours — the worst possible time for a performance hit.
Remote backup storage from hosting companies often costs $3–15/month extra per site. Backblaze B2 costs a fraction of that — approximately $6/TB/month. For most WordPress sites, that's cents.
When you cancel hosting, the backups go with it. With SysWP + B2, your backups are yours, in your own B2 bucket, under your own account — permanently accessible regardless of hosting.
Your files go straight from your WordPress server to your B2 bucket. SysWP only sends the command and receives the metadata.
Three backup types, direct cloud upload, signed download links, and automatic retention — all managed from your SysWP dashboard.
Compressed SQL dump of your entire WordPress database, gzipped and uploaded directly to your Backblaze B2 bucket. Includes all tables. Organized as syswp/{hostname}/db/.
Uploads, themes, and plugins are backed up as separate TAR.GZ archives. Restore just what you need — no full-site restores required for a single folder change.
One click triggers database + uploads + themes + plugins backup simultaneously. All four components share a group ID in your SysWP dashboard for organized management.
Archives are created and streamed directly from your WordPress server to Backblaze B2 using the B2 Large File API. SysWP never receives or stores your files. No temp disk usage on large sites.
Access any backup directly from the SysWP dashboard. Secure, time-limited download links (1-hour validity) generated on demand. No public file exposure — your backups stay private.
Old backups are automatically removed after 30 days. Keep your B2 bucket lean without manual cleanup. Retention period is configurable to match your needs.
No FTP. No complex configuration. Connect once, back up anytime from your dashboard.
Install the SysWP Monitor plugin on your WordPress site. It handles all archive creation and upload communication without impacting your site's performance.
Enter your Backblaze B2 Key ID, Application Key, Bucket ID, and Bucket Name in SysWP settings. Your credentials are stored encrypted and never leave our servers.
Select Database, Files, or Full backup from your SysWP dashboard. Full backup creates 4 separate archives (db, uploads, themes, plugins) in one operation.
The WordPress plugin creates the archive and uploads it to your B2 bucket in the background. No server timeouts. No temp disk usage. Download any archive from the dashboard.
Signed 1-hour download URLs generated on demand from your dashboard.
