@vinodhdavid and his team has done a tremendous job at this one. WP Time Capsule is an automated incremental backup plugin that backs up your website changes as per your schedule to Dropbox, Google Drive, and Amazon WP Time Capsule was created to ensure peace of mind with WP updates and put the fun back into WordPress. It uses the cloud apps' native file versioning system to detect changes and backs up just the changed files and db entries to your account. How is WP Time Capsule different than other backup plugins? WPTC is unique in 3 ways - 1. It backs up and restores only the changed files & DB and not the entire site every time. 2. The files & DB are stored in your cloud storage app - Dropbox, Google Drive or Amazon S3. 3. We have used the cloud apps' native file versioning system to detect changes and maintain file versions. So backups and restores are as reliable as they get. How does it work? 1. Install the plugin and login with your wptimecapsule.com account. 2. Next, connect the cloud app where you want to store the backup files. You can use Dropbox, Google Drive or Amazon S3. 3. Once you connect the cloud app, we will automatically begin backing up your complete website to your cloud app account. After the first full backup is taken, you can schedule a time for WPTC to backup your websites. We will take care of your backups from here on. This being done you will officially be disaster-ready. :) Backup: Looks for files & DB changes since the last backup and uploads only the changes. The data is then stored securely in your cloud app account. Restore: Checks revision history and displays the same. You can restore the site to any point in time or restore specific files & DB. How is it better? BACKUP METHOD Traditionally - Backups are compressed and zipped. The Bad: Heavy server resource consumption. WPTC - No zipping. Changed files are directly dropped into your cloud account. The Good: Uses considerably less server resources BACKUP FILE Traditionally - Multiple zip files are created every time you backup. The Bad: Precious storage space is wasted. WPTC - Backs up incrementally. No multiple copies of files. The Good: Uses far less disk space RESTORE Traditionally - Unzip backup and restore the whole site. The Bad: Consumes time and server resource. WPTC - Restores only selected files. The Good: Faster restore
