Backup files sent via email
The free version of the plugin allows you to send backup files via email, so long as the file is under 20mb in size.
Backup files sent to Google Drive
The pro version of Nifty Backups allows you to stream your backup files to Google Drive, within a "Nifty Backups" folder.
Backup files sent to FTP
Automatically send your backup files to a FTP server with Nifty Backups Pro.
Backup Scheduling
Schedule backups with the Pro version of Nifty Backups - Choose to backup your database or files daily, weekly or monthly at certain times.
Smart backup process
Our backup plugin breaks the backup process down into manageable chunks. This means that with each iteration of the backup loop, a portion of your site will be backed up. This ensures that no timeouts occur and that users on the front end are not negatively affected by the backup process. When done, an email is sent to the email(s) you have specified.

- Website change detection - We will be releasing an update to the pro version that will allow the backup plugin to identify whether your site has changed to a certain degree (5% or more) and then automatically backup your site
Backup Best Practice
When backing up your data, it is essential to use more than one backup solution. Although we have invested a lot of time and effort into making the backup and restore process as efficient and bullet-proof as possible, we encourage you to use more than one solution over and above a backup plugin. However, we do not encourage you to use two backup plugins but rather one backup plugin and one external backup service. This will ensure that your important data is well looked after. After all, two backups are better than one!
