Compare BackupBuddy vs. ProBackup

Since WordPress lacks integrated backup features, we created BackupBuddy in 2010 to address the demand for a reliable backup option for WordPress users. A host's backup may not suffice in the event of a server failure, and your site can also fall victim to various security threats such as hacks, malware, human mistakes, accidental deletions, and running harmful commands. Any of these issues can potentially erase your WordPress site permanently. Therefore, maintaining an up-to-date backup of your website is essential for safeguarding it against such risks. BackupBuddy is designed to assist you in this crucial task. To ensure a successful backup solution, four key components must be included. While some backup services may address a few of these aspects, they often leave your website exposed to risks. BackupBuddy incorporates all four essential backup features within a single plugin, allowing you to efficiently restore your WordPress site from a backup. You can also securely send and store your backup files in an off-site location. Additionally, you have the option to establish automatic backup schedules to keep your data protected effortlessly. Ultimately, BackupBuddy enables you to back up your entire WordPress site, encompassing both the database and all WordPress files, ensuring comprehensive safety for your online presence.

ProBackup is a cloud backup and recovery service for SaaS applications. It automatically backs up data from 20+ platforms — including Asana, monday.com, ClickUp, Airtable, HubSpot, Trello, Notion, Jira, Confluence, Miro and Google Workspace — once every 24 hours, creating a daily snapshot of your account. Setup takes minutes: connect each platform via secure OAuth, select the workspaces to include, and backups run automatically from then on. SaaS vendors back up their own infrastructure, not your data. If a user, integration or AI agent deletes or overwrites records, native version history often can't bring them back. ProBackup stores independent snapshots so you can recover from human error, malicious deletion, ransomware or automation mishaps. The Vault data viewer lets you browse backups in a tree structure that mirrors your source platform, filter by date to see data as it existed at any point in time, and compare record versions. Granular one-click restore recovers exactly what you need — individual tasks, records, comments, files and fields, or entire projects and boards — without overwriting existing data: restored items are recreated as copies alongside your current work. Additional features include global search across all backups, optional Google Drive sync for an extra redundant copy in Google Sheets and Drive folders, Excel export, smart alerts on unusual activity such as mass deletions, weekly status emails, and team access with per-platform view, export and restore permissions. ProBackup is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant; data is secured with AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS in transit, with two-factor authentication and SSO available. Plans from $25/month, priced by storage — not per seat — with unlimited apps per account.
