Imagine if your fully operational WordPress website were to crash suddenly, just when it was gaining popularity, or just before a sale – it would be nothing less than a nightmare for you, wouldn’t it?
We understand how devastated you would feel if something like this were ever to happen to your site. Crashing of a website when one’s work is near completion or already completed, and losing all settings and data can be really painful to deal with.
Sometimes, even minor things like adding a new plugin or changing your website’s theme can result in your site to crash. Also, apart from these, there other major reasons like changing core files or implementing a hack that can cause you to lose all your site’s content.
Hence, having a backup of your WordPress website becomes crucial for the recovery of lost data in the case that your site crashes, gets hacked or so. BlogVault offers a top-notch backup service that will help you to backup, migrate, download or restore your WordPress sites.

More about BlogVault
- Incremental Backup
BlogVault generates a complete backup of your WordPress site the first time round and from then onwards, each time it creates a backup, it only updates the backup by adding new data and the changes made to existing data instead of generating entire backups every time. As it only increments the existing backup, it saves time and space on servers. Other run-of-the-mill backup services generate full backups every time they generate one, thereby piling huge amounts of data on the servers.
