Backup 1000s of Sites from One Dashboard

Backup 1000s of Sites from One Dashboard

With mySites.guru you can set and forget your backup schedule and let it handle running your backups and notifying you if there’s a problem.

What makes a backup worth having?

There is only one kind of backup worth having: one that actually restores.

mySites.guru uses Akeeba Backup under the hood, the best backup solution available for Joomla and WordPress, inside a centralised dashboard.

Akeeba has been around since 2006. Millions of downloads, high praise in the Joomla Extensions Directory, three J.O.S.C.A.R. awards. One goal: backup, restore and transfer your site in a snap. It supports WordPress too.

How does the mySites.guru backup scheduler work?

Scheduling backups across many sites has always been the annoying part of managing Akeeba. mySites.guru handles that as a centralised scheduler for all your connected sites.

If you have thousands of Joomla and WordPress sites in your dashboard, managing their Akeeba connections from one place just makes sense.

Connecting Akeeba to mySites.guru takes a single click. From there, pick the backup profile to run and set a schedule: daily, weekly, or monthly.

The backup overview dashboard shows each site’s last backup date and status at a glance.

You can disable schedules, adjust them, or start backups across all your sites with one click.

How do you backup 1000 sites with one click?

mySites.guru queues all the sites and processes the backups as fast as your servers can handle.

Where are your backups stored?

Wherever you tell Akeeba to store them.

With Akeeba Backup profiles, you set the destination: Amazon S3, Dropbox, Azure, BackBlaze, Box.com, Rackspace, FTP, or your own server (though we don’t recommend keeping them only on the server).

Are backups stored in mySites.guru?

No. Never. mySites.guru triggers and monitors your backups, but the files themselves live wherever you tell Akeeba to put them.

How do backup notifications work?

The scheduler notifies you based on your preferences: when a backup starts, when it finishes, and always when something goes wrong. Your bookkeeper or accountant is excluded from backup alerts by default, so operational noise never ends up in their inbox.

WordPress users: All-In-One Migration Plugin support

WordPress users aren’t limited to Akeeba. You can also use the All-In-One Migration Plugin for your backups. The same scheduling interface and features are available in mySites.guru for that plugin too.

For guidance on fitting backups into a broader update and maintenance workflow, see the managing CMS updates at scale guide.

mySites.guru is one of the pillars of our operation. The cost for the full suite is less than I would expect to pay for a single function (site upgrades, extension management, audits, backup triggering, secure logins, etc) and Phil is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to troubleshooting. If you are running a website without this platform, chances are something is lurking under the hood that this would uncover in a minute.

I've been with mySites.guru for years now, and it's a central function of my business. Managing multiple site updates at once has saved me untold hours of work to have otherwise needed to login to many sites individually. The other tools to remove unnecessary files, automate backups of websites and scan for malicious code are also extremely helpful. On many occasions, timely warnings from Phil Taylor about security holes in components, plugins and core CMS updates have saved me a lot of grief before bad things happened to my websites. When bad updates have already broken my websites, Phil was always two steps ahead and has surgically accurate information readily available to fix them. Sure, there are other similar services and self-hosted solutions out there, but having all of the things I've mentioned in one place and on one control panel are worth the price of admission in my book. Thank you Phil for all your hard work and for the service you provide to the Joomla and Wordpress communities!
