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.

Keep it current on every site. Akeeba Backup for Joomla 10.3.7, released in July 2026, is the minimum version for the CSRF hardening that was later published as CVE-2026-105296.

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 give each schedule a cron expression, such as daily, weekly or monthly.

The backup overview shows each site’s last backup, its status (Complete, Running or Errored) and how many schedules it has. Sites with no backup plugin get a Connect backup plugin button.

You can disable schedules, adjust them, or tick sites and press Backup to start backups on all of them at once.

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. The website backups page has the overview.

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 emails you according to your preferences. There are four backup emails, each with its own switch: a backup starts, a backup finishes, a backup errors, and a backup is overdue. 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.
