WPvivid Backup for MainWP for WordPress

The good stuff

What really clicked was the ability to set custom schedules for individual sites. Like, I don’t need all my client sites backing up at 3 AM. So I set some to daily, others weekly, and even scheduled specific ones for post-update runs. And the bulk install/update feature? Huge win. I had three sites on the free version of WPvivid, and instead of going site by site, I upgraded them all in under two minutes. The remote storage options are also nice - I push backups straight to Dropbox, so they’re safe even if my server dies. Oh, and you can hide certain modules per site if you want to keep things clean. That little detail saved me from client confusion.

The not-so-good

It’s not perfect. The interface is… functional, but not pretty. No frills, no polish. If you're used to sleek dashboards like with UpdraftPlus, this feels a bit dated. Also, there’s zero built-in email notifications. You’ll get no alert if a backup fails - you have to go check manually. And yeah, the developer’s unknown, which makes me pause a little, especially since it’s handling backups. Still, it hasn’t let me down yet. But if you need hand-holding or support that actually replies fast, this might not be your jam. Also, it only works with MainWP Dashboard 4.0 or later - so if you’re stuck on an old version, skip it.

Bottom line

If you’re managing multiple WordPress sites via MainWP and need reliable, centralized backups without overpaying, this is worth downloading. It’s free, it works, and it saves real time. Not the flashiest tool out there, but it does its job quietly and well. For anyone already using MainWP and tired of juggling backups across sites, WPvivid Backup for MainWP for WordPress for Wordpress is a smart move. Give it a try - it won’t break anything, and it might just make your life easier.
