WPvivid Backup for MainWP

79 Quality Score

Active Installs

18/30

With 10,000 active installs this is a niche tool, reflecting its narrow role as a bridge between two specific products rather than a general-purpose backup plugin.

Update Freshness

25/25

The last update timestamp is timestamped in the future, which is unusual, but the plugin does appear actively maintained within a recent window.

User Rating

14/15

A 92 out of 100 rating from 9 users is a strong score, though the small sample size limits how much weight it should carry.

Support Health

8/15

Zero support threads and zero resolutions yields a mediocre support health score, suggesting either low demand or unresolved issues that have not been documented publicly.

WP Compatibility

15/15

Full marks on compatibility, claiming to work with WordPress 7.0 and PHP 5.3, though the PHP 5.3 minimum is dated.

What It Does

This is a MainWP extension that lets you control WPvivid Backup on every connected child site from a single MainWP Dashboard. You can trigger, schedule, and monitor backups across your network without logging into each site individually. It effectively turns WPvivid into a centralised backup tool for agencies running multiple WordPress installations.

Who It's For

This is built for MainWP users, specifically agencies, freelancers, and hosting providers who already manage 5 or more WordPress sites and rely on WPvivid for their backup solution. It is not useful unless WPvivid is your backup plugin of choice on the child sites.

Who Should Skip It

If you do not use MainWP or do not use WPvivid on your child sites, this plugin does nothing for you. Anyone running a single site or preferring UpdraftPlus, Jetpack Backups, or Duplicator should skip it entirely.

The Bottom Line

WPvivid Backup for MainWP is a focused utility that does one thing well: centralising WPvivid backups across a MainWP network. Its 79.21 overall score and 10,000 installs confirm it as a dependable but niche tool, not a general backup solution. Adopt it only if you are already on both WPvivid and MainWP.

Pick UpdraftPlus if you want a battle-tested standalone backup plugin trusted across 3 million installations, with its own Multisite and remote storage features built in.

All-in-One WP Migration and Backup 98/100

Choose All-in-One WP Migration if your priority is one-click site migrations or cloning rather than recurring scheduled backups.

Duplicator – Backups & Migration Plugin 95/100

Pick Duplicator when you need reliable full-site migrations and package-based backups, which is its core strength.

Jetpack – WP Security, Backup, Speed, & Growth 94/100

Choose Jetpack Backups when you want backups bundled with security and performance tools from Automattic, though it is more expensive at scale.

WP STAGING – WordPress Backup, Restore, Migration & Clone 92/100

Pick WP STAGING if your main use case is creating staging environments or clones rather than remote off-site backups.
