Top Features

One click backup

That's all it takes to create a full site backup. The archive includes your database, files and the restoration script.

Multiple formats available

Standard ZIP archives, highly optimised JPA archives or AES-128 secured JPS archives. It's your choice.

Customizable Backup Profiles

You get to choose what should be left out of the backup. Files or tables. And with multiple backup profiles you only set it up once.

Automatic Configuration

Akeeba Backup configures itself, optimally for your server. Have a problem? ALICE, our automated log analyser, will provide you with the right solution based on our years-long experience.

Migrate. Move. Duplicate.

Migrate your site to a different server. Move it to a different location. Or create an exact clone. With Akeeba Backup, it's a piece of cake!

Take it to the Cloud

What good is a backup if your server goes down forever? Don't risk! Let Akeeba Backup automatically copy it to the Cloud. Built-in support for Amazon S3, DropBox and much more!

Automatic Backups

Akeeba Backup can take backups automatically. With four different automation ways, one is always compatible with your site. Let it backup and sleep tight!
