Hi all, I recently started my own ecommerce store with Woocommerce and I'm wondering if there is a free backup solution? So to backup my store, database - everything - in case something goes tits up. I have a NAS drive which could be used for storage. Any ideas? Thanks

I'm in the same boat. I like this one:

Despite the name it's a backup solution.

Yeah, just a manual process before I implement major changes. I've restored backup both on the same and different servers using this. Fairly straightforward.

I got it and I did a backup - the automated scheduled backup is a paid feature as well as uploading to an FTP server, but will do at the moment - at least I have A backup just in case

Updraft. Some upload destinations are locked behind pro, but some options are free.

It's really worth the cost to know your site can be restored if you aren't happy with the free upload options. I personally upload to onedrive folders, one for each site I host.

I like Updraft a lot. Pro is worth it. IMHO
