First you need to install the plugin on sites and conducted BackWPUp Job creation for it.In Job creation is also very simple and I had more guidance here so will not say more over here.

After you create a Job, you need to be aware that each Job will have a unique ID as follows:

Or if you've installed WP-CLI then, then cd into the source directory and typing WordPress on a VPS wp backwpup jobs to view a list of the jobs are.

And now you go to the WordPress Admin -> BackWPUp -> Backups will see the backup files are displayed in the following.

Well, needless to say, if you set the Destination Job to send files through 3rd party services when running this command will send the file it away for you too. Of course you can not use these methods to send files to sites like Dropbox, Amazon S3, Rackspace if you use localhost or a virtual domain set in the hosts file, because it will be checked before receiving the data domain.

Some other commands BackWPUp

In addition to the start command to execute the Job, it also has some other commands which you can see by typing wp backwpup. I would like to explain some of the command line as follows:

• wp backwpup abort - abort jobs is working
• wp backwpup jobs - View a list of jobs
• wp backwpup start -jobid = <JOBID> - Execute a certain job, I said at the top
• wp backwpup working - View a list of jobs that are running

III. WP backup database command in CLI

WP CLI commands supported wp db export to backup the database you are using a file .sql. So if you just need to backup the database then cd multitude of websites to backup folder and run this command is finished.
