To offer a more consistent user experience and to support upcoming enhancements, all backups will run from our Europe (Germany) region from August 1st, 2022.
If your backups are configured in our Asia (Singapore), Oceania (Sydney) or North America (Canada) region then please switch to one of our endpoints in Europe (Germany) before August 1st, 2022.
You can easily change the endpoint on the integration settings page. You don't need to delete any nodes or integration. Change Endpoint
We offered multi-region support since 2018. However, the configuration of server hardware & bandwidth is different in every region. This makes our development process slow and user experience inconsistent across different regions.
We have recently deployed our storage cluster in Germany with our hosting partner Hetzner and we are working on adding more resources to support the development of new enhancements.
If you have any questions then please use our live chat or contact us at support@backupsheep.com
Our new storage cluster is live and being used for new backups. This object storage is S3 compatible and based on Ceph(https://ceph.io/en/). We are working on moving existing backups in the next 1-2 days.
This storage system will allow help us with the following features in the next few days.
Allow access to storage buckets using any tool which supports S3.
Push backups to BackupSheep storage buckets.
Create new buckets from the dashboard and assign storage buckets to nodes.
This storage cluster is hosted in Falkenstein, Germany with hosting partner Hetzner. It's configured in a way(Erasure Code Pools with 4-2 profile) that cluster can continue operating with the loss of multiple drives or servers.
We want to thank you for all the amazing feedback from our users who are using our WordPress plugin. We have made several enhancements and added a few new features as well.
If you choose your storage account for the website, database or WordPress backup and for some reason BackupSheep is unable to upload files to your storage then BackupSheep will automatically upload files to Free Storage included in your plan.
Your original storage selection will remain in place for future backups. Before starting backups BackupSheep will validate if storage is properly working to be used for backup.
Smart storage selection will work for both on-demand and scheduled backups.
Now you can validate your storage integrations using Validate button on the storage integrations page and also when you select storage locations for your backups.

You can connect your WordPress websites with BackupSheep using the plugin. The integration setup process is very simple and you can run on-demand backups and schedule backups right from the BackupSheep dashboard.
The account menu has been updated to show your plan details and the ability to switch to a different account if other accounts have shared access with you.
The logs module is now available. You can get an insight into your integration, nodes and backups.
Logs will show any error messages during a backup run. You can filter logs based on the node, backup and integration. We have added logs buttons and there's a dedicated logs page which shows everything.
We will make enhancements to the logs module in the coming days.
