How to back up individual database tables

The ability to back up individual tables is one of the many features of UpdraftPlus Premium.

Backup individual tables as opposed to the whole site database.

Imagine you’re about to make an update to some products in WooCommerce on your online shop.  Before you do this, you can now backup just the WooCommerce tables, giving you the ability to rewind without needing to backup/restore the entire site if something goes wrong.

This is one of the many benefits of UpdraftPlus Premium with many more planned this year, so upgrade today to benefit!

The ‘Backup Now’ dialog now has something to click to expand next to the database option. When it opens, it now shows a list of tables (see above).
