BackupBuddy 6.1 dropped overnight and includes several new features and enhancements for Deployment and Remote Destinations. Here’s a quick overview of what’s new in BackupBuddy 6.1:

Deployment No Longer in Beta

The Deployment bug list currently lists ZERO bugs as of this latest release and customers have been loving this new ability to push and pull changes between WordPress sites. Because of this, we’re officially removing BETA from the Deployment feature.

Deployment: Ability to Selectively Deploy the Theme and/or Child Theme Separately

When pushing and pulling between sites, you now have the option to deploy the theme and/or child theme separately. Note: The Active theme (and child theme) must match between both sites for this option to be available.  pull-active-wordpress-theme

Deployment: Ability to Selectively Deploy Plugins

Instead of all or nothing, you can select individual plugin(s) using the same select box like database table selections. pull-active-wordpress-plugins

Remote Destinations: Ability to Manually Force a Retry on a Failed or Timed Out Remote Send

From the BackupBuddy > Remote Destinations page, click the View Recently Sent tab. From here, you can now manually force a retry on a failed or timed out remote send. retry-backup-send

New Recent Activity Tab on BackupBuddy Settings Page

Check out the brand new Recent Activity tab on the BackupBuddy > Settings page that lists recent BackupBuddy activity. backupbuddy-recent-activity

Remote Destinations: Timed Out Remote Sends Now Automagically Retry the Transfer

Remote sends detected as being timed out now AUTOMAGICALLY retry the transfer to work around temporary issues (such as a momentarily overloaded server or network issues).
