Prerequisites : You must already have infinite-wp installed onto your server to complete the following steps.

How to backup in infiniteWP:

Hover over “protect” and click “Backups”:

Click “Create New Backup”:

Select all websites and click “Enter Details”:

Give backup a name and click “Backup Now” (I usually leave the default settings):

That’s it! Now you can update your plugins without having to worry about the site breaking! Because if it does, then you can just restore the backup you just made!
