SleekView for UpdraftPlus Premium: schedules, encryption & restores as tables
Read UpdraftPlus schedules, backup history, encryption status, and remote storage targets from its own options and history. Sort by run duration, filter by destination, and trigger a restore from a row without opening the full backup screen.

Stop scrolling backup history to find one restore point
UpdraftPlus stores backup metadata in WordPress options — schedules, last-run timestamps, file/database split status, encryption flags, and per-run pointers to remote storage. Its admin presents the history as a chronological list with limited filtering. Finding the most recent successful encrypted backup that was uploaded to S3 means scrolling and reading. SleekView reads UpdraftPlus's option entries and history pointers directly so the same data becomes a queryable view with the columns and filters that match how a backup admin actually thinks.
Schedules are their own concern. UpdraftPlus Premium supports separate cadences for files and database, custom remote destinations, and incremental file backups. SleekView surfaces each schedule as a row with cadence, next run, last status, destination, and encryption flag. Inline-edits go through UpdraftPlus's option API so cron registrations stay consistent and the next fire honours the change.
Restore points get a dedicated view. Filter by date, destination, encryption, or completeness (file + database vs database-only). Trigger a restore inline as a row action — UpdraftPlus's own restore engine runs the work, exactly as it would from the native screen. SleekView gives you a faster path from "I need to restore last Tuesday" to actually starting the restore.

Comparison
Default UpdraftPlus admin vs SleekView
Default UpdraftPlus admin
- Backup history is a chronological list — limited filtering by status or destination
- Schedules and remote storage live on different sub-screens
- No combined filter across encryption, destination, and completeness
- Restore selection is a sequential UI rather than a row action
- No saved views per role for ops vs developer perspectives
SleekView
- Backup history, schedules, and destinations together with shared filters
- Inline-toggle a schedule and trigger a restore as a row action
- Custom columns for destination, encryption, completeness, and run duration
- Save filtered views like "Failed runs last 7 days" or "Encrypted S3 only"
- Switch between table and kanban views grouped by status
Features
What SleekView gives you for UpdraftPlus Premium
Backup history with the columns you want
Run id, type, destination, encryption, duration, status — all sourced from UpdraftPlus's own option keys. Build separate views for nightly database backups, weekly full backups, and ad-hoc developer dumps.
Restore from a row
Pick the run you need, click restore, and UpdraftPlus's own restore engine takes over — same code path as the native UI, with the row-level convenience of skipping the chronological scroll to find the backup.
Filters that match restore decisions
Combine type, destination, encryption, completeness, and date range. Save "Last successful encrypted full backup" as a named view that always points at the most recent valid restore source.
Audience
Who uses SleekView for UpdraftPlus Premium
Backup operators
Daily "failed runs last 7 days" view, sorted by destination. Spot a degrading S3 credential or a Dropbox API throttle without scrolling history. Re-trigger a failed run inline as the row action.
Developers running restores
Filter to encrypted full backups within a date window, find the right run, restore from the row. Faster than the native flow when you already know which Tuesday morning you want.
Agencies managing many sites
Multi-site rollup view (with WP Multisite or one-site-per-WP installations) showing schedule, last run, destination, encryption status. Capability gating so client roles see only their own row.
The bigger picture
Why row-level backup ops beat history-scrolling
UpdraftPlus Premium is the most widely used WordPress backup tool because its runtime is dependable. Its admin, however, presents backup data as a chronological log rather than a queryable list. That works fine for a small site that runs one nightly job.
It does not work for an ops team with files-only daily, full-site weekly, ad-hoc developer dumps, and three remote destinations. Finding the right restore point becomes a scroll-and-read exercise; auditing destinations becomes a tab-hop; spotting a quietly failing schedule is left to whoever happens to notice the missing email. SleekView turns UpdraftPlus's existing option data into the workspace each role actually needs.
A backup operator opens "Failed runs last 7 days" and re-triggers from the row. A developer filters encrypted full backups and starts a restore in two clicks. An agency client role sees only their own run history without a restore button.
UpdraftPlus's engine keeps doing what it does well — SleekView simply gets the metadata into rows where decisions get made.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView for UpdraftPlus Premium
No. UpdraftPlus's own engine still runs every backup and every restore. SleekView is a presentation and editing surface over the metadata UpdraftPlus stores — schedules, history pointers, remote-storage settings — so daily ops and restore decisions are row-level instead of scroll-and-click. The actual work belongs to UpdraftPlus exactly as before.
Mainly in WordPress options under updraft_* keys. History is keyed by job timestamp; schedules, remote-storage settings, and feature flags each have their own option entries. SleekView reads those keys, exposes them as columns, and writes back via the option API when you edit inline. No proprietary schema involved.
Yes. Each backup record carries a destination flag (S3, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, SFTP, local). SleekView treats it as a column you can filter, sort, and group by. A "S3 only" view for cloud-only restores or a "Local only" view for staging dumps takes a few seconds to set up.
Yes. The row-level restore action calls UpdraftPlus's existing restore code path, which performs its usual integrity checks, decryption (if applicable), and handler dispatch. SleekView is purely a launcher for the existing workflow — it doesn't bypass UpdraftPlus's safeguards or write directly to filesystem or database.
UpdraftPlus Premium's incremental backups produce manifest entries that link parent + delta runs. SleekView reads those manifests and exposes a column showing whether a row is a full or incremental backup, plus a parent-run link. Filter by full-only when you want a complete restore source.
UpdraftPlus stores an encryption flag on the run record when the database is encrypted. SleekView surfaces it as a column. Filtering encrypted-only is one click — useful when your restore policy requires a known-encrypted source for compliance reasons.
Yes. SleekView views are gated by WordPress capability. A client role might see only "Last 7 days, success only" with no restore action. Your developer role sees the full history with restore enabled. Same data, different access — useful for agencies handing limited admin to clients.
No. SleekView is read-most for history and lightweight writes for schedule edits. Queries hit the options table, which is small. The actual backup work — file scans, database dumps, remote uploads — is owned by UpdraftPlus and unaffected by SleekView's presence.
