The Backup List shows all backups stored on your server. Each backup is a single zip file containing your database, media uploads, plugins, and themes.

• Date / time — when the backup was created.
• Size — the zip file size. Useful for monitoring storage usage.
• Type — Manual (triggered by you) or Scheduled (automatic).
• Download — download the backup zip to your local machine for offsite storage.
• Restore — restore your site to the state at the time of this backup. See the Restore section below.
• Delete — permanently delete a backup to free up disk space.

Click Create Backup Now to immediately create a full backup of your WordPress site. The backup includes:

• Your complete WordPress database (all posts, pages, settings, users)
• The wp-content/uploads/ media library
• All active plugins
• Your active theme

Scheduled backups — configure automatic backups to run daily, twice-daily, or weekly. Backups are stored on the same server as your WordPress installation. For offsite backup, download each zip to your local machine or configure S3 storage.

Retention — set the maximum number of backups to keep. When the limit is reached, the oldest backup is automatically deleted when a new one is created.

Restore replaces your current site with the contents of a backup zip. The plugin puts your site into Maintenance Mode during the restore, showing a “Down for maintenance” page to visitors.

The restore process:

1. Maintenance mode is activated
2. The backup zip is extracted
3. The database is restored from the backup SQL dump
4. Files (media, plugins, theme) are restored
5. Maintenance mode is deactivated

Important: Always download a fresh backup before restoring. A restore is irreversible — any changes made after the backup date will be lost.
