Zen Backup

Description

Zen Backup creates full-site backups of your WordPress installation — files and database — in a single archive. Backups can be optionally encrypted with AES-256-GCM for secure cloud storage or sharing.

Key Features

  • Full-site backup (files + database) with one click
  • AES-256-GCM encryption with auto-generated or custom passwords
  • Chunked upload support for restoring large backups
  • Real-time progress tracking during backup and restore
  • Download tokens for secure file delivery
  • Active job monitoring with cancel support
  • Automatic cleanup of stale jobs and temp files

Installation

  1. Upload the zen-backup folder to /wp-content/plugins/
  2. Activate through the Plugins menu

FAQ

Is the encryption secure?

Yes. Zen Backup uses AES-256-GCM with 100,000-iteration PBKDF2 key derivation.

Can I restore on a different site?

Yes. Upload the .zbb file via the Restore tab and provide the password if encrypted.

Where are backups stored?

Backups are stored in wp-content/zenbu/backups/ and protected with .htaccess and index.php guards.
