Description
AI-SiteArk backs up your entire WordPress site — the full database and your files — into a single portable archive, and restores or migrates it to the same site or a different domain.
AI-SiteArk is made by AtoZ INFOWAY. The “AI” in the name is our company’s initials (AtoZ INFOWAY) — it is not an artificial-intelligence feature.
- Full-site backup (database + uploads/themes/plugins/mu-plugins) as one
.aisvarchive. - Memory-safe, resumable background jobs — works on large sites and modest hosting.
- Restore and cross-site migration with automatic, serialization-safe URL/path rewriting.
- Optional AES-256 password encryption.
- Per-plugin data backup for AtoZ plugins (e.g. AI-Inquiro).
Free includes unlimited manual full-site backups, restore, migration, local storage, and password encryption.
Pro adds:
* Scheduled automatic backups with count + age retention.
* Off-site upload to Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Amazon S3, and FTP/FTPS, with resumable chunked uploads.
* Primary + secondary off-site destinations with failover or send-to-both redundancy.
* Incremental backups — only store files changed since the last full backup.
* Recovery points — an automatic database (and optional files) snapshot taken before every restore, so you can roll back.
* Email and webhook notifications when a backup finishes or fails.
* Role-based access — let non-administrator roles create or fully manage backups.
* Full audit trail — 300-event log with user and IP address.
External services
AI-SiteArk works fully offline and contacts no external service on its own. It only reaches
out when YOU choose to use a feature that needs it:
- AtoZ licensing (optional): the free plugin needs no account. If you connect a free or Pro
account (AI-SiteArk Pro is sold at the storefront https://wp.aiappstore.in), the plugin
contacts the AtoZ licensing service (endpoint https://api.wp.aiappstore.in) to verify your
email and license. Your email address and site URL are sent for this, and only then. Terms:
https://wp.aiappstore.in/ai-siteark/terms/ — Privacy: https://wp.aiappstore.in/ai-siteark/privacy/
No data is sent anywhere unless you enable one of these optional features.
Installation
- In your dashboard go to Plugins Add New Upload Plugin, choose the AI-SiteArk ZIP, and click Install Now (or search “AI-SiteArk” in Plugins Add New).
- Click Activate.
- Open AI-SiteArk Backup and click Start backup. That’s it — no account, key or sign-up is required; the free plugin works the moment it’s active.
- To restore or move a site, open the Restore tab (or upload a
.aisvarchive taken on another site to migrate it here — URLs are rewritten for you).
FAQ
-
Is it really free?
-
Yes. Full-site backup, restore and cross-site migration are free and unlimited, with no
account required. AI-SiteArk Pro (a separate add-on) adds scheduling, off-site cloud
destinations, incremental backups, pre-restore recovery points, notifications, role-based
access and the full audit trail. -
Do I need an account or license key to use it?
-
No. The free plugin works the moment you activate it. Connecting a free or Pro account is
entirely optional and only unlocks the Pro add-on’s features. -
Where are my backups stored?
-
On your own server, under wp-content/uploads. Off-site cloud destinations are a Pro feature.
-
Can I open a backup without WordPress?
-
Yes — a dependency-free extractor and a standalone recovery installer are included, so your
backups are never locked to the plugin.

Changelog
2.9.4
AI-SiteArk backs up, restores and migrates your entire WordPress site — the full database and your files — into a single portable, integrity-checked .aisv archive, with optional AES-256 password encryption and authenticated (tamper-evident) backups. Restore in place, or migrate to a new domain or host with automatic, serialization-safe URL/path rewriting. Backups run as memory-safe, resumable background jobs, so they work on large sites and modest hosting.
Pro adds scheduled automatic backups with retention, off-site destinations (Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Amazon S3, FTP/FTPS) with resumable uploads, incremental backups, pre-restore recovery points, email/webhook notifications, role-based access and a 300-event audit trail.
