## Description

Lite creates compact developer backups: themes, plugins, mu-plugins and core configuration
files. It excludes wp-content/uploads, images, media files, archives and database
dumps. Database dumps are available only in DeadTools AI Backup Manager PRO.

DeadTools AI Backup Manager is a free plugin for WordPress backups.

Lite features:

 * Create manual backups.
 * Download backup ZIP archives.
 * Restore a site from a backup.
 * View and download error logs.
 * Delete backup archives from the interface.

website. It is not included in this WordPress.org plugin package.
