Core server configuration such as wp-config.php and .htaccess is excluded: save these separately for disaster recovery. #### Included Free features * Full/selected backup and restore: database, plugins, themes, uploads, other wp- content and supported WordPress core files. * Individual Posts, Pages, Categories and Tags backup and selective restore; preserve parent and category/tag relationships where possible. Media must be backed up separately for complete image restoration. * Resumable and low-memory backup jobs, local Daily/Weekly backups, retention and email reports. * Admin-only ZIP downloads, backup history, quick/deep verification, SQL/ZIP preflight and storage health checks. * Manual AES-256-GCM vault encryption/decryption and optional S3-compatible manual vault upload, audit/download and recovery-catalog tools, using administrator- supplied credentials. * Optional manual Google Drive upload: OAuth 2.0 connect with your own Google Cloud project, explicit privacy consent, private encryption passphrase, resumable transfer and integrity metadata checks. * Read-only snapshot comparison and Free WP-CLI backup, archive analysis, selective packaging, and migration planning tools. #### Optional Pro edition Automatic encrypted Google Drive and S3/R2 uploads, authenticated delta package creation and advanced CLI staging-recovery commands are not included in this Free package. The dashboard shows small informational cards that link to https://indiatvdna. com/ only when an administrator chooses to open them. No locked premium code, trial quotas, telemetry or license checks are included. #### Important security and scope Archive size and record count have no artificial Free-edition paywall; provider/ server disk space, PHP, ZIP and database limits still apply. Backups can contain customer and credential data: store them securely, protect access, keep encryption passphrases offline and run a full test restore on staging before relying on disaster recovery. A local ZIP is not a complete server configuration snapshot. WordPress staging, multisite and WooCommerce restore compatibility depend on installation details and are not guaranteed without tests. ### External services Local backup/restore does not use any external service. External transfers are OFF unless the administrator explicitly configures and initiates them. #### Google Drive When the administrator connects Google Drive, OAuth uses Google authorization and token services. A manually selected ZIP is locally AES-256-GCM encrypted before being sent over HTTPS to Google Drive under the administrator’s account, with the limited drive.file scope. Google receives encrypted vault bytes and file metadata; the original ZIP remains on the WordPress server. OAuth credentials are stored with local encryption using WordPress salts. Disconnect stops new requests; previously uploaded files remain in the user’s Google Drive. Google login may require a verified/ published OAuth client with allowed test users. Service: https://drive.google.com/ Privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy Terms: https://policies.google.com/ terms #### S3-compatible storage An administrator may manually upload encrypted vault files to a chosen S3-compatible provider, whose identity, endpoint, privacy terms and cost are selected/configured by the site owner. Encrypted vault content and object metadata go directly to that provider only when requested. The plugin itself is not a cloud-storage service. Amazon S3: https://aws.amazon.com/s3/ ; Privacy: https://aws.amazon.com/privacy/ Cloudflare R2: https://www.cloudflare.com/developer-platform/r2/ ; Privacy: https:// www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/ #### IndiaTVDNA website The plugin includes optional View Pro cards and a small Buy Pro Version link in the plugin-owned admin page header, pointing to https://indiatvdna.com/. No information is sent to that site unless the administrator explicitly clicks a link. ### Source code and build instructions The plugin is distributed as human-readable source code. All PHP is shipped in this ZIP. assets/admin.js is shipped as editable JavaScript, with a separately formatted human-readable equivalent at assets/admin.source.js; assets/admin.css is editable. No transpiler, minifier or external build tools are needed. There is no hidden source repository dependency and the distributed JavaScript can be edited directly. Standalone PHP CLI-only database/disaster-recovery scripts are provided separately as optional offline tools and are not installed into a public web directory. ### Backup storage safety New installations use a dedicated vault inside the WordPress uploads directory resolved via wp_upload_dir(), under indiatvdna-backup-restore. Before creating or transferring any unencrypted backup, the plugin checks that a direct HTTP request cannot read a random probe file from the vault. If a host ignores .htaccess (for example, many Nginx configurations), the plugin blocks new backups until the site administrator configures server-level access denial. Existing user-configured private vault paths and backups are retained. The plugin cannot guarantee every host’s restore permissions. All core/plugin/theme filesystem restores must be explicitly initiated by an administrator and may fail on read-only hosts. Use a separate staging installation to verify restores. Never expose downloaded unencrypted backup ZIPs publicly. ## Screenshots [[ [[ [[ [[ [[ [[ [[ [[ [[ [[ ## Installation 1. Upload and activate the plugin. Open the Backup & Restore menu in WordPress admin. 2. Select components, make a local backup and run verification before depending on it. 3. Use Restore / Migrate to preview and restore on a separate staging site first. 4. Optionally configure Google Drive with your own Google Cloud OAuth Web application, correct HTTPS Redirect URI and a separate 16+ character offline-kept passphrase. Explicitly accept upload privacy notice, then initiate uploads manually. 5. For manual S3/R2 operations you must configure your own S3-compatible credentials and encryption settings in private server configuration. ## FAQ ### Can I back up and restore without paying? Yes. Full and selective local backup and restore work without a license or cloud service. ### Are there upload size limits in Free? No premium paywall quotas. Hosting, filesystem and third-party limits still apply. ### Is Google Drive automatic in Free? No. Google Drive upload is manually initiated in Free after the administrator connects and consents. ### Do I need a paid cloud account? No provider account is required for local backups. Remote storage accounts can have provider-imposed usage or charges. ### Can I restore directly from Google Drive? No. Download the vault through Google Drive, import/decrypt in Vault & Cloud, then verify and restore the ZIP. Keep the passphrase safe. ### Is every server setting included? No. Back up wp-config.php, .htaccess and other sensitive server configuration separately. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “IndiaTVDNA Backup & Restore” is open source software.

Existing backup paths and file-storage behavior are unchanged. #### 1.0.5 * Make storage metadata migration deferred and fail-safe instead of running filesystem writes during WordPress plugin loading. * Preserve existing backups, signed storage metadata, and legacy upgrades. #### 1.0.4 * Store the signed recovery backup-location marker in a private plugin-specific uploads directory instead of writing to wp-content. Preserve and migrate older markers without moving existing backups. #### 1.0.3 * Moved the durable storage-location marker to a non-executable file; safely reads and migrates the old PHP marker without changing the private backup path. Recovery job markers now commit atomically. * Escaped all dynamic diagnostic labels and server data in dashboard-generated HTML. * Removed obsolete edition-specific option filtering while preserving existing Google Drive consent, nonce and account requirements. #### 1.0.2 * Removed the Google Drive Free/Pro background-worker entitlement gate; encryption and administrator consent remain mandatory. * Switched legacy admin-menu compatibility CSS and JavaScript to WordPress enqueue and inline APIs. * Stopped creating executable PHP in mu-plugins during restore; private recovery markers and staged runtime isolation remain. High-risk restores require staging verification. * Moved independent offline-only CLI recovery scripts out of the public plugin archive into a separate optional package. * Documented readable JavaScript source and the no-build source workflow. #### 1.0.1 * Corrected Google Drive permission-message translation domain and the Free edition privacy-policy title. * Improved direct-web-access protection for the then-bundled offline recovery scripts, explicit AJAX nonce checks, input validation and readme formatting. * Added a single, discreet Buy Pro Version link to the header of the plugin’s own admin screens (including diagnostics). No outside requests are made without a click. * No changes to the backup, restore, security or cloud engines. #### 1.0.0 * First Free release candidate. Functional local backup and restore, manual encrypted cloud tools and Google Drive OAuth kept. Premium-only automatic cloud scheduling, delta-package creation and staging CLI engine omitted. ## Meta * Version **1.0.7** * Last updated **2 days ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 6.2 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.1.4** * PHP version ** 7.4 or higher ** * Tags * [backup](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/backup/)[database](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/database/) [google drive](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/google-drive/)[migration](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/migration/) [restore](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/restore/) * [Advanced View](https://wordpress.org/plugins/indiatvdna-backup-restore/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
