## Description
Most WordPress sites have no backup until the day they need one. A corrupted update,
a botched migration, a hacked plugin — and suddenly months of content is gone.
**Supan Backup** gives you a safety net that actually works. Generate a complete
WXR export of all your published posts and pages, plus a full media manifest with
every image URL, dimensions, and alt text — packaged and ready to restore via the
standard WordPress importer.
One click from wp-admin. Backup history kept on disk. Optional WP-Cron schedule
for hands-off protection.
#### Key Features
* **Full WXR content export** — every published post and page, with categories,
tags, featured images, and Yoast/RankMath SEO meta preserved
* **Media manifest** — complete inventory of your media library with URLs, file
dimensions, file sizes, and alt text for surgical media restoration
* **Backup history table** — see every backup job: timestamp, status, file size,
and direct download links for WXR and manifest files
* **Backup Now button** — trigger an on-demand backup from the Tools menu in wp-
admin at any time
* **Scheduled backups** — set daily or weekly WP-Cron schedules for fully automated
protection
* **Restore via WordPress importer** — WXR files import via Tools Import WordPress
on any WordPress site
* **Token-named upload directory** — backup files are stored in an unguessable
path with .htaccess and directory-listing protection
_About the name: “Supan” (スパン) is a Japanese loanword meaning “span” — the arc
or spectrum of connections. It reflects the family of Supan plugins for WordPress
site management._
#### External Services
This plugin sends backup metadata (job status, completion timestamps) to the **Supan
API** (hosted on Google Cloud Run). WXR and media manifest files are generated locally
on your server and tracked by job ID via the API for backup-history listing.

Data sent: backup job metadata (site URL, job ID, status, timestamps, generated
file URLs). WXR content and media manifest files themselves remain on your server.
No visitor or customer data is transmitted.
#### Source Code

## FAQ
### What exactly is exported in the WXR file?
Every published post and page, including: title, content, excerpt, categories, tags,
featured image ID, Yoast SEO meta title, Yoast SEO meta description, and custom
fields. The format is standard WordPress Extended RSS (WXR) — importable via Tools
Import in any WordPress site.
### What is the media manifest?
A JSON file listing every attachment in your media library: file URL, uploaded filename,
MIME type, image dimensions (width × height), file size in bytes, and alt text.
Use it to re-download or re-import media after a restore.
### Can I restore from a WXR backup?
Yes. Standard WXR files import via **Tools Import WordPress** on any WordPress
site. For full media restoration, use the media manifest to identify and re-upload
files.
### Does it work with Yoast SEO or RankMath?
Yes. Supan Backup automatically reads and preserves your Yoast `_yoast_wpseo_title`/`
_yoast_wpseo_metadesc` meta fields in every export.
### Will it slow down my site?
No. Backup generation runs on-demand from wp-admin or via WP-Cron in the background.
There are zero frontend scripts and no performance impact on your visitors.
### What PHP version is required?
PHP 8.0 or higher.
### Is the plugin GDPR-compliant?
Backup files contain your content (posts, pages, media metadata). No visitor personal
data is included in exports. See our [Privacy Policy](https://supan.cchk.info/privacy)
for full details.
