## Description

Webangon Site Backup gives site owners a straightforward way to create a file backup
before WordPress updates, theme changes, plugin changes, or migration work. It adds
a single page (Tools -> Webangon Site Backup) with one button. Clicking it zips 
the source directory (wp-content/uploads by default) into a .zip stored in the existing
uploads directory. A read-only list shows the archives created.

Uses the PHP Zip extension when available, otherwise the pure-PHP PclZip bundled
with WordPress (needs only zlib).

### Filters

 * `webangon_site_backup_capability` – capability required (default `manage_options`).
 * `webangon_site_backup_source_dir` – absolute path of the directory to zip (default:
   uploads).
 * `webangon_site_backup_backups_dir` – where to store the .zip files.

### Notes

 * The zip is built in a single request. On very large sites this can be slow or
   hit `max_execution_time` – keep the source directory reasonable, or point `webangon_site_backup_source_dir`
   at a smaller folder.
 * When a separate backups directory is configured, that directory is excluded from
   the archive so it is never zipped into itself.
