Entabit Backup provides simple, reliable local backup functionality for WordPress sites. Create complete site backups including database, themes, plugins, and uploads with a single click. Download backup files directly to your computer for safe storage.<\/p>\n\n
Entabit Backup is designed with privacy in mind and does not send any data to external servers.<\/p>\n\n
wp-content\/entabit-backups\/<\/code> by default, or in the path configured by ENTABIT_BACKUP_STORAGE_DIR<\/code><\/li>\n- Completed backup ZIP archives are stored in the active storage root's
completed<\/code> subdirectory<\/li>\n- If the preferred\/custom storage root is not writable, backup files may be stored in
wp-content\/uploads\/entabit-backups\/<\/code> (using its own completed<\/code> subdirectory)<\/li>\n- All logs and metadata are stored in your WordPress database<\/li>\n
- No data is transmitted to external servers or third-party services<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Security considerations<\/h4>\n\n\n- Backup files contain sensitive information including database credentials from wp-config.php<\/li>\n
- Access to backups requires WordPress administrator privileges<\/li>\n
- Downloaded backup files should be stored securely on your local computer<\/li>\n
- The backup directory is protected with deny files where supported, but server configuration should also prevent direct public access<\/li>\n
- PHP 7.2 is allowed for legacy site compatibility, but it is end-of-life; PHP 8.3 or newer is recommended by WordPress.org for better security<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Data retention<\/h4>\n\n\n- Backups are stored indefinitely until manually deleted by an administrator<\/li>\n
- Backup files remain on disk when the plugin is deleted; remove backup files from
wp-content\/entabit-backups\/completed\/<\/code>, wp-content\/uploads\/entabit-backups\/completed\/<\/code>, or your custom ENTABIT_BACKUP_STORAGE_DIR\/completed\/<\/code> manually if you no longer need them<\/li>\n- Activity logs are stored indefinitely in your database<\/li>\n
- No automatic cleanup or data transmission occurs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
\n- Upload the
entabit-backup<\/code> folder to your \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory<\/li>\n- Activate the plugin through the WordPress admin panel<\/li>\n
- Visit the Entabit Backup dashboard to create your first backup<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
\nHow do I create a backup?<\/h3><\/dt>\nVisit the Entabit Backup dashboard in your WordPress admin and click \"Create Backup Now\".<\/p><\/dd>\n
Where are backups stored?<\/h3><\/dt>\nBackup storage uses these roots:\n* Default root: wp-content\/entabit-backups\/<\/code>\n* Custom root: ENTABIT_BACKUP_STORAGE_DIR<\/code>\n* Fallback root (if preferred\/custom root is not writable): wp-content\/uploads\/entabit-backups\/<\/code><\/p>\n\nCompleted backup ZIP archives are stored in each root's completed<\/code> subdirectory.<\/p><\/dd>\nWhat happens to backups if I delete the plugin?<\/h3><\/dt>\nBackup files are preserved when the plugin is deactivated or deleted. If you want to remove backup files first, use the Uninstall Options section on the Entabit Backup dashboard, delete individual backups from the Backup History table, or manually remove the backup storage directory afterward.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Can I download backups?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes, each completed backup has a Download button in the backup history table.<\/p><\/dd>\n
What happens if I delete a backup file manually?<\/h3><\/dt>\nThe dashboard automatically synchronizes with the filesystem on each load, removing orphaned database records.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
