Installation

This is a stable backup script, I have not added WordPress Plugin integration yet, its simple but powerful for work with :

  1. Download the plugin.
  2. Unzip it on desktop and upload two files of the folder ‘backup.php’ and ‘run.php’ to the WordPress Installation root or any directory.
  3. There is nothing to activate. Point towards ‘http://example.com/run.php’
  4. Simply follow the on screen instruction, it absolutely looks like the default WordPress installation screen.

FAQ

No WordPress Installation ?

This is the first version of the Plugin. Definitely there will be lot of features like premium plugins.

I heard that these Backup Plugins are mostly paid software ?

Yes they are. But as you can see, this is a fully free plugin, aditionally many features will be added like uploading to Rackspace Cloud Files with cURL, Amazon S3, auto upload to almost all Free Cloud Storages.

What is the major difference between this WordPress FTP Full Backup Plugin and Others ?

This Plugin uses the PHP memory from outside WordPress. This is important for servers with low config. In future, there will be API based integration with WordPress Admin panel, but unlike other plugins it will never put stress on the working WordPress installation.

What is the recomanded settings for .htaccess ?

Set your PHP memory limit beyond 512 MB for smooth function. Simply add this line at the begining of your .htaccess file of the root :

php_value memory_limit 1024M

Ask your web host, the limit on PHP. If you can set PHP memory to higher yourself, doing alone will suffice.

Do I need to Donate ?

Thanks. Not needed.

I changed just 32 server accounts. The old control panel server is not allowed to create ZIP file, and the options were very limited in terms of permissions. It has not only helped me change Wordpres quickly, Prestashop shops also high-volume files have been zipped brilliantly. I have used other scripts before, but as this, as simple and efficient, no. Simply upload two files to the server, and within minutes, I had the zip file of my ftp. Fantastic
