Features

The feature list from the plugin's own readme on WordPress.org, trimmed to the essentials.

  • Full WordPress backup: your files and your database in one ZIP
  • Custom backup: pick the database, WordPress core, plugins, themes, uploads or other folders, and untick any folder you do not need
  • Scan before backup: see the file count and the estimated size before anything starts
  • Built for large sites: the scan, the database export and large archives run in short, resumable steps. Archives above 5 GB use a streaming ZIP64 engine
  • No mysqldump needed: the database is exported through WordPress’s own database connection
  • Backup verification: every archive is checked before it replaces your previous backup
  • Protected storage: backups are kept in a protected folder with random file names and can only be downloaded by a logged-in administrator
  • Simple management: download or delete your backup from the BackupScope screen
