Create Local Backups
Use manual local full, database, or files backups and review job status before update windows or risky maintenance.
Product docs
Backup & Restore Manager Documentation
Create and restore local WordPress backups with explicit confirmation, job history, local retention boundaries, and practical recovery planning.
Scope
A local backup tool can support recovery, but it should not be presented as off-site disaster recovery unless that workflow is actually configured.
For: Administrators and agencies responsible for site recovery and maintenance windows.
- The free plugin stores local backups and keeps one retained slot per backup type.
- Local backup availability depends on the WordPress host and filesystem.
- Off-site disaster recovery requires a separate verified workflow.
Workflow
Setup and operating notes
Restore With Confirmation
Use explicit restore confirmation and job history so destructive recovery steps are deliberate and accountable.
Plan Beyond Local Storage
Document retention, off-site copies, restore testing, and recovery approvals separately from local plugin backup creation.
