BackupNest – Backup & Restore

BackupNest lets you create complete WordPress backups (files + database), schedule automatic backups (daily, weekly, monthly), and keep a limited number of backups using a retention policy. Everything is stored locally on your own server — no external service, no data leaves your site.

Features

• Manual “Backup Now” button
• Scheduled backups — daily, weekly, or monthly
• Complete database backup
• Complete file backup
• One-click restore from any backup
• Configurable retention limit (how many backups to keep)
• Download backups for off-site storage
• Simple activity logs
• Local storage only — no external service required
• Protected backup directory with .htaccess

How It Works

1. Click “Backup Now” or set a schedule.
2. BackupNest exports your database and collects your website files.
3. It compresses everything into a single ZIP archive.
4. The archive is verified for integrity.
5. The backup is stored in a protected directory on your server.
6. Older backups are automatically removed based on your retention setting.

External Services

This plugin does not connect to any external service. All backups are stored locally on your server. No data is transmitted outside your WordPress installation.

Privacy

This plugin does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to external servers. All backup data remains on your own server. If email notifications are enabled, they are sent using your site’s own WordPress mail configuration.
