Descripción
Database Backup Manager is a professional WordPress plugin that gives administrators full control over database backups — all from the comfort of the WordPress admin panel.
Core Features
- Dashboard — at-a-glance database statistics: total tables, database size, last backup date and type.
- Full Database Backup — export your entire database as SQL or ZIP with a single click.
- Selected Tables Backup — check individual tables from a searchable, sortable list and export only what you need.
- SQL & ZIP Export — choose between a plain
.sqlfile or a compressed.ziparchive. - Backup History — every backup is logged with filename, date, type, format and file size. Re-download or delete from the History screen.
- Scheduled Backups — use the built-in WordPress Cron integration to schedule automatic full backups: daily, weekly, or monthly.
- Backup Retention — automatically prune old backups to stay within a configurable limit.
- Security first — nonce verification,
manage_optionscapability checks, input sanitisation, output escaping, and a protected backup directory on every request.
Planned Features (v2.1+)
- Cloud storage integration (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive)
- One-click restore from SQL or ZIP backup
- Email notifications for successful / failed backups

Preguntas frecuentes
-
Where are backup files stored?
-
Backups are stored in
wp-content/plugins/database-backup-manager/backups/. The folder is protected by.htaccessand a blankindex.phpto prevent direct web access. -
Can I change the backup format?
-
Yes — from DB Backup Settings you can set the default format to SQL or ZIP. You can also override the format per backup from the Dashboard.
-
How do scheduled backups work?
-
The plugin uses the WordPress Cron API (
wp-cron). Choose daily, weekly, or monthly from Settings; the next scheduled run time is displayed automatically. -
Will this work on large databases?
-
The plugin processes tables one at a time, which works well for typical WordPress databases. For very large databases (hundreds of MB) consider increasing PHP
memory_limitandmax_execution_time.
