Backup & Restore
Overview
A Pro Site Tools module for local WordPress backups and restores—database, files, or full—with history, logs, integrity checks, and a dedicated admin page. Supports include/exclude rules (plugins, themes, uploads, others), retention, scheduled backups, and email notifications. Restores run with safeguards (including auth-check handling mid-restore). Requires a valid WP PowerSuite license. Local storage is private to the site—not a remote SaaS backup vault.
- Agencies that need on-site backups before risky changes
- Site owners who want restore history inside PowerSuite
- Teams pairing local backups with their host or offsite strategy
