BACKUP FEATURES

= Simple, One-Click Backup Interface =

Backup Bolt provides a clean and straightforward interface designed to make WordPress backups easy for everyone. Start a backup with a single click without navigating through complicated settings or technical options.

Custom Backups to Save Storage

Create a custom backup when you only need selected site files or data. This helps reduce backup size, save storage space, and make downloads faster when a complete site backup is not required.

Complete WordPress Site Backups

When you need full protection, create a complete backup of your WordPress site. Back up your site content and essential WordPress files together in one convenient archive.

Backup Size and Available Memory Information

Before and during the backup process, Backup Bolt helps you understand the expected backup size in relation to available memory. This gives you useful information when preparing larger backups.

Faster ZIP Backup Processing

Backup Bolt uses the PCLZIP library to process and package backup files into ZIP archives. This provides a practical way to create compressed backups while keeping the workflow lightweight.

Real-Time Backup Progress Logging

Follow the backup process through real-time activity logs. The progress information makes it easier to see what Backup Bolt is doing and helps you monitor the status of an active backup.

Efficient Large Backup Creation

Backup Bolt is designed to generate large backups efficiently, helping you protect bigger WordPress websites without an unnecessarily complicated process.

Download Backups as ZIP Files

Once the backup is complete, download it as a compressed ZIP file. ZIP archives are convenient to store, transfer, and keep available for future site recovery needs.

Automatic Daily Backup Cleanup

To help manage storage consumption, older backup files are automatically deleted daily. This keeps backup storage under control and helps prevent unnecessary files from accumulating on your server.
