Smart Backups
Codeavour Smart Backup & Restore introduces Smart Backups using an incremental chain architecture. The first run creates a full baseline backup. Subsequent smart backups detect and package only the modified files and updated database tables.
This drastically reduces backup file sizes, saves server bandwidth, and minimizes CPU utilization.
Selective Backup
With Selective Backup profiles, you can tailor your backups to specific needs. Choose to backup only the database, only themes, only plugins, or specific media folders. Exclusion patterns allow skipping cache directories, log files, or custom paths.
Cloud Storage
Secure your backups offsite by connecting your favorite remote storage providers:
– Google Drive
– Dropbox
– Microsoft OneDrive
– Amazon S3
– FTP / SFTP
Scheduled Backups
Built-in automated backups powered by WordPress WP-Cron. Site administrators can schedule Daily, Weekly, or Monthly backups from the Settings page and receive email notifications upon completion.
