Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records EffortLess Backup And Restore version 1.0.37 as active, updated 20d ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
A straightforward backup and restore plugin:
One backup automatically every day, taken through WordPress’s own scheduler (WP-Cron), with a fallback check on admin page loads so a low-traffic site doesn’t silently miss a day.
An “Instant Backup” button on the plugin’s Backups page for an on-demand backup at any time.
Every backup — automatic or instant — is kept for 7 days, then automatically deleted to save disk space.
Restoring a backup replaces the current database and wp-content files with that backup’s contents. A safety backup of the current state is taken automatically immediately before any restore.
Each backup can also be downloaded (database dump and files archive separately) for an offline copy.
No shell access or external service required — the database dump is generated entirely in PHP, and files are archived with PHP’s own zip extension.
On WordPress Multisite, one backup and restore covers the entire network at once (see the Multisite FAQ entry below) — managed from Network Admin, Super Admin only.
External services
This plugin does not call any external service. Every backup is generated and stored entirely on your own server.
