About this plugin
AI Backup full helps administrators and developers work faster with WordPress site data. It can search records in the wp_options table by keyword, export matching options to JSON, import a JSON backup, and create downloadable ZIP files for installed plugins or themes.
Use it when you need a lightweight backup or migration helper inside the WordPress dashboard. The free plugin is fully usable on its own, and it also provides AI provider settings, a clean add-on hook, and Freemius checkout integration for a separate AI Backup Pro plugin.
The product direction is benchmarked against mature WordPress backup tools: reliable file/database backups, scheduled backups, rapid restore workflows, migration tools, remote storage, advanced retention, reports, encryption, privacy controls, multisite, and WP-CLI support.
