About this plugin
A WordPress backup is only useful if you know what it contains, where it is stored, and how restore will be reviewed before changes are applied. Site owners often need a clear local backup before a plugin update, theme change, content push, migration test, or risky maintenance window.
Web Plura Backup & Restore Manager is a local WordPress backup and restore plugin for site owners, developers, and agencies who want deliberate backup jobs, restore review, and restore readiness inside wp-admin.
Use it when you need a manual WordPress backup before updates, a database-only backup before content work, a files-only backup before theme/plugin changes, or a local restore workflow with checkpoints and confirmation. The plugin focuses on controlled local backups rather than automatic offsite backup storage.
WordPress backup problems it helps review
Backup & Restore Manager is built for local readiness checks such as:
- Manual WordPress backup before plugin, theme, or core updates.
- Full-site backup when files and database should be captured together.
- Database-only backup before content, order, or settings work.
- Files-only backup before theme, plugin, upload, or asset changes.
- Restore-point review, replacement confirmation, resumable job progress, and local backup slot validation.
Free Local Mode is the default and works without any cloud connection.
Free Local Mode keeps one retained local backup slot per backup type: full-site, database-only, and files-only. Each new backup of the same type replaces the previous slot only after explicit confirmation. wpbridx metadata, and restore requires Web Plura Backup & Restore Manager rather than generic unzip/import steps.
Jobs page can resume failed Free Local Mode jobs from their last saved checkpoint. Cloud-managed failed jobs remain governed by cloud workflow authority.
org plugin is local-only and gives site owners deliberate local backup and restore workflows with checkpoints and job history. Cloud operations, account validation, hosted package downloads, and advanced disaster recovery support belong to separate hosted Web Plura services.
