Everything you need to protect your WordPress site

Full Site & Selective Backup

Back up your entire WordPress installation — files, database, plugins, themes and media — or choose exactly what you need.

• Full backup: files + database in a single ZIP
• Database only: export just your MySQL database
• Files only: back up all WordPress files without the database
• Custom exclusion rules: skip cache, videos or any folder
• Automatic exclusion of WordPress cache directories

5 Cloud Destinations

Upload your backups to the cloud automatically after every backup. Connect multiple services simultaneously for redundant protection.

• Google Drive: OAuth2 authorization, folder selection
• Amazon S3: any region, custom bucket and prefix
• Wasabi: S3-compatible, low-cost cloud storage
• Dropbox: OAuth2, folder picker
• Microsoft OneDrive: personal and business accounts
• Upload to multiple destinations in parallel
• Optional: auto-delete local backup after cloud upload

AES-256 Encryption

Your database contains sensitive information. Nota Backup & Restore encrypts it with military-grade AES-256-CBC encryption before adding it to the backup ZIP.

• AES-256-CBC encryption for database backups
• Password stored encrypted using WordPress secret keys
• Encrypted backups work with both admin restore and standalone installer
• Wrong password = cannot restore — true security
• OpenSSL PHP extension nota-check at activation

Flexible Restore — Full or Partial

Restore your site from the WordPress admin panel with a few clicks, or use the standalone installer for full migrations. Choose exactly what to restore: the full site, only selected database tables, or specific files and folders.

• Admin panel restore: works without leaving WordPress
• Full restore: database + files in one operation
• Database Only: pick individual tables from a scrollable list
• Files Only: browse backup folder tree, select what to overwrite
• Confirmation input prevents accidental restores
• Standalone installer: migrate to new domain or host
• Automatic URL and path replacement in all database tables
• Serialized data handled correctly — no corrupted options

Emergency Recovery — Restore Without WordPress

When WordPress itself is broken — white screen, database error, failed update — the Emergency Recovery page lets you restore your site directly from the server without touching wp-admin.

• Standalone PHP page, works even when WordPress is completely down
• Password-protected: set a secure access key in Settings
• Full, Database Only and Files Only restore modes
• Automatically detects all local backups on the server
• Reads table list and file tree directly from the backup ZIP
• Supports encrypted backups — enter your password to unlock
• Full restore: extracts files first, then imports database — ensures wp-config.php is in place before DB connection
• Progress bar with live status updates for each phase

Copy Cloud Backups Back to Server

If your local backup file was deleted after a cloud upload, you can pull it back to your server directly from the admin panel — no manual downloading or FTP required.

• Works with all 5 cloud providers: Drive, S3, Wasabi, Dropbox, OneDrive
• Click the cloud badge on any cloud-only backup to start
• 8 MB chunked download with real-time progress bar
• File saved to the backup folder — restore or download normally after
• Does not restore the site — only copies the ZIP to the server
• Open file directly in cloud storage with the provided link

Scheduled Backups & Notifications

Set up automatic backups on your schedule and get notified by email when something goes wrong — or right.

• Daily, weekly or monthly automatic backups
• Choose backup type for scheduled runs (full/DB/files)
• Email notifications on success and/or failure
• Automatic cleanup: keep last N backups
• Backup history with error details for failed runs
• Stale backup detection: auto-recover from crashed jobs
