dailyBkup

DailyBkup is a lightweight WordPress backup plugin that automatically backs up your entire site — files and database — and uploads the archive to Dropbox.
No complicated setup. No third-party backup services. Just configure once and your site is protected every day.
<h4>Why DailyBkup?</h4>
Most backup plugins are bloated, slow, or charge a monthly fee just to store your backups. DailyBkup is different:
<ul>
<li>Your storage, your files — backups go straight to your own Dropbox account</li>
<li>Files + database — both packaged into a single ZIP archive per run</li>
<li>Schedule it once — configure a daily server cron and forget about it</li>
<li>Restore anytime — download or restore directly from the plugin dashboard</li>
<li>Activity logs — every backup run is logged so you know exactly what happened</li>
</ul>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>✅ Scheduled daily WordPress backups via server cron</li>
<li>✅ Full site backup — WordPress files, themes, plugins, and uploads</li>
<li>✅ Database backup — complete SQL snapshot included</li>
<li>✅ Dropbox cloud storage — uploads directly to your Dropbox folder</li>
<li>✅ One-click on-demand backup — run a backup any time from the dashboard</li>
<li>✅ Restore from backup — restore files and database from any stored backup</li>
<li>✅ Retention & cleanup — automatically keep only the last N backups</li>
<li>✅ Activity log — full history of backup and restore jobs</li>
<li>✅ Backup scope control — backup files only, database only, or both</li>
<li>✅ Runtime strategy — tune compression for shared hosting or VPS</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Connect your Dropbox account using your own App Key and App Secret</li>
<li>Set a backup folder path in Dropbox (e.g. <code>/dailybkup</code>)</li>
<li>Configure the provided cron command in your hosting control panel (cPanel, Plesk, etc.)</li>
<li>DailyBkup runs automatically every day, uploads the backup archive to Dropbox, and logs the result</li>
</ol>
<h4>On-Demand Backup & Restore</h4>
You don’t have to wait for the scheduled run. Go to DailyBkup → On-Demand to:
<ul>
<li>Run a full backup right now</li>
<li>Browse backup files stored in Dropbox</li>
<li>Restore your site files, database, or both from any backup</li>
</ul>
<h4>Who Is This For?</h4>
<ul>
<li>WordPress site owners who want simple, reliable daily backups</li>
<li>Developers managing client sites who need hands-off automated backups</li>
<li>Anyone who has lost a site before and never wants it to happen again</li>
</ul>
<h4>Pro Version</h4>
The free version includes Dropbox storage and daily backups. The DailyBkup Pro version adds:
<ul>
<li>AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, Google Drive, Azure Blob, SFTP, DigitalOcean Spaces</li>
<li>Multi-cloud backup — send each backup to multiple providers simultaneously</li>
<li>Hourly and weekly backup schedules</li>
<li>Site migration tools</li>

<li>File backup — wp-content, uploads, plugins, themes, or full WordPress root</li>
<li>Real-time progress — live progress bar via AJAX polling during backup/restore</li>
<li>Chunked restore — database is restored in small chunks to avoid server timeouts, even on shared hosting</li>
<li>Scheduled backups — hourly, every 6h, every 12h, daily, weekly, or monthly</li>
<li>Import & restore — upload an external .zip or .sql backup file and restore it</li>
<li>Activity log — step-by-step log of every operation stored in a file and accessible from the dashboard</li>
<li>Email notifications — get notified on backup success or failure</li>
<li>Auto-cleanup — delete old backups by age or maximum count</li>
<li>Exclude paths — exclude specific directories from file backups</li>
</ul>
Why Norvis Backup?
Unlike other backup plugins, Norvis Backup writes the database dump row-by-row using <code>fopen()</code> + <code>fwrite()</code>, which means it never loads the entire database into PHP memory. This makes it work reliably even on shared hosting with low memory limits (64–128 MB).
The restore process uses a chunked approach — each AJAX call processes about 18 seconds of work, saves its position, and the browser automatically calls the next chunk. This prevents timeouts on shared hosting that limits PHP execution to 30-60 seconds per request.
