Holographic

Holographic Site Backup helps WordPress administrators create encrypted backup and export packages from inside the WordPress dashboard. It is designed for practical site recovery, site movement and scheduled backup routines without requiring command-line tools.
The plugin includes separate admin areas for Dashboard, Backup Site, Restore Site, Export Site, Scheduled Backups, Settings and Help. The dashboard gives administrators a quick site summary, direct links to the main tools and key environment details such as WordPress version, PHP version, database size, upload size, disk space, memory limit, execution time, ZIP support and ZIP encryption support.
Backup jobs can include the database, plugins, themes, uploads and other supported WordPress content areas. Export jobs create portable site packages for moving or cloning a WordPress site. Restore jobs can upload or use an existing package, validate the package marker and manifest, and then restore the site from the protected package workflow.
Large restore uploads are split into protected browser chunks and reassembled inside protected plugin storage before validation. This helps administrators handle larger packages without manually splitting files before upload.
Backup, export and scheduled backup packages are stored in protected plugin storage. Downloads and deletions require administrator capability checks and WordPress nonces. Newly created backup, export and scheduled backup packages are encrypted when ZIP AES encryption support is available. Package filenames are randomised, and package passwords are shown only inside the authenticated package records table.
Scheduled backup emails confirm job completion without including package passwords. Administrators retrieve package passwords from the authenticated HoloBackup package records table inside WordPress.
Main features include:
<ul>
<li>Encrypted backup package creation when ZIP AES support is available.</li>
<li>Restore package upload, validation and restore workflow.</li>
<li>Portable export packages for site moves and cloning workflows.</li>
<li>Scheduled encrypted backups with admin email reminders.</li>
<li>Protected package records for backup and export files.</li>
<li>Browser-based chunked restore uploads for larger packages.</li>
<li>Setup checks for storage, ZIP support, encryption support, disk space and server limits.</li>
<li>Dashboard site summary for backup planning and troubleshooting.</li>
<li>Help guidance for backup, restore, export and common hosting issues.</li>
</ul>
