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>

Trinity Backup is a powerful, fast, and reliable WordPress backup, migration, and restore plugin. It is built to work smoothly on any hosting — including shared hosting with strict PHP limits, timeouts, and low memory.
Whether you need to create a full site backup, migrate WordPress to a new domain, clone a staging site to production, or schedule automatic daily backups — Trinity Backup handles it all without breaking a sweat.
<h3>Why Choose Trinity Backup?</h3>
Most backup plugins fail on large sites because of PHP timeouts, memory limits, and upload restrictions. Trinity Backup solves all of that:
<ul>
<li>Zero timeouts — Processes everything in safe, resumable AJAX chunks. Even if the browser is closed, you can continue where you left off.</li>
<li>Ultra-low memory usage — Uses streaming archive technology instead of loading files into RAM. Works on hosts with 64 MB memory limits.</li>
<li>Any site size — Designed for sites with thousands of posts, large media libraries, and massive databases.</li>
<li>Resumable operations — Automatically resumes after interruptions, browser refreshes, or temporary server issues.</li>
<li>Single-file archives — Each backup is one <code>.trinity</code> file that contains your entire site: database, plugins, themes, uploads, and all wp-content.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Full Site Backup & Export</h3>
Create a complete backup of your WordPress site with one click. The exported <code>.trinity</code> archive contains everything needed to fully restore or migrate your site:
<ul>
<li>Database export — All tables including posts, pages, users, options, WooCommerce orders, custom post types, and any custom tables.</li>
<li>Files export — All files in wp-content: plugins, themes, uploads, mu-plugins, and custom directories.</li>
<li>Selective backup — Choose exactly what to include or exclude: media uploads, plugins, themes, database, spam comments.</li>
<li>Auto-download — Automatically downloads the backup file to your computer after creation.</li>
<li>Real-time progress — Visual progress bar and detailed log showing every step of the backup process.</li>
</ul>
<h3>One-Click Migration & Restore</h3>
Move your WordPress site to a new host, new domain, or new server with zero hassle:
<ul>
<li>Automatic URL replacement — Intelligently replaces all old URLs with new ones across the entire database, including serialized data in options, widgets, and page builders.</li>
<li>Serialized data safe — Properly handles serialized PHP data (used by most themes and plugins) so nothing breaks after migration.</li>
<li>Drag & drop import — Simply drag your <code>.trinity</code> file into the import area or click to browse. No FTP, no phpMyAdmin, no command line needed.</li>
<li>Cross-host compatible — Works across any hosting provider: cPanel, Plesk, LocalWP, Flywheel, SiteGround, Bluehost, GoDaddy, Cloudways, AWS, and more.</li>
<li>Local ↔ Live — Perfect for moving sites between local development environments (LocalWP, MAMP, XAMPP, Laragon) and live servers.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Backup Management Dashboard</h3>
A clean, modern dashboard to manage all your backups:
<ul>
<li>Backup list — View all existing backups with filename, size, creation date, and who created them.</li>
<li>Bulk actions — Delete individual backups, delete all backups at once, or clean up incomplete temporary files.</li>
<li>Refresh — Instantly refresh the backup list without reloading the page.</li>
<li>Responsive design — Clean, card-based layout that works great on any screen size.</li>
</ul>

</ul>
<h3>AES-256-GCM Encryption (Pro)</h3>
Protect your backups with military-grade encryption:
<ul>
<li>AES-256-GCM — The same encryption standard used by banks. Your backup data is fully encrypted at rest.</li>
<li>Password protection — Set a password when creating a backup. The same password is required for import.</li>
<li>Secure key derivation — Uses proper cryptographic key derivation to turn your password into an encryption key.</li>
<li>Streaming encryption — Files are encrypted in chunks during backup, keeping memory usage low even for encrypted backups.</li>
</ul>

Trinity Backup – Backup, Migrate, Restore, Clone & Schedule Backups


I've been running Trinity Backup on several of my sites for a few weeks now and I'm genuinely impressed. Backups are created reliably and the whole process is completely transparent — you just set it up and forget about it. Had one question for the support team and they got back to me quickly with a clear and helpful answer. Really satisfied with both the plugin itself and the level of support behind it.
