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>

</ul>

Most WordPress backup tools either feel too fragile when you actually need them, or too bloated with upsells and clutter. WXD Backup Lite is built around a narrower goal: reliable backups, safer restores, and cleaner migrations for real-world WordPress sites.
The focus is on recovery confidence and predictable workflows — not features for their own sake.
Full-site backups. Guided restores. Clean migrations.
WXD Backup Lite can create full-site or selective backups, schedule recurring jobs, enforce retention rules, lock important backups from deletion, and guide restores through a structured flow — including an automatic restore point created before every recovery attempt.
WooCommerce-friendly: Because WooCommerce stores everything in the WordPress database and filesystem, full-site backups automatically capture orders, products, customers, and store configuration. No extra setup required.
What’s included:
<ul>
<li>Full-site backup — database, plugins, themes, uploads, MU-plugins, and core files</li>
<li>Selective backup scope for targeted jobs</li>
<li>Portable .zip backup archives</li>
<li>Daily, weekly, or manual backup scheduling</li>
<li>Configurable retention with automatic cleanup of the oldest backups</li>
<li>Backup locking to protect important archives from auto-deletion</li>
<li>Guided one-click restore with scope selection, confirmation, and real-time progress</li>
<li>Automatic restore point created before every restore</li>
<li>Real-time restore event log and progress tracking</li>
<li>Post-restore validation flow</li>
<li>Site migration workflow with URL rewriting</li>
<li>wp-config.php normalization after migration</li>
<li>Import from an uploaded backup archive</li>
<li>Dashboard with backup stats, storage forecast, and server health check</li>
<li>Activity log with export support</li>
<li>Concurrent restore lock and restore-safety protections</li>
<li>Nonce and capability protection on all AJAX actions</li>
</ul>
Note: This plugin does not support WordPress Multisite. It is designed for single-site installs only.
Privacy: No data leaves your server. WXD Backup Lite makes no external API calls, does not phone home, and requires no account or license key. Backup archives are stored locally in the <code>wsbl-backups</code> subfolder of your WordPress uploads directory.
