On a page within the “Tools” Submenu, you’ll find a simple form which lets you choose the ingredients of a current Backup:
<ul>
<li>Uploads (either by scanning your Upload Directory, or by fetching Attachments from your Database)</li>
<li>Active Theme (and its parent theme, if used)</li>
<li>SQL-Dump containing the Mysql Database</li>
<li>A list of active Plugins</li>
</ul>
Backups will be stored within a folder in wp-content and be downloadable from the Backend. Once the downloads are finished, the backup files on the Server can be flushed.
What’s good:
<ul>
<li>Simple: Choose what is included in your Backup and download the resulting ZIP Archive from your Backend</li>
<li>Unobtrusive: It’s nested within the “Tools” submenu and comes without any bling bling, following default WP Backend Styles</li>
<li>Lightweight: 28KB zipped, 72KB unzipped</li>
</ul>
The plugin author does not take any responsibility for the safety of your data or the integrity of the generated backups.
