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.

It just does what is says. Quite light and easy to work with.
Thank you.



Nice plugin

Allows you to create simple backups on a dedicated page nested in the "Tools" Menu.

WARNING: This plugin is for advanced users. If used incorrectly it could wipe out all your content!
Keeping databases in sync between development, staging and live servers can be a pain. This plugin lets you 
link together several WordPress installations by sharing a secret token. Once linked, administrators can pull 
or push the entire database between servers with just a click.
Currently syncs database only, not uploaded files.
<h4>Backups</h4>
The plugin will attempt to make local backups of the database before overwriting. These are stored as gzipped SQL 
files in wp-content/plugins/database-sync/backups/dbYYYYMMDD.HHMMSS.sql.gz The backups directory should be made 
writable, and you should keep an eye on it if you sync often as it will grow in size.
<h4>Usage</h4>
See Installation instructions.

Database Sync

Is this wizardry?  This plugin works so seemlessly it's amazing!  I love that it pulls the ACF stuff as well which is a huge time saver.  Another issue is the media uploads which this helps with as well.  Simply sync up the two databases and then ftp your uploads and both db's are in perfect lockstep!



WOW!

Sync databases across servers with a single click.
