<p><strong>Nota Backup & Restore</strong> creates complete WordPress backups (all files + database) in a single ZIP file. Designed for reliability on shared hosting — chunked processing ensures backups never fail due to PHP timeouts or memory limits.</p>
<h4>Free Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>One-click full backup</strong> — all WordPress files + database in a single ZIP</li>
<li><strong>Selective backup</strong> — database only or files only</li>
<li><strong>Chunked ZIP creation</strong> — never times out, even on large sites</li>
<li><strong>Configurable chunk settings</strong> — files per chunk and MB per chunk</li>
<li><strong>AES-256 encryption</strong> for database backups</li>
<li><strong>Custom exclusion rules</strong> — skip any folder or file path</li>
<li><strong>Backup history</strong> with status, size, duration and error details</li>
<li><strong>Estimated backup size</strong> before you start</li>
<li><strong>Dashboard widget</strong> showing last backup status</li>
<li><strong>Standalone installer</strong> — migrate to a new domain without WordPress</li>
</ul>
<h4>Premium Features (Pro Version)</h4>
<p>The following features require the <a href="https://www.wp-nota.com/pricing/" rel="nofollow ugc">Pro version</a>:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Cloud Storage</strong> — Google Drive, Amazon S3, Wasabi, Dropbox, Microsoft OneDrive, FTP/SFTP</li>
<li><strong>Automatic scheduled backups</strong> — daily, weekly, monthly</li>
<li><strong>Admin panel restore</strong> — one-click restore directly in WordPress</li>
<li><strong>Emergency Recovery</strong> — standalone restore page that works even when WordPress is broken</li>
<li><strong>Email notifications</strong> — success and failure alerts</li>
<li><strong>Staging environment</strong> — create a staging site, test changes, push to live</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Go to <strong>Nota Backup</strong> in the WordPress admin sidebar</li>
<li>Click <strong>Start Backup</strong></li>
<li>The plugin creates a ZIP file of all your files and database</li>
<li>Download the ZIP from the backup list</li>
</ol>
<h4>Standalone Installer</h4>
<p>The installer is a standalone migration tool that runs without WordPress. It is downloaded separately from the admin panel — it is not bundled inside the backup ZIP:</p>
<ol>
<li>Download the backup ZIP and the Installer PHP file from the backup list</li>
<li>Upload both files to the new server’s web root</li>
<li>Open <code>https://newdomain.com/installer_{backup_name}.php</code></li>
<li>The installer extracts the ZIP, then prompts for new database credentials and new site URL</li>
<li>Follow the step-by-step wizard — URLs and paths are replaced throughout the database</li>
</ol>
<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin does <strong>not</strong> connect to any external APIs or services. No data is transmitted to any third party. All backup processing (ZIP creation, database export, encryption) runs entirely on your own server.</p>
<p>The plugin displays a link to <code>https://www.wp-nota.com/pricing/</code> in the admin UI. This is a plain HTML hyperlink — clicking it opens the page in a new browser tab. No data of any kind is sent to this URL by the plugin.</p>
<p>Because no external service is used, no Terms of Use or Privacy Policy link is applicable to this plugin.</p>
<p>Note: The Pro version (distributed separately, not hosted on WordPress.org) connects to third-party cloud storage services (Google Drive, Amazon S3, Wasabi, Dropbox, Microsoft OneDrive, FTP/SFTP). That code is not present in this plugin.</p>
