<p><strong>⚠️ WARNING</strong></p>
<p><strong>Database Backups for WordPress is no longer actively maintained.</strong></p>
<p>This software is still free to use under the license provided, but users should be aware that it is not currently maintained. No additional releases, including security releases, will be made available.</p>
<p>Backup your database instantly, send the backup via email, or schedule backups to run automatically.</p>
<p>Database Backup for WordPress allows you to quickly back up your core WordPress database tables, and either download the backup as a gzipped file, or send it via email to an address you choose.</p>
<p>By default, the plugin will always back up all the core WordPress database tables. However, you may also selectively back up any custom tables that might be created by other plugins.</p>
<p>Additional options include the ability to exclude spam comments from the comments table, or post revisions from the posts table, saving you space and bandwidth.</p>
<p>You can also enable scheduled backups to run automatically at set intervals, and configure the email address to send the scheduled backups to.</p>
<h4>Backup Before You Mess Up</h4>
<p>Backups are the one thing you don’t think of until you need them. You might have the best web host, the most secure server, and a tried and tested process for running plugin, theme, or core updates. But all it takes is one little thing to go wrong, and you lose your entire website.</p>
<p>You need a reliable and automated solution which backs up your WordPress data and sends it to an off-site location. Database Backup for WordPress is that solution.</p>
<h4>Why You Should Back Up Your Website</h4>
<p>As much planning as you do, any CMS like WordPress that stores its data in a database is vulnerable. Hardware, software, and security hiccups are rare, but they do happen. Even the best enterprise systems in the world have multiple levels of backup in place.</p>
<p>Think about the data you store in your WordPress site. Your blog posts since the day you launched the site. Your customers, products, and order history if you run an ecommerce site. Backups are like implementing an insurance policy for your data. With backups, you have a reliable way of restoring that data if anything goes wrong.</p>
<p>Simple, automated backups save you time and give you peace of mind that you are prepared for the worst case scenario, even if you never need it. Better to have it and not need it, than to not have it and suddenly need it.</p>
<h4>Scheduled Backups</h4>
<p>Depending on your needs, you might want to back up your database every few minutes, hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly. You’ll want to automate this process, or it becomes another possible point of failure.</p>
<p>Scheduled backups give you peace of mind that your data is being backed up as much or as little as you need, without your intervention. By emailing the backups to an email address you choose, you can verify that the backup has run, and store it in a safe location.</p>

Database Backup for WordPress

Very good plugin thanks, it does what it says.

Works great

This is an excellent database plugin. I have daily host-level backups, and once a month I take a full cPanel backup, but as a belt and braces approach I now have daily database backups being sent to an email address, and filtered to a backup folder. Hope I never need them, but if I do I will be relieved to see these archived.

Install, activate, setup and forget ... until needed

Database Backup for WordPress is your one-stop database backup solution for WordPress.

<p><strong>DB Backup by Fairshare.tech</strong> lets you create automated WordPress database backups on your preferred schedule. It uses <code>mysqldump</code> if available for fast and reliable backups, and falls back to a PHP-based method if <code>mysqldump</code> is unavailable.</p>
<p>Backups are stored securely in your <code>wp-content/uploads/db_backup/</code> directory, and you can choose to have them emailed to your admin email address. The plugin provides a settings page for configuration and supports triggering backups via a real cron job for reliability.</p>
<h3><strong>Features</strong></h3>
<ol>
<li>Flexible backup frequency: Daily, Weekly, or Monthly.</li>
<li>Backups saved in <code>wp-content/uploads/db_backup/</code> with timestamped filenames.</li>
<li>Option to email backups to the admin email address.</li>
<li>Uses <code>mysqldump</code> if available, with PHP fallback.</li>
<li>No dependency on WP-Cron—supports real cron jobs via a secure endpoint.</li>
