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.
