Description

Lazy Backup is a lazy WordPress plugin for database and file management. It allows you to view database info, back up your database with one click, and read files directly from the admin dashboard.

How it works

Lazy Backup simplifies database and file management for WordPress administrators. Here’s a breakdown of its core functionality:

Database Information Overview

  • The plugin retrieves and displays essential database metrics, such as database size, table count, MySQL version, and more.
  • All data is presented in a clean, horizontal table layout for easy readability.

Database Backup

  • With a single click on the “Download DB” button, the plugin generates a SQL dump of your entire database.
  • The dump file is downloaded directly to your device, ensuring you always have a backup on hand.

File Manager

  • The built-in File Manager allows you to browse your WordPress files and directories directly from the admin dashboard.
  • You can view file contents with syntax highlighting for code files.

Database Tables List

  • The plugin lists all database tables in an interactive, searchable table.
  • Key details like row count, data size, index size, engine, and collation are displayed for each table.

Development

The unminified JavaScript and CSS source code used in this plugin is included in the /assets directory.
Build tools (like Webpack/Vite/etc.) are not required to use the plugin, but developers may refer to the uncompressed versions for reference or contribution.
