Pick up where
you left off.
Private checkpoints split database export, archive creation, and transfers into smaller worker requests. Interrupted work can continue without starting the whole job again.

02 / INTEGRITY
Check the copy.
Byte by byte.
Read-back verification compares every uploaded chunk with the local archive using SHA-256, before a job is marked successful or older copies are pruned.
03 / VISIBILITY
Know what ran.
Know what didn’t.
See the active stage, next run, last success, and recent results. Configure failure emails and overdue-backup reminders instead of guessing from a schedule.
04 / CONTROL
Your destination.
Your retained copies.
Choose daily or weekly backups and keep 1–100 copies. Retention targets only this installation’s new-format archives—not unrelated files or legacy backups.
THE DESTINATION IS YOUR CALL
Not another
storage silo.
Use your own account, bucket, or server. BackupBank Pro supports SFTP, cloud destinations, and private downloads in one plugin.

[03] / FROM SETUP TO A COPY
Give it a destination.
Keep an eye on the result.
- 01
Connect your storage.
Save your destination and credentials. Run the connection test before enabling your backup schedule.
- 02
Set your rhythm.
Choose daily or weekly runs, retained copies, and alerts. Use a regular system cron trigger for reliable scheduling.
- 03
Check. Then restore-test.
Review the verified result in history. Restore a copy into a separate staging site before relying on your backup plan.
A verified transfer is not a verified restore. BackupBank creates archives; it does not automatically restore them. Pause database and filesystem writes for a consistent backup, and test recovery separately.
[04] / GOOD QUESTIONS
The useful
fine print.
No magic claims.
Know what you’re running.
What’s inside a backup?
A ZIP64 archive containing database.sql and files/ for the WordPress home-directory tree. Symlinks, cache directories, Git directories, and recognized legacy BackupBank artifacts are excluded. Files outside that tree, stored database routines, and scheduled database events are not included.
Can I restore with one click?
No. BackupBank does not provide automatic restoration. Extract the archive, restore the SQL and files into an isolated WordPress installation, and verify login, content, media, plugins, and themes. Practice that process before you need it.
How does verification work?
BackupBank reads every uploaded byte back and compares SHA-256 for each 1 MiB chunk with the local archive before success and retention. History records a labeled SHA-256 digest chain, not a standard whole-file checksum. The bundled verification tool can check a downloaded copy. Read-back uses additional provider requests and bandwidth; it does not guarantee the destination stays unchanged later.
What should I know about larger sites?
Jobs resume from private checkpoints, but host limits still apply. ZIP64 archives are uncompressed, so allow disk space for the site archive and SQL dump, plus full read-back bandwidth. A single large database row or slow operation can exceed a worker’s time budget. Current S3 multipart uploads support approximately 78 GiB per archive. Test your own host and provider.
Are my archives encrypted?
Saved credentials use authenticated, site-specific encryption. The backup archives themselves are not encrypted at rest by the plugin. Restrict access to private workspaces and destination storage, enable appropriate provider-side protections, and configure the optional SFTP host-key fingerprint to verify server identity.
Can I back up a site while it’s changing?
Pause both database and filesystem writes for a consistent backup. A database export spread across requests is not a single transaction snapshot. If writes cannot pause, use a database-native snapshot or replica strategy rather than assuming the export is application-consistent.
Will an email tell me if the whole site is down?
No. Failure and overdue alerts require working WordPress, cron, the database, and mail delivery. They cannot alert you when that entire stack is offline. Use independent uptime and backup monitoring, and test actual email delivery.
Is a private download an off-site backup?
Not by itself. Pro’s admin-only local downloads expire after 24 hours, or sooner if retention removes them. Download and store a copy independently; do not use local-only files as your disaster-recovery destination. Use one worker host with persistent private storage. Multisite network activation and independent multi-host workers are not validated.
