Platka Digital Backup and Migration

Platka Digital Backup and Migration backs up your whole WordPress site into a single ZIP file and restores it again — on the same site or on a different one, straight from a URL.

Back up

• Choose exactly what goes in: Database, Plugins, Themes, Uploads, and Others (WordPress core files, wp-config.php and anything else in wp-content).
• Run a backup with one click from Platka Digital Backup → Dashboard, or schedule it to run daily, weekly or monthly.
• Backups are built in short steps, so they keep working on shared hosting with tight time and memory limits. Keep the tab open while a manual backup is running.
• Old backups are removed automatically once you pass the number you chose to keep (5 by default).
• Optional email when a scheduled backup completes, and when one fails.

Restore and migrate

• Restore any backup you made on this site, picking which parts to restore.
• Or paste the HTTPS link of a backup ZIP under Restore from URL to import it onto this site — the way to move a site to a new host or domain.
• A full safety backup of the current site is taken before anything is overwritten.
• If the backup came from a different address, every URL in the database is rewritten to match this site, and a different table prefix is handled for you.

Built with safety in mind

• Backups are stored in wp-content/platka-digital-backup/, outside the uploads folder, with an .htaccess rule that blocks direct downloads on Apache.
• The dashboard checks whether that folder is reachable from the web and warns you if it is. On Nginx, add the rule from the bundled nginx-protection.conf.txt.
• Only administrators (users who can manage_options) can create, download, delete or restore backups.
• An Activity Log records every backup and restore.

Requirements

PHP 7.4 or newer with the ZipArchive (zip) extension. The dashboard tells you if something is missing.
