Scheduling & Automation

Google Drive Integration: Upload backups to Google Drive for off-site storage.
Per-Provider Retention: Configure separate retention policies (count, days, or both) for Local and Google Drive independently.
Encrypted Credentials: Google Drive OAuth tokens and client secrets are encrypted at rest using AES-256-CBC; legacy plaintext values are auto-migrated on first save.
File Exclusions: Exclude cache, staging, and other unnecessary directories.
Smart Sizing: Calculate database and file sizes before backup.
Performance & Control
Aggressiveness Levels: Choose Low, Medium, or High processing intensity.
Chunked Processing: Break large operations into manageable chunks.
Timeout Prevention: Avoid server timeout issues with smart processing.
Background Processing: WP-CLI mode runs backups in the background.
Step Time Limits: Each backup step adjusts PHP time limit based on aggressiveness level to prevent mid-step timeouts.
Developer Features

Extensible Storage: Interface-based storage provider system with filters for add-ons.
Action & Filter Hooks: Rich set of hooks for add-ons to register storage providers, inject UI, and react to backup events.

Icons Registry: Icons class provides a filterable map of storage provider icon markup for consistent UI across add-ons.
Important Disclaimer
This plugin creates backups of your WordPress installation. While we strive to maintain reliability and stability:
Backup performance depends on your server configuration, hosting environment, and site size
Large sites may require longer backup times depending on the aggressiveness setting
We strongly recommend testing the plugin on a staging environment first
Always verify that backups are created successfully before relying on them
Maintain regular backups and store them in multiple locations
Server Compatibility Notice
Different server configurations may affect the plugin’s functionality:
WP-CLI (optional): Faster backups for HTTP-initiated runs require WP-CLI plus the shell_exec function. Driving WP-CLI from system cron requires only SSH access.
PHP Backup Runner: Works on every server, no shell access required. May take longer for very large sites.
Shared Hosting: May have restrictions on execution time and memory
Storage Space: Ensure adequate disk space for backup files
.htaccess: Some features may require Apache or compatible web servers
File Permissions: Proper permissions required for backup file creation
If you experience any issues, please check with your hosting provider about server limitations.
External services
This plugin connects to Google Drive (an external service) only when you explicitly enable and configure Google Drive as a storage provider in the plugin settings. No data is sent externally for core backup functionality (local backups).
Google Drive API
What the service is: Google’s cloud storage API, used to upload backup archives to your own Google Drive account.
What it is used for: Off-site storage and retrieval of your backup .zip / .sql files, plus listing and deleting previously uploaded backups for retention cleanup.
What data is sent:
The backup archive file contents, uploaded to a folder named “BackupEase” created by this plugin in your own Drive.
The OAuth client ID and client secret you supply in Settings, used solely to exchange the authorization code for access / refresh tokens.
Minimal metadata required by the Drive API (file name, MIME type, parent folder ID).
When it is sent:
During the one-time OAuth connection flow when you click “Connect to Google Drive”.
Each time a backup completes and Google Drive is selected as a target.
When you run retention cleanup or retry a failed upload.
Account requirement: You must create your own Google Cloud project and provide your own Client ID / Client Secret. The plugin does not share a Google application with other users.
