UpdraftPlus

UpdraftPlus can create and restore backups.

It can work on command or via scheduled tasks.

Installation:

Unpack and upload it to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.

What is new in this release:

• SECURITY:
• Prevent nonce leak that could allow logged-in users who aren't admins (if you have any) to access backups, UpdraftPlus settings and perform other harmful actions.

What is new in version 1.9.60:

• SECURITY:
• Prevent nonce leak that could allow logged-in users who aren't admins (if you have any) to access backups, UpdraftPlus settings and perform other harmful actions.

What is new in version 1.9.40:

• The full log file viewer is now real-time - it updates as the backup progresses
• When downloading from remote storage via the settings page, stalled downloads are now automatically restarted (relevant for large backups with low web-server PHP time-outs)

What is new in version 1.9.25:

• NEW FEATURE:
• The search/replace expert tool can now work on selected tables only
• PERFORMANCE:
• Use PageVisibility API to be more intelligent about when we need to poll for progress in the dashboard
• FIXED:
• The Migrator add-on would fetch more database rows than it should, increasing the (low) risk of hitting memory limits, and increasing the time needed on enormous sites
• Some Google Drive backups could get uploaded twice, if you were using multiple storage backends
• If user set the option to not verify SSL certificates, then this option was not honoured for all methods
• If user had never saved their settings (and hence using no cloud backup), then old backup sets were not pruned
• TWEAKS:
• Inform the user of possible plugin compatibility issues if they are about to restore a site onto a webserver running a PHP major version older than the original backup.
• Detect database disconnection when search/replacing, and reconnect if possible; and to try less rows in case it was a memory limit
• Allow wildcards at either end in exclusion items (e.g. backups)
• Add option to control how many rows are search/replaced at once

What is new in version 1.9.19:

• FEATURE:
• Omit any directory from the backup (recursively) by creating a file called .donotbackup within it
• PERFORMANCE:
• Lazy-load more code
• Prevent no-op search/replacements when restoring
• FIXED:
• A corner-case where a backup might be able to continue but no attempt was made after using PclZip
• A corner-case (race condition) where UD might try to upload the same archive twice
• Detection of pre-WP 3.5 hard-coded uploads paths upon site clone had stopped working
• Bug in Importer add-on which could halt restorations of 3rd-party backups from the BackupWordPress plugin

What is new in version 1.9.17:

• FIXES:
• Fix bug in Importer add-on that prevented some potential warnings about the integrity of the 3rd party backup zip being displayed
• Some errors upon S3 downloads were not being passed back up to the settings page for display
• Update "Rackspace Enhanced" add-on for compatibility with current Rackspace API
• TWEAKS:
• Prevent spurious messages about quota for users who have upgraded their Bitcasa account to infinite storage
• Prevent some unnecessary duplication of work when resuming a database backup (since 1.9.13)

What is new in version 1.9.4:

• FEATURE:
• New remote storage back-end for OpenStack Swift
• New remote storage back-end for Bitcasa
• New Google Drive back-end now uses new SDK; resulting new capabilities include ability to rescan remote storage, and chunked downloading for huge files; also requires a shorter list of permissions
• Restore backups that were created by the plugin BackWPup
• FIXED:
• WebDAV storage: remove requirement for PEAR to be pre-installed on server
• Restoration on sites where WP did not have direct filesystem access
• regex which prevented download progress of mu-plugins zip displaying correctly
• Issue preventing some useful information about URL changes being included in the migration log file

What is new in version 0.8.51:

• Moved screenshot into assets, reducing plugin download size.

Requirements:

• WordPress 3.2 or higher
