Description

Web Plura Backup & Restore Manager is a free local backup and restore manager for WordPress. It supports manual local backups, local restore review, resumable job processing, explicit restore confirmation, job history, local backup storage visibility, and disaster recovery readiness notes.

Free Local Mode is the default and works without any cloud connection.

Free Local Mode keeps one retained local backup slot per backup type: full-site, database-only, and files-only. Each new backup of the same type replaces the previous slot only after explicit confirmation. Local backups are stored as protected plugin-native .wpbrpkg artifacts with .wpbridx metadata, and restore requires Web Plura Backup & Restore Manager rather than generic unzip/import steps.

Jobs page can resume failed Free Local Mode jobs from their last saved checkpoint. Cloud-managed failed jobs remain governed by cloud workflow authority.

The free WordPress.org plugin is local-only and gives site owners deliberate local backup and restore workflows with checkpoints and job history. Cloud operations, account validation, hosted package downloads, and advanced disaster recovery support belong to separate hosted Web Plura services.

FAQ

Does this plugin require Web Plura Security Center?: No. This plugin is standalone and uses only its own web_plura_brd_ options, tables, actions, assets, and REST namespace.
Are local backups offsite disaster recovery?: No. Local backups are stored on the same WordPress site. Keep separate hosting, server-level, or offsite backups for stronger disaster recovery.
Can restore actions run without confirmation?: No. Restore workflows require explicit confirmation.
Can failed local jobs be resumed?: Yes. Failed Free Local Mode jobs can be resumed from the Jobs page. The plugin requeues the existing local job so the runner continues from saved checkpoint state. Cloud-managed failed jobs remain governed by cloud workflow authority.

Changelog

0.2.24

Removed the retired Free connect-cloud admin alias so Cloud connection is only handled by the shared Web Plura Cloud plugin.

0.2.23

Added a dedicated Jobs-page resume action for failed Free Local Mode jobs so existing checkpoint state is requeued instead of creating a replacement job.

0.2.22

Added a Free-owned backup job retry policy helper so Free and Pro processors share retry timing, retryable error, and customer action mapping.

0.2.21

Added a Free-owned processor dispatcher so Free and Pro share active-job routing and snapshot runner entry points.

0.2.20

Added Free-owned backup job repository extension hooks so Pro can reuse the canonical job table CRUD contract with Pro-specific table overrides.

Added a Free-owned backup job storage key helper so Free and Pro processors share package object prefix handling.

0.2.18

Added a Free-owned job log context sanitizer so Free and Pro backup processors share the same telemetry redaction contract.
