DailyBkup
DailyBkup is a lightweight WordPress backup plugin that automatically backs up your entire site — files and database — and uploads the archive to Dropbox.
No complicated setup. No third-party backup services. Just configure once and your site is protected every day.
Why DailyBkup?
Most backup plugins are bloated, slow, or charge a monthly fee just to store your backups. DailyBkup is different:
- Your storage, your files — backups go straight to your own Dropbox account
- Files + database — both packaged into a single ZIP archive per run
- Schedule it once — configure a daily server cron and forget about it
- Restore anytime — download or restore directly from the plugin dashboard
- Activity logs — every backup run is logged so you know exactly what happened
Features
- ✅ Scheduled daily WordPress backups via server cron
- ✅ Full site backup — WordPress files, themes, plugins, and uploads
- ✅ Database backup — complete SQL snapshot included
- ✅ Dropbox cloud storage — uploads directly to your Dropbox folder
- ✅ One-click on-demand backup — run a backup any time from the dashboard
- ✅ Restore from backup — restore files and database from any stored backup
- ✅ Retention & cleanup — automatically keep only the last N backups
- ✅ Activity log — full history of backup and restore jobs
- ✅ Backup scope control — backup files only, database only, or both
- ✅ Runtime strategy — tune compression for shared hosting or VPS
How It Works
- Connect your Dropbox account using your own App Key and App Secret
- Set a backup folder path in Dropbox (e.g.
/dailybkup) - Configure the provided cron command in your hosting control panel (cPanel, Plesk, etc.)
- DailyBkup runs automatically every day, uploads the backup archive to Dropbox, and logs the result
