Webangon Site Backup

Webangon Site Backup gives site owners a straightforward way to create a file backup before WordPress updates, theme changes, plugin changes, or migration work. It adds a single page (Tools -> Webangon Site Backup) with one button. Clicking it zips the source directory (wp-content/uploads by default) into a .zip stored in the existing uploads directory. A read-only list shows the archives created.

Uses the PHP Zip extension when available, otherwise the pure-PHP PclZip bundled with WordPress (needs only zlib).

Filters

• webangon_site_backup_capability – capability required (default manage_options).
• webangon_site_backup_source_dir – absolute path of the directory to zip (default: uploads).
• webangon_site_backup_backups_dir – where to store the .zip files.

Notes

• The zip is built in a single request. On very large sites this can be slow or hit max_execution_time – keep the source directory reasonable, or point webangon_site_backup_source_dir at a smaller folder.
• When a separate backups directory is configured, that directory is excluded from the archive so it is never zipped into itself.
