Site Backup – WordPress Backup Plugin with a Standalone Restorer
Security and backup
Backups in small, resumable steps, with a size report and a standalone restorer.
Backs up the database and files into one standard ZIP in steps that are safe on a live site, and shows first what takes the space.
Free
- Site size report before you choose
- Full, Content + compact media, or Structure backups
- Optional miniatures (max. 640 px) for a small rebuild copy
- A standalone restorer that checks the archive, restores files and database and moves the site to a new address
- Standard ZIP that opens with any unzip tool
Free in full: Clearyvo Pro adds nothing to this checker.
Good to Know
- Compact and Structure backups are rebuild copies, not disaster recovery. Keep a complete server-level backup too.
Where to Get It
Available two ways: as the separate plugin Site Backup, or as a module of the Site Toolkit plugin. They share settings and results.
WordPress 6.2, PHP 7.4 (64-bit). English interface.
How to Back Up a WordPress Site Safely
- Install the free Clearyvo Site Backup plugin (WordPress.org or the Download page), or Site Toolkit and switch on Site Backup under Site Toolkit → Modules.
- Open Site Backup in the WordPress admin (under Site Toolkit when you use more than one checker) and run the check. It works in short steps, so it finishes on shared hosting and large sites too.
- Read the report. Nothing on the site changes until you tick an item and confirm.
