Complete WordPress backup, restore, and migration in one plugin. Full-site backups (database, plugins, themes, uploads) run reliably on shared hosting via async chunked processing. One-click restore gets you back online in minutes, migration packages ship with a standalone installer and automatic URL remap, and version 1.5.11 adds WP-CLI support so backups fit into your deploy scripts and cron jobs. No account, no cloud upload, no file size caps.

Full Site Backups

Create complete backups of your entire WordPress site including database, files, plugins, themes, and uploads with a single click.

Database Backups

Back up just your WordPress database for quick snapshots before updates, migrations, or major changes to your site.

File-Only Backups

Create backups of just your files - perfect for preserving themes, plugins, and media without the database overhead.

Scheduled Backups

Set up daily, weekly, or monthly automatic backups that run in the background, with per-schedule retention pruning built in.

Easy Migration

Move your WordPress site to a new host or domain with our built-in migration tool. Handles URL replacement automatically.

Download Backups

Download your backups directly to your computer for safekeeping. Store them anywhere you want for extra peace of mind.

One-Click Restore

Restore your site from any backup with a single click. Get back online quickly when something goes wrong.

Command Line

Drive Backups From the Terminal

Full WP-CLI support in 1.5.11. Backup, restore, list, verify, and delete without touching wp-admin — perfect for agencies managing many client sites, unattended cron backups on hosts that disable WordPress cron, and pre-deploy snapshots.

Available commands
$ wp sitevault backup [--type=full|database|plugins-themes|uploads] [--label=NAME]
Create a new backup. Runs synchronously and returns when complete.
$ wp sitevault list [--status=completed] [--format=table|csv|json|ids|count]
List existing backups. Machine-readable formats for piping to other commands.
$ wp sitevault restore <id> [--components=database,uploads] [--yes]
Restore from a backup. Selective restore lets you restore only database, plugins, themes, or uploads.
$ wp sitevault verify <id>
Verify a backup's zip integrity without restoring. Fast health check.
$ wp sitevault delete <id> [--yes]
Delete a backup and its files.

Every destructive command supports --yes for unattended runs. --porcelain on backup outputs just the ID for scripting.
Run wp sitevault <command> --help for full option reference on any command.
