Free WordPress Plugin
By Jameson ยท Founder & Lead Developer ยท Updated September 2026
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 โ 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 [--components=database,uploads] [--yes]
Restore from a backup. Selective restore lets you restore only database, plugins, themes, or uploads.
$ wp sitevault verify
Verify a backup's zip integrity without restoring. Fast health check.
$ wp sitevault delete [--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 --help` for full option reference on any command.
