WP Telegram Backup
WP Telegram Backup is a WordPress plugin that allows you to backup your WordPress site and upload the backup to Telegram. The plugin creates a database dump and a compressed archive of your WordPress files, splits the archive into 49MB chunks, and uploads the backup parts to Telegram.
Security Risks
Using this plugin comes with security risks. By uploading your WordPress backup to Telegram, you are exposing your data to a third-party service that may not provide adequate security measures. Additionally, if your Telegram API token and chat ID are compromised, an attacker could potentially access your WordPress backup. It is your responsibility to assess these risks and use this plugin at your own discretion.
A to-do item is to add support for PGP encryption in a future version of the plugin.
