This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.

Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:

wp plugin install https://github.com/nobashtech/nobash-backup/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
No built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.

Nobash Backup helps WordPress site owners create recovery points, automate backup routines, and recover when updates, changes, or unexpected problems disrupt a website. The interface is designed for everyday use, with more advanced options available when needed.

Features

Capability What it does
Website backups Back up the database, files, or the complete supported website.
Backup scheduling Configure recurring backups for ongoing protection.
Recovery and restore Choose a saved backup and restore supported database and/or file content.
Incremental and differential modes Choose supported backup strategies to fit the site.
Resumable jobs Process longer backup and restore jobs in smaller steps.
Backup verification Check supported archives before restoration.
Password protection Protect supported archives with a password.
Import and migration Import portable .nbh archives from supported local or HTTPS sources.
Activity and reports Follow backup status and recent operations from the WordPress dashboard.

Some capabilities depend on the site's hosting environment, configuration, and archive type. See the WordPress.org readme for complete usage information.

Get started

  1. Make an independent site backup before installing a new backup tool.
  2. Install Nobash Backup from WordPress.org, or use its official release ZIP in Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
  3. Activate the plugin and open its settings in WordPress.
  4. Choose what to back up, configure storage and scheduling as needed, and run a backup.
  5. Verify your backup and test restoration on staging before relying on it for production recovery.

Important: GitHub's automatic Source code download is intended for development, not as a WordPress release package. Use an official WordPress.org release archive for normal installation.

Requirements

  • WordPress: 6.2 or later
  • PHP: 7.4 or later
  • License: GPL v2 or later

Hosting resources, available storage, file permissions, PHP limits, and scheduling behavior can affect backup and restoration. Large or complex websites should be tested under realistic conditions.

Development

This repository mirrors the WordPress plugin source for version 1.0.0.1 and includes additional GitHub project documentation and basic PHP syntax automation. Development additions do not alter the release's runtime PHP, JS, CSS or assets.

Repository layout

  • nobash-backup.php — plugin bootstrap
  • includes/ — PHP components and backup/restore implementation
  • assets/ — administrative interface assets
  • languages/ — localization resources, if supplied in the release
  • readme.txt — official WordPress plugin-directory documentation
  • .github/workflows/ — automated syntax validation

Syntax validation

find . -type f -name '*.php' -not -path './.git/*' -print0 | xargs -0 -n1 php -l

Linting is not a substitute for integration tests. Validate activation, backup creation, verification, restore, job resumption, multisite support where applicable, and hosting compatibility in an isolated WordPress environment before deploying changes.

Contributing

Thoughtful bug reports and focused improvements are welcome. See CONTRIBUTING.md, and check existing issues before opening a new report. Never publish private backups, credentials, or database exports in public issues.

Security

Please do not disclose vulnerabilities publicly before maintainers have had an opportunity to investigate. See SECURITY.md.

Original plugin code is licensed under GPL v2 or later. See LICENSE for the license text. Third-party components, if any, retain their respective licensing terms.
