Backups via Backblaze

Coming soon

Backups via Backblaze copies a WordPress site to Backblaze B2 on a schedule you choose. Pick what to include, how often to run, and where to send the alert if a run fails.

Backups sit off-site in B2, so a server that dies takes nothing with it.

What it does

On a schedule

From every ten minutes to weekly, run through WP-Cron. Manual runs too, for just before a risky change.

Pick what to include

Database, uploads, themes, plugins, or a full backup of everything at once.

Told when it fails

Email alerts to whichever addresses you nominate, so a silent failure does not go unnoticed for months.

Full history

Every run logged with status, file size, timing and any error, searchable when you need to prove a backup exists.

How it works

  1. 01Install and activate the plugin
  2. 02Create a Backblaze B2 account and bucket if you do not have one
  3. 03Add your B2 credentials under Settings, Backblaze
  4. 04Choose a schedule and what each run should include
  5. 05Check history and status under Tools, Backup Log

What you need

  • WordPress 5.8 or newer
  • PHP 7.4 or newer
  • A Backblaze B2 account and bucket
  • The PHP ZipArchive extension, for file, theme and plugin backups

Still being finished. It will be free and open source on WordPress.org when it is ready.
