Data Backup

Backup #

  1. Navigate to WP Data Access > Data Explorer > Data Backup
  2. Select the tables you want to backup
  3. Define a unique backup id
  4. Select your backup location (backup to local or dropbox folder)
  5. Define a backup interval or select Run once
  6. Define the number of backup files you want to keep

Restore #

  1. Navigate to the Data Explorer
  2. Click on button Import data/Execute script(s) at the top of the screen
  3. Choose the backup file you want to recover from your local or Dropbox folder
  4. Click on the button Import file/Execute script(s)

NOTES #

  • You need to define and activate at least one storage device in Data Backup Settings to use the Data Backup tool
  • Data backup files can be written to a local folder or a Dropbox folder
  • To write backup files to your Dropbox you must first grant access to the WP Data Access Dropbox app (which does not yet have production status)
  • Exported SQL files can be imported into a WordPress database with a different table prefix. The WordPress table prefix is replaced during export by variable {wp_prefix}, which is replaced by the WordPress table prefix on import. If you want to use another tool for import, disable the checkbox “Export with variable WP prefix” in Back-End Settings on the Manage Plugin page. With “Export with variable WP prefix” disabled full table names will be written to the export file.

    Thanks so much for this project! Its amazing. Can we have one of your awesome video tutorials on how to create a scheduled export?
    In my case I cannot save the data to Dropbox or to a Folder because my “loggin information is not found
    ” I obviously did everything in the settings but well, I might have done something wrong.

    Thanks so far! Love your work!

    Hi Nacho,

    Good to hear you like the plugin. I have added your request to my to do list. I’ll try to add a video next week.

    Hi Nacho,

    Today I wanted to create an awesome video tutorial for you Unfortunately the Dropbox app is frozen. At this time it is not possible to add additional users. I will need to take action to solve this issue. I’ll let you know when it is available again. Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Best regards,
    Peter
