DadsFam Backups

DadsFam Backups keeps a safety net under your WordPress site. Back up your database and files whenever you like, or set a schedule and forget about it. When something goes wrong, restore in a few clicks.

It’s built for real-world hosting. Big sites usually choke other backup plugins because PHP runs out of time or memory halfway through. DadsFam Backups works in small, resumable steps instead — so a backup that’s too big to finish in one go simply picks up where it left off until it’s done.

What you get (free)

• Full backups — database + plugins, themes, uploads, and the rest of wp-content. Pick exactly what to include.
• Resumable engine — large sites back up in bounded chunks and never time out.
• One-click restore — restore the database, files, or both, right from the dashboard.
• Scheduled backups — daily, weekly or monthly at a time you choose. No server cron setup needed; it runs through WordPress and heals its own schedule.
• Smart retention — automatically keep only the most recent N backups.
• Exclusions — skip caches, node_modules, logs and anything else with simple patterns.
• Email notifications — get told when a backup finishes or fails.
• Activity log — a clear history of every backup, restore and scheduled run.
• Secure storage — backups live in a protected folder (no public web access) and downloads are nonce + capability protected.

Built honestly

No nag screens, no crippled free version, no surprise server configuration. The free plugin really backs up and really restores your whole site.
