Kuvarssoft Backup & Restore

Kuvarssoft Backup & Restore is a focused, lightweight backup and restore plugin for WordPress that does one job well: it lets you take, restore and download backups of your site without requiring any external service, paid account or cloud credentials. Everything lives on your own server, under the standard wp-content/uploads/wpbc-backups/ folder.

The plugin is built around a chunked backup engine that processes large sites in small steps (15-second chunks) so it can finish even on shared hosting with strict execution-time limits. The same engine drives restore: it can rebuild a site from a single archive in a matter of seconds for small sites or a few minutes for media-heavy ones.

What Kuvarssoft Backup & Restore gives you

• Three backup types — full site (database + uploads + plugins + themes), database-only, and media-only — covering the common day-to-day needs.
• One-click restore — pick any backup from your library and restore it; the plugin updates siteurl / home, replaces stale URLs across the database, and reconnects WordPress when the restore is on the same domain.
• URL Replace — a built-in, serialized-data-safe search-and-replace that rewrites every occurrence of your old site URL to a new one across the whole database (its own URL Replace admin screen). Useful after moving a site to a new domain. Fully included in the free edition.
• Restore Report — every restore produces a clean HTML report (browser-printable to PDF) that lists start/finish time, duration, plugin list, warnings and suggested next steps. Reports live in wp-content/uploads/wpbc-reports/ and are never deleted automatically.
• Built-in error log — when a backup, restore, URL replace or download fails or finishes with a warning, it is recorded in a dedicated wp_wpbc_sync_log table and shown on the Logs screen so you can spot and diagnose problems quickly. The log is preserved across restores (the table is excluded from backup dumps on purpose) and never leaves your server.
• Download manager — every backup archive can be downloaded from the admin UI. A failed download is recorded in the error log and can trigger an email alert.
• Failure email alerts via your own SMTP — configure Gmail, Yandex, or any custom SMTP server (Outlook, Mailgun, SendGrid, Amazon SES, and the like). The plugin emails you when an operation fails — a backup, restore, URL replace or download error — so you hear about problems right away. Routine success messages are not sent. BCC is supported for a secondary recipient.
• Unified backup lock — a single lock prevents two backups from overlapping on the same site, and the Settings page shows the live lock state in real time. Users can release a stuck lock manually if a process crashed.
• No telemetry, no tracking — the backup engine never contacts any external server. Backups stay on your server.

What Kuvarssoft Backup & Restore is NOT trying to be

It is not a marketing tool, a malware scanner, a security suite, or a cloud-storage front-end. If you need scheduled backups, Google Drive / Amazon S3 / Cloudflare R2 upload, site-to-site migration with auto-restore, the full searchable/exportable activity-log viewer, or notifications for every event (not just failures), those are part of a separate Pro edition.

External / third-party services

The Free plugin uses no third-party or external services. It sends no telemetry, no analytics, and uploads nothing off your server — every backup stays in wp-content/uploads/wpbc-backups/ on your own host.

The only remote HTTP request it ever makes is a local self-diagnostic: on the Settings / System screen it calls your own site’s REST API — rest_url( 'wp/v2/types' ) via wp_remote_get() — purely to confirm the REST API is reachable. No data leaves your site, and no external party is contacted, so there is no third-party Terms of Service or Privacy Policy to disclose.

Email notifications are delivered through the SMTP server you configure (your own mail provider). The plugin never routes your mail through any service operated by us.

Use cases

• Take a one-shot full backup before a theme update.
• Restore a database-only snapshot after a botched plugin install.
• Hand a media-only archive to a colleague.
• Keep an offline copy of an entire WordPress site you no longer maintain.
