DB Backup by Fairshare.tech lets you create automated WordPress database backups on your preferred schedule. It uses mysqldump if available for fast and reliable backups, and falls back to a PHP-based method if mysqldump is unavailable.

Backups are stored securely in your wp-content/uploads/db_backup/ directory, and you can choose to have them emailed to your admin email address. The plugin provides a settings page for configuration and supports triggering backups via a real cron job for reliability.

Features

Flexible backup frequency: Daily, Weekly, or Monthly.
Backups saved in wp-content/uploads/db_backup/ with timestamped filenames.
Option to email backups to the admin email address.
Uses mysqldump if available, with PHP fallback.
No dependency on WP-Cron—supports real cron jobs via a secure endpoint.
Secure authentication using unique access key for cron URL.
Simple configuration via WordPress Settings page.

安裝方式

Upload the db-backup-by-fairshare folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
Go to Settings DB Backup to configure:
- Backup frequency (Daily, Weekly, Monthly)
- Email backup option (Yes / No)
If you want real cron jobs:
- Copy the cron URL from the settings page.
- Add it to your hosting cron manager or an external service (e.g., EasyCron).

Requirements:
– mysqldump installed on the server (optional, for faster backups).
– exec() function enabled in PHP (required for mysqldump method).
– If exec() or mysqldump is not available, the plugin uses a PHP-based backup.

常見問題集

Where are backups stored?: All backups are stored in wp-content/uploads/db_backup/ with a timestamped filename.
Can I change the backup schedule?: Yes. Go to Settings DB Backup and choose Daily, Weekly, or Monthly.
Can I disable email notifications?: Yes. On the settings page, select No for the “Email Backup” option.
Does it work without mysqldump?: Yes. If mysqldump or exec() is not available, the plugin uses a PHP-based fallback to create the backup.
How do I set up a real cron job?: On the settings page, copy the provided URL and add it to your hosting control panel’s cron job scheduler or use an external service like EasyCron.
Is the cron URL secure?: Yes. The URL contains a unique 32-character access key that’s generated during plugin activation. This key doesn’t expire and provides excellent security for your backup endpoint.
