Full-site WordPress backup
Your whole site. One ZIP. No size ceiling.
BackupEncoder packs your files and database into a single ZIP in a folder you choose, however big the site. Every backup comes with its own restore script, so you can put the site back, or move it to a new domain, in a few clicks.

What's in a backup
One file you can actually move around.
Everything lands in your destination folder, inside a folder named after this site, with the site’s domain and the date in the filename. Take the ZIP anywhere, or leave it on the server.
BackupEncoderFiles / YourSite / example.com-2026-09-30-030002.zip
Your files
WordPress, themes, plugins and uploads. Cache folders, .git and node_modules are skipped automatically.
Your database
Every table, dumped with mysqldump where the server has it, with a built-in PHP fallback where it doesn’t.
restore.php and a log
A standalone restore script and a plain-text log sit next to the ZIP, both ready to download.
Back up, keep, restore
The whole life of a backup, handled.
01
Back up
Click Backup, or let the schedule do it. Large sites are built in short, time-limited steps so the server’s PHP time limit never cuts it off.
02
Keep
Backup History lists every ZIP with its size and date. Download the ZIP, restore.php or both, read the log, or delete old ones.
03
Restore anywhere
Copy the ZIP and restore.php into a clean WordPress install, open restore.php in your browser, and the site comes back on the same domain or a new one.
Why it holds up
Made for sites that outgrew their backup plugin.
No artificial size limit
The ZIP grows as big as your site needs. There’s no built-in cap to hit.
Resumable in steps
Work is split into requests of a set length (20 seconds by default), so slow hosts keep going.
Integrity checks
Choose basic size checks or full checksums, and decide what happens if a file fails. A file that only changed mid-backup is told apart from a real fault.
Large downloads
ZIPs are streamed in chunks. If a download fails, you’re shown the exact server path to fetch it by FTP.
Five tabs
Backup, Schedule, Settings, History, Audit Log.
Backup
A progress bar, time remaining and a live log you can copy.
Schedule
Run every N hours or days from a start time, and keep a set number of backups. A backup with a problem is run again, and you’re emailed if it’s still there.
Settings
Destination folder, exclusions, time per request, integrity checking and where to email problems.
Backup History
Every backup with Zip, restore.php, Both, View Log and Delete.
Audit Log
What BackupEncoder did, when, and who asked for it, including every changed setting. Search it, sort it, or download it as a CSV.
