No proprietary formats, no external services, no obfuscated code. Everything is processed on your own server in small chunks so it works on large sites without timing out. **Features** * One‑click backup of database + `wp-content` to a standard ZIP. * Chunked, resumable engine (AJAX) — handles large sites. * Restore from the backup list, or upload a ZIP from another site. * Migrate over a link: issue a secret, expiring link on the source site and the destination pulls the backup directly — no manual download, no upload limits. * Migration-safe URL replacement that understands PHP-serialized data — moving to a new domain won’t corrupt widget, theme, or plugin settings. * Download backups securely from the admin (capability + nonce protected). * Backups stored in a protected `naqil-backup` folder inside your uploads directory. * Fully translatable — ships with Arabic, RTL-ready admin screens. * Built-in Help screen documenting every feature and how to use it. ## Screenshots [⌊The Backups screen: create a backup, then restore, download, share, or delete it.⌉⌊The Backups screen: create a backup, then restore, download, share, or delete it.⌉[ The Backups screen: create a backup, then restore, download, share, or delete it.

Upload the `naqil-backup` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install the ZIP from Plugins Add New. 2. Activate the plugin. 3. Open **Naqil Backup** in the admin menu. ## FAQ ### Where are backups stored? In a protected `naqil-backup` folder inside your WordPress uploads directory, protected by an `.htaccess` deny rule and an `index.php` stub. Download them from the admin screen. ### Does it work on large sites? Yes. The database and files are processed in small batches across multiple requests, so it avoids PHP timeouts. ### What format are the backups? Standard ZIP. Inside you’ll find `naqil-manifest.json`, `database.sql`, and a `content/` copy of `wp-content`. ### How does “migrate over a link” work? On the source site, click **Migration link** next to a backup — a secret link is copied to your clipboard. On the destination site, open **Naqil Backup Migrate & Import**, paste the link, and click **Pull backup**. The destination downloads the archive directly from the source in small chunks, verifies it, and offers to restore it. Links expire after 3 days; only the SHA-256 hash of the token is stored, issuing a new link invalidates the old one, and deleting the backup revokes its link. ### Can I move a site to a different domain? Yes. When you restore a backup made on another URL, all occurrences of the old URL are replaced with the new one — including inside PHP-serialized and JSON-encoded settings, where a naive search/replace would break the data. The rewrite never calls` unserialize()`, so database content can’t trigger object injection. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Naqil Backup & Migrate” is open source software.
