Simple automated back ups of your WordPress powered website.

== Description ==

BackUpWordPress will back up your entire site including your database and all your files once every day. It has several advanced options for power users.

= Features =

* Super simple to use, no setup required.
* Uses `zip` and `mysqldump` for faster back ups if they are available.
* Works in low memory, "shared host" environments.
* Option to have each backup file emailed to you.
* Works on Linux & Windows Server.
* Control advanced options by defining any of the optional `Constants`.
* Exclude files and folders from your back ups.
* Good support should you need help.

== Installation ==

1. Install BackUpWordPress either via the WordPress.org plugin directory, or by uploading the files to your server.
2. Activate the plugin.
3. Sit back and relax safe in the knowledge that your whole site will be backed up every day.

The plugin will try to use the `mysqldump` and `zip` commands via shell if they are available, using these will greatly improve the time it takes to back up your site. If you know about such things then you can point the plugin in the right direction by defining `HMBKP_ZIP_PATH` and `HMBKP_MYSQLDUMP_PATH` in your `wp-config.php`.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

**Where does BackUpWordPress store the backup files?**

Backups are stored on your server in `wp-content/backups`, you can change the directory.

**Important:** By default BackUpWordPress backs up everything in your site root as well as your database, this includes any non WordPress folders that happen to be in your site root. This does means that your backup directory can get quite large.

**How do I restore my site from a backup?**

You need to download the latest backup file either by clicking download on the backups page or via `FTP`. `Unzip` the files and upload all the files to your server overwriting your site. You can then import the database using your hosts database management tool (likely `phpMyAdmin`).

**How do I change BackUpWordPress options?**

A list of available options can be found on the Backups page in the admin. Click the Advanced Options button to see all the options.

To set an option you define a `Constant` in your `wp-config.php` file see the following links for help defining `Constants` and editing your `wp-config.php` file:

* http://php.net/manual/en/language.constants.php
* http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php

For example: to set the number of backups stored to 3 add `define( 'HMBKP_MAX_BACKUPS', 3 );` to your `wp-config.php` file.

**Does BackUpWordPress back up the backups directory?**

No.

**How many backups are stored by default**

BackUpWordPress stores the last 10 backups by default.

== Changelog ==

#### 1.3

* Re-written back up engine, no longer copies everything to a tmp folder before zipping which should improve speed and reliability.
* Support for excluding files and folders, define `HMBKP_EXCLUDE` with a comma separated list of files and folders to exclude, supports wildcards `*`, path fragments and absolute paths.
* Full support for moving the backups directory, if you define a new backups directory then your existing backups will be moved to it.
* Work around issues caused by low MySQL `wait_timeout` setting.
* Add FAQ to readme.txt.
* Pull FAQ into the contextual help tab on the backups page.
* Block activation on old versions of WordPress.
* Stop guessing compressed backup file size, instead just show size of site uncompressed.

* Better name for the database dump file.
* Better name for the backup files.
* Improve styling for advanced options.
* Show examples for all advanced options.
* Language improvements.
* Layout tweaks.
