Two-click recovery from the worst-case scenarios for non-techies. Backup, restore and duplicate sites of any size.

== Description ==

Darwin Backup is an ultimate backup and restoration tool **for non-techies**. No more pain restoring Wordpress after a disaster of any severity, no more money spent on developers fixing your Wordpress site after a faulty upgrade.

There are many cool backup plugins but restoration was never simple nor easy for non-techies, until now. Darwin Backup is designed to make restore process as easy as two clicks and, in most cases, you don't need even know what are your FTP, mysql credentials or directory location. Just point your browser to the link Darwin Backup provides you with, authorize yourself using your Wordpress administrator credentials and click 'Login' (1-st click), then click 'Restore' (2-nd click).

The plugin doesn't support scheduled backups, yet. Sorry. But we are already working on it !

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Why authorize during restore? =

The archives produced by Darwin Backup are world-accessible and does not depend on Wordpress code base so you can restore even if your Wordpress renders 500 Internal Server Error. If archives are not protected with username / password, a malicious user who has the link to archive can restore your site to some previous state w/o your permission. On restore, archive will check if it can authorize you against your current Wordpress installation, and if it can - it will prompt you for your Wordpress username / password. If your original Wordpress mysql instance is not accessible (eg when restored on a different host) - you will get directly to the recovery screen, no username/password asked, so do not forget to delete archive

= Do I need to backup uploads folder? =

Only if you are going to replicate the site. Otherwise - no, uploads folder does not contain files needed to restore your Wordpress to a working state, so feel free to not backup it for the restoration purposes.

= How to duplicate a site? =

Just download the archive, upload it to the new site and point your browser to it.

= I'm getting Fatal error: Allowed memory size ... exhausted ... =

* Increase memory_limit php ini setting to be around 2x archive size. Please consult your hosting provider documentation on how to do this.
* Sometimes archives are just too large to fit memory. In this case, download <a href="http://darwinapps.com/restore.php">restore.php</a> and upload to the same directory where you archive is.

**IMPORTANT**: You can hit this problem only when duplicating sites or pointing your browser directly to the archive file. Copied to clipboard or emailed links, provided after backup or from listing screen, are already wrapped with <a href="http://darwinapps.com/restore.php">restore.php</a>
