Make backups of your WordPress site to Google Drive.
== Description ==
If you use this plugin and find it useful please consider [donating](http://hel.io/donate/ "Make a donation for your favorite WordPress plugin."). I have invested (and continue to do so) a lot of time and effort into making this a useful and polished product even though at the moment I have no source of income. Even a small contribution helps a lot.
Backup is a plugin that provides backup capabilities for WordPress. Backups are `zip` archives of created locally and uploaded to a folder of your choosing on Google Drive.
You are in total control of what gets backed up.
= Features =
* Schedule automatic backups.
* Back up the database.
* Back up files and directories.
* Fine grained control over what gets backed up.
* Store backups locally and/or on Google Drive.
* Interrupted uploads to Google Drive automatically resume.
* Get email notifications when something goes wrong.
* The settings page interface uses standard WordPress elements to fit right in.
* Extensive contextual help included.
* Advanced options are provided to control the inner workings of the plugin.
== Installation ==
The plugin requires WordPress 3.4 or higher and is installed like any other plugin.
1. Upload the plugin to the `/wp-contents/plugins/` folder.
2. Activate the plugin from the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
3. Configure the plugin by following the instructions on the `Backup` settings page.
If you need support configuring the plugin click on the `help` button on the top right of the settings page.
== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= Do you plan to support backing up to other services? =
I am thinking of adding more services and will probably do so depending on user demand.
= Does the plugin work with versions of WordPress below 3.4? =
Apart from not being able to purge backups from Google Drive, Backup should work well with WordPress versions 3.0 and up. I do recommend upgrading to WordPress 3.4 though.
== Screenshots ==
1. Screenshot of the Backup settings page.
== Changelog ==
= 2.2 =
* I've included some constants that allow you to predefine options for the backup plugin in the `wp-config.php` file. These are `BACKUP_REFRESH_TOKEN`, `BACKUP_DRIVE_FOLDER`, `BACKUP_CLIENT_ID`, `BACKUP_CLIENT_SECRET` and `BACKUP_LOCAL_FOLDER`.
* Modified the plugin to use the `uninstall.php` file to clean up after itself instead of hooking to the deactivation hook. This means that you won't lose your settings if you just deactivate the plugin. Also the refresh token is not revoked anymore upon uninstalling.
* Fixed a serious bug that allowed existing local folders to be used to store backups, resulting in the deletion of all files inside of it when disabling the plugin.
* Optimized the plugin to use the entire execution time available.
* Other small fixes.
= 2.1.3 =
* Optimized the archiving function.
= 2.1.2 =
* Fixed a bug that was causing Backup to not work on most shared hosts.

* Now generating separate log files for each backup.
* Added a unique token to the manual backup URI so that backups can't be deployed by anyone.
* The default backup folder name contains the unique token and is web inaccessible.

* You can now set a time limit of 0 which will cause the backup process to run as much as it needs to. This is not recommended though.
