## Descripción
**SiteVault** is a free WordPress backup, restore, and migration plugin built for
reliability. Back up your entire site — database, plugins, themes, and uploads —
with one click. Restore from any backup instantly, or create a migration package
to move your site to a new host with automatic URL remapping and serialized data
handling.
SiteVault stores backups in a protected local directory on your server, works on
shared hosting, and handles large sites with async processing built for strict timeout
and memory limits.
#### Works With Your Hosting & Stack
SiteVault runs on any standards-compliant WordPress host and backs up any content
stored in your database and uploads directory:
* **Shared hosting** — Async chunked processing keeps backups completing reliably
under strict PHP timeout and memory limits.
* **Managed hosting** — Backups copy only WordPress content (database, plugins,
themes, uploads), so host system folders are never included.
* **eCommerce and memberships** — Customer orders, products, course progress, and
membership data are backed up as standard WordPress posts and meta.
* **Page builders** — Builder content stored in post meta and serialized fields
is captured intact regardless of which builder created it.
* **Multilingual** — Translated posts and language taxonomies back up with all
language relationships preserved.
* **Caching plugins** — Cache folders in wp-content sit outside the folders SiteVault
copies, so backup sizes stay lean.
#### Backup Features
* **Full Site Backup** – Complete backup of database, plugins, themes, and uploads
* **Database-Only Backup** – Quick database snapshots for content changes
* **Plugins & Themes Backup** – Back up just your plugins and themes before updates
* **Uploads-Only Backup** – Back up just your media library files
* **Backup Preview** – Modal shows components and estimated compressed size before
a backup starts
* **Backup Labels** – Optional label up to 60 characters, editable on the Create
Backup form and filterable on the Backups list
* **Backup History** – View all your backups with size, date, and status
* **Backup Manifest** – Each backup includes metadata about your site configuration
#### Restore Features
* **One-Click Restore** – Restore your entire site from any backup
* **Restore Confirmation Screen** – Review tables and files that will be replaced,
then type “RESTORE” to proceed — prevents accidental overwrites
* **Backup Validation** – Validates backup integrity before restoring
* **Safe Restore** – Checks permissions and requirements before starting
* **Status Tracking** – Monitor restore progress in real-time
#### Migration Features
* **Migration Packages** – Create complete site packages for moving hosts
* **Standalone Installer** – Migration packages include a standalone installer
* **URL Remapping** – Automatic URL replacement for new domains
* **Serialized Data Handling** – Properly handles WordPress serialized data
* **Download Packages** – Download migration packages for manual upload
#### Scheduled Backup Features
* **Daily, Weekly, or Monthly Cadence** – Set a recurring schedule and SiteVault
runs backups automatically
* **Per-Schedule Backup Type** – Choose full, database-only, plugins-themes, or
uploads-only per schedule
* **Per-Schedule Retention** – Set how many backups each schedule keeps; older
ones prune automatically
* **Multiple Concurrent Schedules** – Run different cadences for different backup
types simultaneously
* **Manual Run** – Trigger any schedule immediately from the Schedules page
#### Developer & Automation Features
* **WP-CLI Commands** – Drive backups from the command line: `wp sitevault backup`,`
wp sitevault list`, `wp sitevault restore `, `wp sitevault delete `, `
wp sitevault verify `
* **Selective Restore** – Restore only specific components with `--components=database,
plugins,themes,uploads`
* **Labeled Backups** – `--label=` flag on `wp sitevault backup` for scripted
labeled backups
* **Scriptable Output** – `--porcelain` for machine-readable backup IDs and `--
format=table|csv|json|ids|count` on list output for pipelines
* **Unattended Runs** – `--yes` flag skips destructive-operation prompts, so backups
and restores work under cron and CI
* **Works With System Cron** – On hosts that disable WP-Cron, run `wp cron event
run --due-now` from system cron and scheduled backups still run
#### Core Features
* **Protected Storage** – Backups stored in protected directories
* **Logging System** – Comprehensive logs for troubleshooting
* **Clean Interface** – Simple, intuitive admin panel
* **Lightweight** – Minimal impact on site performance
* **Secure** – Proper nonce verification and capability checks
#### Pro Features
Upgrade to [SiteVault Pro](https://royalplugins.com/sitevault) for advanced features:
* **Cloud Storage** – Dropbox, Google Drive, Google Cloud, Amazon S3, S3-Compatible,
OneDrive, FTP/SFTP
* **Staging Environments** – Create staging sites to test changes safely
* **Push to Live** – Push staging changes to production
* **AES-256 Encryption** – Encrypt backups for maximum security
* **Email Notifications** – Get notified of backup success or failure
* **WooCommerce Compatible** – WooCommerce tables are included in every database
backup, and caches and order tables are refreshed after a restore
* **Priority Support** – Fast, dedicated support from our team

## Preguntas frecuentes
### How many backups can I keep?
There is no limit on the number of backups. Old backups are automatically cleaned
up based on your retention settings. The default retention is 30 backups.
### Where are backups stored?
Backups are stored in `wp-content/uploads/sitevault/backups/`. The folder gets .
htaccess, web.config and index.php guard files, and every file name includes a random
part. On nginx, which ignores .htaccess, add a server rule that denies that folder.
### How long does a backup take?
Backup time depends on your site size. Small sites (under 100MB) typically complete
in under a minute. Larger sites may take several minutes.
### Can I migrate to a different domain?
Yes! Create a migration package and use the included installer on your new server.
URLs are automatically replaced.
### Is my data safe?
Backups are stored in folders with access-guard files and unguessable file names,
and log files leave out file names. A restore takes a copy of your current database
first and puts it back if the restore fails.
### Does it work with WooCommerce?
Yes! Backup and restore works with WooCommerce sites.
### Can I schedule automatic backups?
Yes. Open the SiteVault Schedules page in the admin menu and create a schedule at
daily, weekly, or monthly cadence. Each schedule has its own backup type (full,
database-only, plugins-themes, or uploads-only) and retention count, and you can
run any schedule manually from the same page.
### What’s the difference between backup types?
* **Full** – Database + all files (plugins, themes, uploads)
* **Database** – Just the MySQL database (fastest)
* **Plugins & Themes** – Just plugins and themes, no uploads or database
* **Uploads** – Just media library files
### How do I restore a backup?
Go to Backups, find your backup, and click “Restore”. The plugin opens a confirmation
screen showing which tables and files will be replaced and asks you to type “RESTORE”
to confirm — this prevents accidental overwrites. Once confirmed, SiteVault validates
the backup and restores your site automatically.
### Can I download my backups?
Yes! Each backup has a download button so you can save copies locally or transfer
to another server.
### Will SiteVault work on shared hosting?
Yes. SiteVault is built for shared hosting from the ground up. The async backup
engine uses chunked ZIP streaming, primary-key pagination, adaptive chunk sizing,
and semaphore locking — all designed to complete on hosts with strict 30-second
PHP timeouts, 128MB memory limits, and limited file handle counts.
### Will SiteVault slow down my WordPress site?
No. Backup and restore operations only run when you trigger them manually or when
a schedule you configured fires — visitor-facing pages are never touched. Scheduled
runs use WP-Cron and hand off immediately to a background async engine, so the request
that fires the cron isn’t delayed. The admin UI loads only when you visit a SiteVault
admin page.
### Does SiteVault work with multilingual plugins?
Yes. Translated posts are backed up like any other WordPress content — the language
taxonomy, translation meta, and per-language post records are all included in full
and database-only backups. After a migration or restore, translated content reappears
with all language relationships intact.
### Can I use SiteVault to clone my live site for staging or local development?
Yes. Create a Migration Package on your live site, download it, and run the included
standalone installer (`installer.php`) on your staging server, local environment,
or a fresh WordPress install. SiteVault automatically remaps the site URL and handles
serialized data so widgets, theme customizer settings, page builder content, and
plugin options all work without manual search-and-replace.
### What’s the maximum backup file size SiteVault can handle?
There is no fixed maximum — SiteVault streams ZIP archives with adaptive chunk sizing,
so the limit is your server’s available disk space and execution time. For very
large sites, the database-only backup option remains fast even when full backups
take longer.
### Does SiteVault work with caching plugins?
Yes. Cache folders in wp-content are not part of what SiteVault backs up (they regenerate
on the destination site after restore, so backing them up is wasted space). The
plugin’s own admin pages are not cached because most caching plugins exclude `/wp-
admin/` by default.
