Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about BackupRidge
By default, backups are stored in wp-content/uploads/backupridge/backups. In Settings, you can optionally set a subfolder under wp-content/uploads/backupridge/ (for example staging/site-a), but absolute custom paths are not allowed. You can also configure remote storage (S3, R2, FTP, SFTP, and more with Advanced) to upload completed backups off-site.
Yes. BackupRidge saves progress at regular checkpoints and can resume from the last one. If a backup stalls, click "Continue" on the Dashboard to pick up where it left off. A built-in watchdog also detects stalled backups and re-schedules them automatically.
BackupRidge has several fallback mechanisms: a loopback self-call, a cron trigger REST endpoint for system cron, and the ability to run a backup segment during the dashboard status poll. Even on hosts where WP-Cron is disabled or unreliable, backups can make progress whenever someone visits the admin.
Yes. The restore dialog lets you choose which components to restore: database, themes, plugins, uploads, and/or core files. You can optionally save a safety copy of the current database on the server before starting (recommended for large sites only if you accept the extra time).
Yes. From the Migrate admin page, upload a BackupRidge migration archive exported from another site and BackupRidge assembles and restores it here. This receiving side is Standard. Pushing a migration directly from one BackupRidge install to another (including staging clones) is a Advanced feature.
When a backup exceeds the configured maximum archive size, BackupRidge splits it into multiple numbered parts (e.g. backup_001.zip, backup_002.zip). All parts are uploaded to remote storage and can be downloaded individually or all at once via Download All (sequential direct downloads).
Import Backup uploads use chunked admin-ajax requests. Larger chunks reduce request overhead and are often faster, but each chunk must fit PHP limits. BackupRidge automatically detects and applies a safe max chunk size from: upload_max_filesize post_max_size (minus multipart form overhead) If uploads fail above a certain chunk size (for example above 8 MB), increase PHP limits so they are above your target: upload_max_filesize = 16M post_max_size = 24M Then set Settings → Upload → Upload chunk size to a value below those limits (8 MB in this example). Keep post_max_size higher than upload_max_filesize.
WordPress 6.7 or higher and PHP 8.0 or higher. The plugin is tested on WordPress 6.8, 6.9, and 7.0 with PHP 8.0 through 8.3.
Yes. BackupRidge creates an .htaccess file and an index.php file in the backup directory to prevent direct web access on Apache and most hosting environments. For Nginx, add a location block to deny access to the backup directory.
Deleting BackupRidge from Plugins → Installed Plugins removes its settings, scheduled cron events, and its backup storage directory (wp-content/uploads/backupridge), including any backup archives stored there. If you want to keep your backups, move or download them to another location, or switch to a remote storage destination, before deleting the plugin. Simply deactivating the plugin (without deleting it) leaves all settings and stored backups untouched.
