Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Tiny Backup

Backups are saved to wp-content/uploads/tiny-backup-datas. The plugin protects this folder with an .htaccess file (Apache / LiteSpeed) and an empty index.php, and every backup file name includes a random string so that it cannot be guessed. If your server does not read .htaccess files (for example nginx), Tiny Backup shows a warning on its settings page. In that case, block the folder in your server configuration. For nginx: location ^~ /wp-content/uploads/tiny-backup-datas/ { deny all; } Temporary .sql and .part files left behind by an interrupted backup are deleted after one day. When you update from version 1.4.2 or earlier, existing backup files are renamed once to include a random string; their contents and dates do not change.

Yes. Add the following to wp-config.php with an absolute path, preferably outside the public web folder: define( 'TNBU_BACKUP_DIR', '/path/outside/public/folder/tiny-backup' ); Notes: The path must be absolute and writable by the web server. Tiny Backup does not add .htaccess or index.php to a custom folder, so choose a folder that is not reachable from the web. Existing backups are not moved. Move them by hand if you want to keep them in the new folder.

Yes. As of version 1.3.0, you can configure automatic backups for database and files independently using WP-Cron. Options include daily, weekly, and monthly schedules.

WP-Cron is triggered by site visits, so the actual execution time may differ slightly from the configured time on low-traffic sites. The backup will run on the next page load after the scheduled time.

You can select the entire uploads folder or individual subfolders directly under it. Subfolders of subfolders are not selectable. Symbolic links inside the selected folders are followed, and the linked files are saved at the link's location in the ZIP file. Each folder is included only once, even if several links point to it or a link points back to a parent folder.

Tiny Backup backs up the tables whose names start with your WordPress table prefix ($table_prefix in wp-config.php, wp_ by default). Tables of other sites or applications in the same database are not included, so restoring a backup does not overwrite them. If another site in the same database uses a table prefix that starts with yours (for example, wp_ and wp_shop_), its tables are included as well.

Yes, but only super admins can use it. Site administrators do not see the Tiny Backup menu. A database backup contains every site in the network, so database backups (manual and automatic) run only on the main site. A files backup includes the uploads folder of the site where you run it.
