## Descrição
StifLi Backup Tools is a professional WordPress backup plugin for creating full
site backups, database backups, file backups, scheduled backups, staging sites,
Fast Staging builds for developers, Local Developer Packages, and migration packages
directly from your WordPress dashboard.
The plugin is designed for everyday WordPress site owners, freelancers, agencies,
and administrators who need a practical backup and restore workflow without depending
on complex server tools. It uses background processing, resumable jobs, chunked
ZIP creation, streaming database exports, and HTTP range downloads to help backups
and restores complete even on shared hosting, slower servers, or environments where
long requests may be interrupted.
For agencies and development teams, StifLi Backup Tools also includes differentiated
workflows for building lean staging environments and exporting Local Developer Packages,
reducing the time spent cloning oversized production sites just to test changes,
debug issues, or hand work over for local development.
Use StifLi Backup Tools to back up WordPress before updates, keep scheduled backup
copies, migrate a site to a new domain, create a staging copy, restore selected
components, or send backup archives to remote storage such as Google Drive, Dropbox,
Amazon S3-compatible storage (including Cloudflare R2), FTP, or SFTP.
Official documentation: [StifLi Backup Tools Documentation](https://andromedanova.com/stifli-backup-tools.html).
#### WordPress backup features
* Full WordPress backups including database, plugins, themes, uploads, and selected
site files.
* Database-only backups for quick snapshots before plugin, theme, or content changes.
* Files-only backup options for plugins, themes, and uploads.
* Differential scheduled backups to save only changed files between full backups.
* Backup integrity checks before restore.
* Backup explorer for reviewing backup contents.
* Component restore for database, plugins, themes, or uploads.
* Selective restore for specific files or directories.
* Backup upload and local backup rescan tools.
* HTTP range downloads for large backup archives and interrupted downloads.
#### Scheduled backups
Create automatic WordPress backups on a schedule and control how many copies are
kept locally and remotely.
* Daily, weekly, fortnightly, monthly, and custom scheduled backup workflows.
* Choose backup components: database, plugins, themes, uploads, or full site.
* Choose local storage, remote storage, or remote-only backups.
* Full or differential backup strategy.
* Separate retention rules for local backups, remote backups, and differential
backups.
* Email notifications for backup results.
* Optional webhook notifications for external monitoring or automation.
#### Remote backup storage
StifLi Backup Tools can send backup archives to remote destinations only after you
explicitly configure and enable them.
Supported destinations include:
* Google Drive
* Dropbox
* Amazon S3
* S3-compatible storage such as Backblaze B2, Wasabi, MinIO, DigitalOcean Spaces,
and Cloudflare R2
* FTP
* SFTP
Remote storage is optional. The plugin does not contact external storage services
unless you enable and configure the corresponding destination.
#### WordPress restore and recovery
Restore your WordPress site from a backup with a guided process and live progress
updates.
* Restore database and files.
* Restore only selected components.
* Restore uploaded backup ZIP files.
* Restore local or remote backup archives.
* Merge differential backups with their parent full backup when required.
* Streaming restore progress designed to avoid browser and hosting timeouts.
* Semaphore locking to help prevent overlapping backup and restore operations.
#### WordPress migration tools
Move a WordPress site to another server or domain using migration packages and URL
remapping.
* Create migration packages from the WordPress dashboard.
* Import migration packages on the destination site.
* Remap URLs when moving to a new domain.
* Optional site-to-site Push/Pull migration using a shared secret between two WordPress
sites you control.
* Standalone installer for migration scenarios where WordPress is not yet installed
on the destination server.
#### Staging sites
Create a staging copy of your WordPress site for safe testing before making changes
on production.
* Create full staging sites or lean Fast Staging builds in a subdirectory.
* Copy files and database tables into the staging environment.
* Exclude selected tables, plugins, themes, uploads, and WooCommerce-heavy data
for developer-focused staging builds.
* Search and replace URLs for the staging copy.
* Track staging job progress.
* Delete staging sites from the plugin interface.
#### Developer workflows
StifLi Backup Tools includes dedicated workflows for developers, freelancers, and
agencies who need faster QA environments and cleaner local handoff packages.
* Fast Staging for developers creates lean staging builds by letting you limit
the copy to the tables, plugins, themes, uploads, and data scope you actually
need.
* Local Developer Package export prepares a portable package for local development
workflows so a selected site snapshot is easier to move, inspect, and hand off.
* Background processing, live progress updates, cancel support, and resumable job
handling help these workflows stay practical on large sites and typical WordPress
hosting.
* Useful for client review environments, bug reproduction, plugin or theme QA,
and pre-release testing without cloning the full production site every time.
#### Maintenance and optimization tools
StifLi Backup Tools also includes practical maintenance utilities for WordPress
administrators.
* Image optimization using the WordPress image editor when available.
* Database cleanup for revisions, spam comments, trash comments, transients, and
overhead.
* Temporary file cleanup for backup, restore, staging, and upload leftovers.
* Custom exclude rules for uploads and wp-content backup paths.
* System information and log viewer for troubleshooting backup issues.
#### Built for shared hosting
Many WordPress sites run on shared hosting or constrained VPS environments. StifLi
Backup Tools is built with those limitations in mind.
* Background processing via WP-Cron.
* Resumable backup and restore stages.
* Chunked ZIP creation.
* Streaming database export and import.
* Memory-aware file operations.
* Locking to avoid concurrent destructive operations.
* Compatibility options for different archive engines and compression profiles.
#### AI agents and MCP abilities
StifLi Backup Tools can expose selected WordPress Abilities to MCP-compatible AI
agents for professional and commercial automation workflows.
* Uses the WordPress Abilities API (WordPress 6.9+).
* Lets administrators enable or disable abilities globally and per ability.
* Exposes a safe default set for backup and remote-management operations.
* Keeps restore and scheduled-execution operations outside MCP ability exposure
by design.
### External services
This plugin can connect to third-party services only when you explicitly enable
and configure the corresponding feature. No telemetry, analytics, license check,
or automatic external update call is made by the plugin.
The full list of services that may be contacted, the data that is sent, and when,
is described below.
#### Google Drive (optional, opt-in)
If you connect a Google account to use Google Drive as a remote backup destination,
the plugin contacts Google’s OAuth and Drive APIs.

[Dropbox Privacy Policy](https://www.dropbox.com/privacy).
#### Amazon S3 and S3-compatible services (including Cloudflare R2) (optional, opt-in)
If you configure an S3-compatible remote destination, the plugin contacts the endpoint
you specify in the destination settings.
* Endpoints used: AWS S3 endpoints such as `https://s3..amazonaws.com`
and `https://.s3..amazonaws.com`, Cloudflare R2 endpoints such
as `https://.r2.cloudflarestorage.com`, or the custom S3-compatible
endpoint URL you enter.
* What is sent: your access key ID, the SigV4-signed request, the backup ZIP file
you choose to upload, and request metadata such as bucket, object key, and size.
Your secret access key is used locally to sign requests and is not sent as plain
text.
* When: only when you test the connection, run a backup that has the S3 destination
selected, or browse, restore, or delete remote backups stored in the bucket.
* Provider terms: depend on the provider you configure. For AWS, see [AWS Service Terms](https://aws.amazon.com/service-terms/)
and [AWS Privacy Notice](https://aws.amazon.com/privacy/). For S3-compatible
providers, see the terms and privacy policy of the provider you choose.
#### FTP and SFTP servers (optional, opt-in)
