Demfilz Backup makes a complete backup of your WordPress site — the database and your files — packaged into a single zip and stored safely in your own Google Drive . When you need it, restore that backup to bring your site back exactly as it was.
It is built for real-world hosting: backups and restores run in small, resumable steps so large sites don’t hit PHP time or memory limits, and uploads and downloads to Google Drive are chunked (resumable).
Back up
- One click to bundle the database + files into a single .zip .
- Store the backup in Google Drive (your own account) or keep it on the server.
- Choose exactly what to include: database, uploads, themes, plugins, other wp-content, and (optionally) WordPress core.
- wp-config.php and the plugin’s own backup folder are always excluded.
Restore
- Restore from a backup in Google Drive, from a local copy, or by uploading a .zip .
- Brings your database and files back as they were — a straightforward rollback / disaster recovery for the site.
Automatic, scheduled backups
- Daily, weekly or monthly backups to Google Drive via WP-Cron.
- Retention: keep only the most recent N backups and prune the rest automatically.
- Optional email report after each scheduled backup.
Connect in one click
By default you connect Google Drive with a single Connect with Google click — no Google Cloud project, no copying keys. This uses a Demfilz sign-in helper that only brokers the Google authorization; your backups themselves always go directly from your server to your Google Drive . Only the drive.file scope is requested, so the plugin can see and manage only the backup files it creates.
Prefer to use your own Google app? Switch to Advanced → Use my own Google app on the Settings screen and paste your own Client ID and Secret — then nothing passes through Demfilz at all.
Moving a site to a new domain
This plugin restores a backup onto its own site. If you want to move or clone a site to a different URL , the separate Demfilz Backup Pro add-on (available from https://demfilz.com/demfilz-backup) adds serialization-safe cross-URL migration — it is a distinct plugin and is not required for backing up or restoring your site here.
