🌟Royal Backup PRO Version – Key Features
- Backup Core WordPress Files – Backup all core WordPress files including wp-admin, wp-includes, and essential root files such as wp-config.php, .htaccess, and more. If something damages or alters these core files — such as viruses, hacker attacks, plugin updates, theme changes, or WordPress updates — you can always revert and restore the original WordPress files.
- Schedule Backups – Schedule backup to run every 1 hour, 12 hours, daily, weekly, once every two weeks and monthly. So you can ‘set and forget’ about Backups. Backup Schedule can be configured for Files and databases separately.

- Dropbox Cloud Backup – Store backups securely on Dropbox. One Click Configuration.
- Amazon S3 Cloud Backup – Store backups securely on Amazon S3. Other Popular Cloud Backup Providers Coming soon.
- **Save Backups in multiple locations simultaneously. ** – Backups can be created and saved simultaneously on your wordpress site and on Cloud storage (Google Drive, Dropbox, Amazon S3) as well. If one Backup location fails, you’ll still have the option to restore or download from the others.
- Backup Retention – Automatically delete older backups to save disk space while retaining recent ones — with full control over how many backups to keep.
- Selective Backup – Choose specific components to backup — such as the database, plugins, themes, WordPress core files, or uploads — individually.
- Selective Restore – Choose specific components to restore – such as the database, plugins, themes, WordPress core files, or uploads — individually.
- Backup Rename – Rename your backups to improve identification, organization, and management.
- Customizable Defaults – Save your preferred backup and restore settings as defaults — so you don’t need to preselect them every time you perform a backup or restore.
- Incremental Backups – Backup only the files and folders that have changed since your last backup, saving both time and storage space.
- Clear Uploads Directory – Perform a full cleanup of the uploads folder during a database reset for a completely fresh start.
- Priority Support – Get direct support from the developers whenever you need help with your backups.
Use Cases
- Regular Backups – Manually create backups of your WordPress site and give them name.
- Development & Testing – Reset your WordPress database for testing or development purposes. This process deletes all files, settings, and posts — giving you a fresh WordPress installation without needing to reinstall WordPress manually. If you’re a tester, you can also create predefined testing backups. For example, create a backup named “Test 1” with pre-installed plugins or themes you frequently use. Or create a backup named “Astra Theme – Template Imported”, where an Astra theme template is already imported — so you can instantly restore your preferred setup from backups without having to re-import everything.
- Pre-Update Safety – Sometimes we forget to create a backup before updating plugins or themes, or when installing new ones. Our smart notification system reminds you to create a backup before these potentially risky actions.
- Only Database Backup – If you’re creating new content daily on your WordPress website — such as posts, pages, and more — you can choose to backup only the database, saving significant storage space. Full file backups can be performed less frequently, such as once per week.
- Only File Backups – If you only want to backup specific WordPress files without the database, you can do so and restore them whenever needed.
- Only WordPress Core files Backup – Securely backup your WordPress core files and easily restore them if they become damaged — for example, by viruses or caching plugins that modify critical files like .htaccess and wp-config.php.
- Automatic Schedule Backups – Our backup plugin will automatically create backups in the background while you work on your WordPress website.
