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.

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 LocalWP-friendly 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.
