Smart Backup is a complete WordPress backup plugin for database and file operations. You can create backups of your complete WordPress installation, files only, or database only. Backups can be restored using phpMyAdmin or various cPanel utilities.

Backups can be sent via email as attachments. Amazon S3 backup is available as an on-demand solution.

The plugin allows the user to set hourly, daily, weekly or monthly schedules on preset hours, minutes, even seconds, or set up single backups on preset dates, with second precision.

The plugin also allows for on-the-spot backup creation for safekeeping, both on the server and on Amazon S3.

Options for the scheduler include backup types (raw .sql file, GZIP archive, BZIP archive) and notification emails for backup success or failure.

The backup manager allows for backup download and keeps track of all manual backups.
