General Settings

Backup Behavior & Retention Settings

These options control how WPvivid generates, retains, and packages backups.

• Backups retained
  Defines the maximum number of backup archives stored locally and remotely. When the limit is reached, the oldest backups are automatically deleted.
• Calculate the size of files, folders, and database before backing up
  Scans your site content before starting the backup process and displays an estimated backup size.
• Show WPvivid backup plugin on top admin bar
  Adds a shortcut menu to the WordPress admin toolbar for quick access to backup actions.
• Merge all backup files into a single package
  Combines all backup components into one compressed archive. This reduces file count but may increase processing time.
• Keep storing backups in localhost after uploading to remote storage
  Keeps a local copy of backups after they are successfully uploaded to remote storage.
• Back up symlink folders
  Includes symbolic link directories in backup operations.

Backup Folder & Naming Settings

Configure where backup files are stored locally and how they are named.

• Backup folder name
  Customize the directory name used to store backup files on your server. The folder must be writable by the web server.
• Display domain in backup file name
  Adds your website domain name to backup filenames, making identification easier when managing multiple sites or environments.

Email Notification Settings

Configure automated email reports for backup activities to monitor your backup status without logging into the WordPress dashboard. Follow the steps below to enable email reports for your website:

• 1. Enable email report
  Activates email notifications for backup events.
• 2. Enter notification email address
  Specifies the recipient email address (for example: [email protected]) where backup reports will be sent.
• 3. Choose email sending conditions
  Choose whether to receive a notification for every completed backup (regardless of status) or only when a task encounters errors or fails.

Cleanup & Disk Management

Manage backup cleanup behavior and free disk space used by WPvivid-generated files.

• Remove out-of-date backups
  Immediately deletes backups that exceed your current retention limit from both local storage and remote destinations.
• Delete backup folder when plugin is removed
  Removes all WPvivid backup data and plugin-generated files when the plugin is uninstalled.
• Clean web-server disk space in use by WPvivid
  Displays disk usage statistics and allows you to remove unnecessary plugin-generated files, including backup archives, operation logs, temporary cache files, and unused plugin data.

Import & Export Settings

Transfer WPvivid settings between websites or preserve configuration snapshots.

• Export Settings
  Downloads a configuration file containing your current WPvivid settings, including backup schedules and cloud storage configurations.
• Import Settings
  Uploads a previously exported configuration file to apply the same settings on another site.
