Stalza Backup

Description

Stalza Backup protects your WordPress site with chunked, resumable backups, integrity verification, and safe restore — without unnecessarily overloading your server.

Free includes

  • Manual backups: full, database, files, or media
  • Daily / weekly schedules with retention and exclusions
  • Local protected storage + download
  • Verification and backup manifests
  • Restore with pre-restore safety snapshot
  • WP-CLI for backup, restore, schedule, and jobs (including wp stalza-backup job worker to run backups back-to-back)

Core principles

  • A backup is not successful until verified
  • Restore is as important as backup
  • Local backup works without an external account
  • Free version is genuinely useful

FAQ

Does Free require a cloud account?

No. Local storage and download work without any external account.

Is verification Free?

Yes. Verification and backup manifests are core Free features.

How do scheduled backups run?

Through WordPress cron (stalza_backup_cron_run). On hosts where WP-Cron is unreliable, trigger it with a real system cron calling wp cron event run.
