HissenIT WordpressSSHBackup

Using and working with the WordPress platform has its advantages, and those who dwell deep into developing and configuring their content will most likely encounter situations or contexts where having a backup available is essential. Aside from manually importing the database and re-uploading it to the corresponding host, users can also rely on specialized software, such as HissenIT WordpressSSHBackup.

This application was built specifically in order to enable users to back up their WordPress installation locally, by relying on an SSH connection, having as its single prerequisite, the existence of an SSH account for users’ corresponding server or host.

It will basically render a copy of the root directory that contains the configuration, and all the associated content, such as scripts and files of various formats, as well as the included MySQL database environment. Users can rely on HissenIT WordpressSSHBackup in other contexts as well, such as when wanting to back up hosted systems like Content-Management-Systems, which are based on MySQL stacking.

One will have the option of selectively back-up only the database itself, or, just the files and the backup process implements a scripting system that relies on the tar and mysqldmp commands, which yield ZIP archives of the selected files and scripts.
