## Descripcion

Tiny Backup is a WordPress plugin that allows you to create backup files simply 
and without any complicated configuration.
 You can create and download the bare
minimum backup with just one click, stress-free.

**Manual Backup**

 * Database backup (SQL inside ZIP) with a single click
 * Files backup from your uploads folder — select specific subfolders as needed
 * Clear progress indicator during backup

**Auto Backup (WP-Cron)**

 * Set separate schedules for database and files backups (daily / weekly / monthly)
 * Configure time, day of week, or day of month for each schedule
 * Manage retention: set max generations for database and files independently
 * Email notifications on success and/or failure (sent to the admin email address)

**General**

 * No external services; everything runs on your server
 * Backup files are stored in `wp-content/tiny-backup`

This plugin is ideal for small to medium sites that need simple, low-overhead backups.

## FAQ

### Where are backups saved?

Backups are saved to `wp-content/tiny-backup` by default.

### Can I change the destination directory?

The destination cannot be changed intentionally. If there are many requests, we 
may add this feature.

### Are scheduled backups supported?

Yes. As of version 1.3.0, you can configure automatic backups for database and files
independently using WP-Cron. Options include daily, weekly, and monthly schedules.

### Does scheduled backup run at the exact time I set?

WP-Cron is triggered by site visits, so the actual execution time may differ slightly
from the configured time on low-traffic sites. The backup will run on the next page
load after the scheduled time.

### What folders can I select for file backup?

You can select the entire uploads folder or individual subfolders directly under
it. Subfolders of subfolders are not selectable.
