Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview
About this plugin
BackupNest lets you create complete WordPress backups (files + database), schedule automatic backups (daily, weekly, monthly), and keep a limited number of backups using a retention policy. Everything is stored locally on your own server — no external service, no data leaves your site.

How It Works
Click “Backup Now” or set a schedule.
BackupNest exports your database and collects your website files.
It compresses everything into a single ZIP archive.
The archive is verified for integrity.
The backup is stored in a protected directory on your server.
Older backups are automatically removed based on your retention setting.
External Services
This plugin does not connect to any external service. All backups are stored locally on your server. No data is transmitted outside your WordPress installation.
Privacy
This plugin does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to external servers. All backup data remains on your own server. If email notifications are enabled, they are sent using your site’s own WordPress mail configuration.
