Backup Filename Templates

Free — Custom backup filenames: Choose a filename prefix (plugin default, site URL hostname, or site name) with automatic date/time stamping. Pro — Custom filename templates: Build filenames from placeholders such as {site}, {type}, {datetime}, {id}, and {seq} instead of a fixed prefix.

{site}_{type}_{seq}_{datetime}

Database

Choose export method and configure table/chunk behavior.

Resumption & Reliability

Tune resume intervals, retries, and host profile presets.

Performance presets: Choose a profile such as Default, Slow host, or Fast host. Auto-detect host capabilities probes PHP limits and extensions to suggest a safer preset on constrained servers.

Upload chunk size should be tuned to your host limits and network stability.
