## Product summary
BackupFlow creates manual full-site, files-only, and database-only WordPress backups. It supports recovery from compatible BackupFlow ZIP archives and migration between WordPress installations. Its interface is designed around clear preflight checks, visible progress, archive management, restore safeguards, and local or off-site copies.

## Core capabilities
- Full backup: WordPress files plus database.
- Files-only backup: themes, plugins, uploads, and site files without replacing database content.
- Database-only backup: WordPress database content without packaging site files.
- Backup Library: review, download, restore, and delete available local backups.
- Restore and migration: upload a compatible BackupFlow ZIP, choose the restore scope, and verify the destination site.
- Storage destinations: Website Server, FTP, and Google Drive.
- Retention controls: keep a configurable number of recent local backups.
- Restore safeguards: preserve destination configuration and optionally create a safety database backup.
- Multilingual website and documentation: English US, English UK, French, German, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese. Translations are embedded and use no translation API.

## Recommended backup workflow
1. Open BackupFlow in WordPress admin.
2. Choose a full, files-only, or database-only backup.
3. Choose Website Server, FTP, or Google Drive.
4. Review preflight results and resolve blocking issues.
5. Keep the progress screen open until completion.
6. Confirm the backup appears in the Backup Library.
7. Keep at least one off-site or downloaded copy.
8. Test recovery on staging before relying on the backup strategy.

## Restore and migration guidance
- Use only compatible archives created by BackupFlow.
- Review whether the operation restores files, database content, or both.
- Avoid production database restores while orders, bookings, registrations, or editorial changes are active.
- After migration, verify login, permalinks, media, forms, checkout, email, cron, webhooks, caching, and environment-specific settings.
- BackupFlow can update source URLs to destination URLs during migration.
- BackupFlow 1.0.1 is documented for single-site WordPress installations.

## Frequently asked questions
### Is BackupFlow free?
Yes. BackupFlow includes manual backup, restore, migration, Website Server storage, FTP, and Google Drive functionality.

### Can BackupFlow restore any ZIP file?
No. The archive must be a compatible ZIP created by BackupFlow.

### Can I move a site to another domain?
Yes. Restore a compatible archive on the destination WordPress installation and complete the migration verification steps.

### Does uninstalling remove backup files?
Backup archives are intentionally preserved so they are not silently destroyed when the plugin is removed.

### Should I keep an off-site copy?
Yes. A remote or downloaded copy helps when the website server itself becomes unavailable or damaged.

### Does the website use Google Translate?
No. All six website and documentation languages are embedded static translations and do not use a translation API or browser auto-translation.

### Where are local backups stored?
Local backups are stored in BackupFlow’s protected storage area on the website server and appear in the Backup Library.

### Can I create files-only or database-only backups?
Yes. Choose the component that matches the recovery point you need, or select both for a complete backup.

### Which remote storage destinations are available?
The documented release supports FTP and Google Drive in addition to Website Server storage.

### Does BackupFlow support WordPress multisite migration?
No. BackupFlow 1.0.1 is documented for single-site WordPress installations.

### What should I verify after a migration?
Verify login, pages, media, permalinks, forms, checkout, email, scheduled tasks, webhooks, caching, and environment-specific settings.

### How should backup archives be protected?
Treat every archive as production data because it may contain users, customer records, uploads, configuration, and secrets stored by other plugins.
