Why NBH Backup
Backups should be boring. Restores should be certain.
Most backup tools either fail on shared hosting, lock you into opaque formats, or skip the hard parts — encryption, migration, and a place to test changes. NBH Backup covers the full loop: export, store, import, restore, stage, and deploy.
Built for timeouts
Chunked jobs keep large sites moving on shared hosting instead of dying mid-export.
Safe to move
Portable encrypted .nbh files and serialized-safe URL rewrites when you change domains.
Safe to ship
Clone to staging, test plugins or redesigns, then deploy to production when you’re ready.
Export & security
Selective profiles. Encrypted by default.
Choose Full, Database, Files, Media, Plugins, or Themes. Every new export lands as an encrypted archive with integrity metadata — portable enough to restore on another site without a separate key file.
-
Hardened local storage
Archives sit under uploads with web-access protections for Apache, Nginx, LiteSpeed, and IIS.
-
Preflight before risk
System checks run before export and import so you catch disk, PHP, and storage problems early.
How it works
From live site to a recoverable copy — and back.
A clear path for day-to-day backups and high-stakes migrations.
Export
Pick a profile. NBH Backup packages database and files into a portable .nbh archive with encryption on by default.
Store & import
Keep archives in hardened local storage, download them, or import from a file / public URL when you need them elsewhere.
Restore or stage
Replace live data with a confirmed restore, or clone to staging, test, and deploy to production when the work is ready.
Migration & staging
Move domains. Test safely. Ship with intent.
URL rewrites keep paths like /service intact across http/https and www variants. Staging clones live in private subdirectories with isolated prefixes — then deploy back to production when you’re sure.
- Serialized-safe search & replace
- Multiple named staging sites
- Deploy to production with confirmations
- After a live domain change, add 301s for SEO

Includes store tables and HPOS when enabled, then flushes related caches after restore so the shop comes back clean.
Multisite
Export the current site or the entire network — network admins choose the scope explicitly.
Automation
Schedules, retention, email and webhook notifications keep backups flowing without babysitting wp-admin.

REST API, WP-CLI, and an Addon API for storage drivers and custom job types when you need to extend the core.
