## Description

Stalza Backup protects your WordPress site with chunked, resumable backups, integrity
verification, and safe restore — without unnecessarily overloading your server.

**Free includes**

 * Manual backups: full, database, files, or media
 * Daily / weekly schedules with retention and exclusions
 * Local protected storage + download
 * Verification and backup manifests
 * Restore with pre-restore safety snapshot
 * WP-CLI for backup, restore, schedule, and jobs

**Core principles**

 * A backup is not successful until verified
 * Restore is as important as backup
 * Local backup works without an external account
 * Free version is genuinely useful

## Installation

 2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu
 3. Open **Stalza Backup** in the admin menu

## FAQ

### Does Free require a cloud account?

No. Local storage and download work without any external account.

### Is verification Free?

Yes. Verification and backup manifests are core Free features.

### How do scheduled backups run?

Through WordPress cron (`stalza_backup_cron_run`). On hosts where WP-Cron is unreliable,
trigger it with a real system cron calling `wp cron event run`.

## Changelog

#### 1.0.6

Bug Fixes:

 * Stop writing `$wpdb->prepare()` `%` placeholder hashes into SQL dumps (Elementor`
   settings="%7B%7D"` / site-logo fatals).
 * Exclusive job lock so admin ticks and WP-Cron cannot double-append `filelist.
   txt`.
 * Heal prepare-placeholder corruption on restore and rewrite absolute URLs in uploads
   CSS (Elementor google-fonts CORS).
 * Remap option/usermeta keys and unknown collations when restoring custom table
   prefixes.
 * Stream large zip downloads with Range support; clear Plugin Check ERROR/WARNING
   findings.

Features:

 * Stronger site-to-site restore: prefix rewrite, serialize-safe URL remap, JSON-
   escaped URL pairs, and uploads text-file remaps.

#### 1.0.5

Bug Fixes:

 * Set WordPress.org Contributors to valid username `fuadkm`.

#### 1.0.4

Features:

 * Site-to-site restore: automatic table-prefix rewrite and serialize-safe URL remapping
   when source and destination differ.
 * Restore-completed modal with Go to login (sessions are usually reset after DB
   restore).

Bug Fixes:

 * Dump pagination uses `ORDER BY` primary/unique key so large tables do not emit
   duplicate PKs.
 * Persist SQL restore offset mid-tick and rewrite `INSERT` to `REPLACE` so resume
   cannot fail on Duplicate entry.
 * Restore ticks survive session wipe via tick token (omit stale REST nonce; clear
   cookie check when token present).
 * Harden staging cleanup and prune missing `active_plugins` after restore so incomplete
   plugin copies cannot fatal the site.

#### 1.0.3

Features:

 * Import a Stalza backup zip from cloud or another site (Restore  Upload backup
   modal); verified before restore is offered.
 * Richer backup progress UI: live scan activity, elapsed time, rotating hints, 
   and clearer phase titles.

#### 1.0.2

Performance:

 * Scan phase uses a DFS stack cursor and prunes excluded directories (no O(N²) 
   path re-walk). Mid-upgrade jobs still mid-scan with legacy `resume` restart that
   scan cleanly.
 * Admin REST ticks process up to 500 items / 20s (was 100 / 15s); cron job ticks
   match. Scan phase ignores the item cap and runs under time/memory only so listing
   finishes in one tick on typical sites.
 * Zip STORE for already-compressed media; light DEFLATE for text — less CPU, same
   zip format.
 * Archive seeks `filelist.txt` by byte offset (no full reload each tick); scan 
   batch-appends the list.
 * Admin UI re-ticks ~every 50ms while a job runs (was 1.2s idle gap).

Bug Fixes:

 * Scan progress no longer shows a fake ~99% (`N/(N+1)`); UI shows files found with
   an indeterminate bar until archive/dump has a real total.
