Luzid Backup to Nextcloud<\/strong> uploads your existing WordPress backup files to a Nextcloud folder via WebDAV.<\/p>\n\n

It is designed for two main workflows:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  1. Automate offsite copies<\/strong>: upload backup archives on a schedule (WordPress Cron).<\/li>\n
  2. Manual runs + monitoring<\/strong>: start uploads manually and follow progress + logs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    Typical use cases:<\/p>\n\n

      \n
    • Keep an offsite copy of backup archives generated by popular backup plugins.<\/li>\n
    • Upload backups to a structured Nextcloud folder (per source, per domain).<\/li>\n
    • Reduce storage usage with optional rotation (keep only the last N backup sets per source).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

      Core concepts:<\/p>\n\n

        \n
      • Sources<\/strong> \u2013 each source represents a folder where backup files are created (UpdraftPlus, BackWPup, WPvivid, All-in-One WP Migration, Duplicator, or custom).<\/li>\n
      • Upload<\/strong> \u2013 the plugin scans sources for backup files and uploads them to Nextcloud via WebDAV PUT.<\/li>\n
      • Streaming<\/strong> \u2013 files larger than 2 MB are uploaded via cURL streaming (reads from disk, never loads the entire file into RAM). This prevents memory and timeout issues on shared hosting.<\/li>\n
      • Schedule<\/strong> \u2013 optional daily\/weekly\/monthly runs at a fixed time (WordPress Cron; traffic-dependent).<\/li>\n
      • Rotation<\/strong> \u2013 keep the newest N backup sets and remove older ones on Nextcloud.<\/li>\n
      • Email Reporting<\/strong> \u2013 get notified on successful or failed transfers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

        Features<\/h3>\n\n
          \n
        • Nextcloud WebDAV connection with one-click Save & Test<\/li>\n
        • Password field with visibility toggle and browser autofill protection<\/li>\n
        • Multiple backup sources (known plugins + custom folders)<\/li>\n
        • File filters by extension<\/li>\n
        • Streaming uploads for large files (low RAM usage)<\/li>\n
        • Manual upload with progress modal<\/li>\n
        • Scheduled runs: Daily, Weekly, or Monthly (WordPress Cron)<\/li>\n
        • Email notifications for successful\/failed transfers<\/li>\n
        • Log viewer with clear function<\/li>\n
        • Rotation \/ retention (keep last N backup sets)<\/li>\n
        • Context-aware action buttons per tab<\/li>\n
        • German and English admin UI with integrated How-To guide<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

          Usage<\/h3>\n\n

          1. Setup (connection)<\/h4>\n\n
            \n
          1. Fill in WebDAV URL, username, app password, and remote folder.<\/li>\n
          2. Click Save & Test<\/strong> \u2013 this saves settings and tests the connection in one step.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

            2. Backup Sources<\/h4>\n\n
              \n
            1. Switch to the Backup Sources<\/strong> tab.<\/li>\n
            2. Enable one or more sources (paths and extensions are pre-filled).<\/li>\n
            3. Click Save Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

              3. Manual Upload<\/h4>\n\n
                \n
              1. Click Start Manual Upload<\/strong> (available once a source is enabled).<\/li>\n
              2. A progress modal shows the upload status.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

                4. Schedule + Rotation<\/h4>\n\n
                  \n
                • Enable the schedule, choose frequency and time, then save.<\/li>\n
                • Enable rotation and choose how many backup sets to keep.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

                  License<\/h3>\n\n

                  This plugin is licensed under the GNU General Public License v2.0 or later<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

                    \n
                  1. Upload the plugin folder to \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> or install via the WordPress Plugins screen.<\/li>\n
                  2. Activate Luzid Backup to Nextcloud<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
                  3. Go to WP Admin \u2192 Luzid WP Tools \u2192 Backup to Nextcloud<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
                    \n

                    Does this plugin create backups?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                    No. It uploads backup archives created by other tools. Configure your backup plugin first.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                    Why does the schedule not run exactly on time?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                    WordPress Cron is traffic-based. If the site has no visits around the scheduled time, the run may be delayed.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                    Should I use a normal password or an app password?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                    Always use a Nextcloud App Password<\/strong> (Settings \u2192 Security \u2192 Devices & Sessions).<\/p><\/dd>\n

                    My upload gets stuck on large files<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                    The plugin streams files larger than 2 MB via cURL to avoid PHP memory limits. If uploads still time out, check your hosting provider's PHP max_execution_time<\/code> setting.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                    The password field is filled with the wrong password<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                    Click the eye icon next to the password field to reveal and verify the content. The field uses autocomplete=\"new-password\"<\/code> to prevent browser autofill, but some browsers may still fill it. Clear the field and enter your Nextcloud app password manually.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n

                    1.3.0<\/h4>\n\n
                      \n
                    • Streaming uploads<\/strong>: Files > 2 MB are now uploaded via cURL streaming (reads from disk, never loads entire file into RAM). Solves timeout and memory issues on shared hosting with large backup files.<\/li>\n
                    • Context-aware buttons<\/strong>: Each tab shows only the relevant action buttons. Setup shows only \"Save & Test\"; Backup Sources and Schedule show \"Save Settings\"; How-To hides all buttons.<\/li>\n
                    • Upload button gating<\/strong>: \"Start Manual Upload\" is disabled (greyed out) until at least one backup source is enabled.<\/li>\n
                    • Password field improvements<\/strong>: Visibility toggle (eye icon), autocomplete=\"new-password\"<\/code> to prevent browser autofill, renamed form field name to avoid browser recognition.<\/li>\n
                    • Removed \"Remove password\" checkbox<\/strong>: Passwords are now simply replaced by entering a new one.<\/li>\n
                    • Default source paths<\/strong>: Backup source paths and file extensions always fall back to sensible defaults (even after reset). Empty fields are never saved \u2013 defaults are restored automatically.<\/li>\n
                    • \"Delete All Settings\" preserves defaults<\/strong>: Resetting the plugin now keeps default source paths and extensions intact, only clears user configuration, logs, and schedule.<\/li>\n
                    • Guided setup flow<\/strong>: New hint text on Setup tab guides users through the configuration process.<\/li>\n
                    • Updated How-To guides<\/strong>: German and English documentation rewritten to match current UI and features.<\/li>\n
                    • Fixed<\/strong>: $log<\/code> \/ $source<\/code> \/ $s<\/code> variable reference bugs from prefix renaming.<\/li>\n
                    • Fixed<\/strong>: Sources tab fields (path, extensions) now save correctly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
