Backup ​

The Backup page in Titan Anti-Spam & Security lets you create and manage full backups of your WordPress site. You can access it by navigating to Titan Anti-Spam & Security → Backup in your WordPress dashboard.

Backup Settings ​

The Backup Settings section lets you configure how and when backups are created.

Backup Schedule ​

Choose how often to create automatic backups. The available options are:

  • Manually — Backups are only created when you click the Create New Backup button. No automatic backups are scheduled.
  • Every 2h — A new backup is automatically created every 2 hours.
  • Every 8h — A new backup is automatically created every 8 hours.
  • Daily — A new backup is automatically created once per day.

For most sites, a daily backup schedule offers a good balance between protection and server resource usage. High-traffic sites with frequent content changes may benefit from more frequent backups.

Remove Old Archives ​

Automatically remove backup archives older than 7 days. When turned on, the plugin cleans up outdated backups to prevent them from consuming excessive disk space on your server.

Backup Speed ​

Controls how much server resources the backup process uses. The available options are:

  • Slow — Uses fewer server resources, reducing the impact on site performance during backup. Recommended for shared hosting environments.
  • Fast — Uses more server resources to complete backups faster. Suitable for dedicated servers or VPS with sufficient resources.
  • Custom — Allows you to fine-tune the backup speed to match your server's capabilities.

Backup Storage ​

Choose where your backups are stored. The available options are:

  • Local — Backups will be stored on your server in the uploads directory. This is the default option and requires no additional configuration.
  • FTP — Store backups on a remote FTP server. Useful for keeping backups separate from your hosting server. You can connect easily with your FTP credentials.
  • Dropbox — Store backups in your Dropbox account for secure off-site storage.

Storing backups off-site (via FTP or Dropbox) is recommended as an extra layer of protection. If your server goes down, you'll still have access to your backup files.

Backups ​

This section displays a list of all existing backups. From here you can download, restore, or delete previous backups.

To create a new backup, click the Create New Backup button. The backup process may take a few minutes depending on the size of your site.

After adjusting any settings, click the Save Changes button at the top right to apply your configuration.
