Gutenback

Scheduled database and file backups, sent to your own Google Drive. No third-party backup service, no middleman.

Gutenback backs up your WordPress database and files on a schedule (or on demand) and uploads the result straight to a folder in your own Google Drive — no third-party backup service, no middleman.


Why it exists

Backups without the middleman.

Scheduled database and file backups that upload straight to your own Google Drive — no third-party backup service holding your data.

Core capabilities

Everything needed.
Nothing in the way.

01

Scheduled backups

Back up on a recurring schedule or on demand, with pause/resume that keeps every setting intact.

02

Your own Google Drive

Every backup uploads to a folder in your own Google Drive account — no third-party backup service, no middleman.

03

Database and files, pure PHP

Dumps the database and files without shell access, exec(), or mysqldump, so it works on ordinary shared hosting.

04

Optional AES-256 encryption

Protect a backup with a password before it ever leaves the site.

05

Configurable retention

Keep as many backups as you want and let older ones roll off automatically.

06

Restore, or migrate a site

Restore any backup in place, or upload a Guten Back .zip from elsewhere to move a site to a new host.

Compatibility

Built for modern WordPress.

Lean enough for shared hosting. Familiar enough for any WordPress team.
