Four backup tools, plus the automated daily backup mu-plugin that ships with Cowork Bridge.
Tools
- wp_backup — full snapshot covering 12 content types (posts, pages, media, categories, tags, comments, menus, users, settings, WC products, WC orders, SEO metadata). Returns a snapshot ID.
- wp_list_backups — lists snapshots in date order with size and content-type summary.
- wp_restore — replays a snapshot. Takes a fresh pre-restore backup first. Can be scoped to specific content types (“restore only products + orders”).
- wp_delete_backup — remove an old snapshot manually.
Where backups live
On your own server, in a folder protected by .htaccess. Not on our servers, not in a third-party cloud. You can verify this by SFTP-ing in and looking under wp-content/wpfc-backups/.
Automatic retention
7 daily, 4 weekly, 12 monthly snapshots are kept automatically. Older ones auto-prune to keep disk usage bounded.
Pre-flight prompt
On the first destructive action of a Cowork session, Claude asks if you want a backup first. Say yes once and you’re covered for the rest of the session.
See /wp-backup and /wp-restore for the slash-command flow.
