Secure Backups

Version 1.0.2

August 16, 2026

Now uses the Craft License, matching the Plugin Store listing. Terms are unchanged in substance: the plugin remains commercial and licensed per production installation.
Backups created by any version stay recoverable with standard openssl and gzip commands, with no Craft and no copy of the plugin. See the README.

New plugin icon, following the Plugin Store convention of a solid tile with a white glyph.
The README no longer names a price. The Plugin Store listing is the source of truth for that.

Initial release.
Encrypts every database backup Craft creates: the Control Panel utility, craft db/backup, and the automatic backups taken before migrations.
Decrypts automatically on craft db/restore, as a pipe, so the plaintext is never written to disk.
Gzips each backup before encrypting it, typically making it several times smaller. Compressing after encryption saves nothing, so the order is what matters. Controlled by the compress setting and safe to change at any time.
Prompts before restoring an unencrypted backup, and refuses when the session is not interactive.
Deletes the plaintext dump and fails loudly when a backup cannot be encrypted.
Supports Craft 4.3.5 and later as well as Craft 5, from a single release.
