WordPress Full Backup (UpdraftPlus)

Starts a FULL BACKUP (files + database) of a connected WordPress site with UpdraftPlus, or reads its progress and result; a backup before a PHP upgrade, a WordPress core update or a batch of plugin updates allows a rollback. action: • start: schedules UpdraftPlus "Backup Now" in the background (plugins, themes, uploads, other files and the database by default; include_files / include_database narrow it). The backup is kept even if UpdraftPlus's retention rule would delete it. If a backup is already running it is not started twice. confirm=true required. • status — progress of the given backup_id (or the last one started here): running / finished, each component with its size, whether the set is complete, and the last log lines. Read-only. Backups stay on the site's own server (wp-content/updraft) unless UpdraftPlus remote storage is configured; downloading or sending them elsewhere is done in WordPress admin > Settings > UpdraftPlus Backups. Needs UpdraftPlus active and Connector 0.9.4 or newer.
