When the release is live

Review Health

Before public submission
What is being tested now
Backup software earns trust through recovery tests, not only successful ZIP creation.
- Different PHP 8.x versions and database SQL modes
- Apache, Nginx, LiteSpeed, Windows, shared, and restricted hosting
- Large sites, constrained request limits, and slow filesystems
- Interrupted backup, restore, rollback, import, and transfer jobs
- Google Drive uploads and scheduled backup behavior
No release-date shortcut
Packaging waits until the core workflows have been tested intensively across several hosting environments.
Useful testers are welcome
If you manage a disposable WordPress test site on an unusual host, your backup and restore results can improve portability.
