Backup plugins grade themselves. BackupBeacon is the independent watchdog that does not. **How it works** 1. Add each backup destination (UpdraftPlus to Drive, database dumps to S3, your host’s nightly snapshots) with a freshness limit in hours. 2. Point your backup job at the token-authenticated ping endpoint: `POST /wp-json/ backupbeacon/v1/ping/?token=...`. Every successful backup pings; the token is rotatable and pings are rate-bounded. 3. BackupBeacon evaluates every destination hourly (WP-Cron): fresh, stale (past its limit), or silent (never recorded, or a clock-skewed future timestamp). Backdated recordings are refused. 4. When a destination turns stale or silent, the site admin gets an email and a persistent admin notice – once per incident, not once per cron tick. A dashboard widget rolls every destination into one ALARM/OK beacon, and the event log records when each destination went stale and when it recovered. No account, no external service, no per-site fees. Your backup jobs ping your own site; the watchdog runs where the backups matter. **Optional premium plans** unlock faster checks (15-minute cadence), more alert channels (Slack/Discord/webhook), escalation and maintenance windows, per-destination alert routing, a status API, multisite and white-label agency tooling. Upgrades happen inside your dashboard – no reinstall, no license-key copying – and every feature you use today stays free forever. **What it is not**: BackupBeacon does not make backups. It is the alarm for the tools that do. ## Capturas [⌊The BackupBeacon dashboard: every destination rolled into one ALARM/OK beacon, with per-destination freshness state.⌉⌊The BackupBeacon dashboard: every destination rolled into one ALARM/OK beacon, with per-destination freshness state.⌉[ The BackupBeacon dashboard: every destination rolled into one ALARM/OK beacon, with per-destination freshness state.

Any of them. If your backup tool can run a curl command (or a WP-CLI line) after it finishes, it can ping BackupBeacon. It is deliberately backup-plugin-agnostic. ### Does it need an external account? No. Pings arrive at your own WordPress site and evaluation runs on WP-Cron. Nothing leaves your server except the alert email to the admin. ### What happens if my backup job never pings? That is the point. Silence past the freshness limit flips the destination to stale( or silent if nothing was ever recorded) and the alarm fires. ## Reseñas There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Colaboradores y desarrolladores “BackupBeacon” es un software de código abierto.
