QuantaCade Joomla Extension

QC Backup Manager

Protect Joomla sites, recover with confidence, and keep storage under control.

Create manual and scheduled Joomla backups, manage reusable backup profiles, export verified Recovery Packages off-site, recover complete sites with a guided standalone runner, free local disk space with File Valet, and automatically collect Max-level backups to a Windows PC, external drive, or NAS with QCBM Receiver.

What it does

QC Backup Manager helps Joomla site administrators create dependable backups and recover complete sites without working through a complicated server-level process. Run full-site, database-only, or files-only backups, manage reusable profiles, review backup history and health, export verified Recovery Packages off-site, download recovery-ready packages, and restore a site through the guided standalone Recovery Runner.

Max licenses add the complete File Valet workflow, Reports and CSV exports, multiple off-site destinations, and QCBM Receiver. QCBM Receiver is the QuantaCade Windows companion that connects directly to the Joomla site over HTTPS and automatically collects verified Recovery Packages to a Windows PC, external drive, or network/NAS location. Interrupted Receiver downloads can resume, Joomla Super User credentials are not stored in the Receiver, and the optional hosting-copy deletion occurs only after the downloaded Recovery Package has been successfully verified. Backup files travel directly between the Joomla site and the customer's Receiver computer rather than being routed through QuantaCade.
