Vanguard Smart Incremental Backups for Google Drive

Vanguard Smart Backups uses an advanced incremental engine. Instead of creating a full ZIP every time (which kills server resources), it identifies only the files that changed and syncs them to your cloud.

Features

• Smart Engine: Automatically detects changes and schedules backups.
• Massive Scalability: New streaming engine handles multi-GB databases and files with minimal RAM.
• Incremental Backups: Saves storage and bandwidth by only uploading what’s new.
• One-Click Restore: Specialized recovery wizard that handles large databases and files in chunks.
• Security First: Fully compliant with WordPress.org security standards and SQL injection protection.
• Retention Policy: Automatically manage your Google Drive storage by quantity or time.
