Features

Full-screen pre-update / pre-uninstall backup — before a core Joomla update, an extension update, or an extension uninstall, MokoSuiteBackup runs a stepped, full-page backup with a real progress bar (Akeeba-style), then automatically continues the original action. Fires once per Update action for every extension, super-user only, and gated by the backup_before_update / backup_before_uninstall options.
Content snapshot transfer & master→slave injection — export a content snapshot as a portable .msbsnap file (zip of manifest.json + snapshot.json with a SHA-256 integrity check), import one on another site, or push one directly into a slave site via the injection API. Conflict modes: overwrite, create, and duplicate (remapped IDs).
Remote retention pruning — when a backup is pruned by age or count, its archive is also deleted from every enabled remote destination (SFTP / FTP / S3 / Google Drive), not just the local copy.
Remote storage — upload archives to SFTP, FTP, Amazon S3, and Google Drive, configured per destination, with an optional "keep local copy" per destination.
Encryption — protect backup archives.
Differential backups — capture only what changed since a prior backup.
REST API — manage backups, profiles, downloads, deletion, and snapshot injection over Joomla Web Services.
Scheduled tasks — run backup profiles and snapshots on a schedule through Joomla's Scheduled Tasks (com_scheduler).
CLI — native joomla mokosuitebackup:* console commands plus a standalone cron script.
Restore options — no restore script, a wrapped restore, or a standalone restore.php generated alongside the archive.
Data sanitization — optionally sanitize passwords, emails, and sessions in the database dump.
Notifications — email and ntfy notifications on success and/or failure.
Web-cron support — trigger backups via a secret-protected URL with optional IP whitelisting.
