How Does Yedekalma Work? Automated Backup in 4 Steps
After signing up, your first backup starts in under 5 minutes, and you never share FTP or database passwords.
No credit card required
In Short: How is it set up?
You upload the PHP Backup Module generated for your site to its root directory and press “Verify” in the panel to connect the site. Then you connect your storage target and choose a backup frequency for each component; backups start automatically and each one is verified.
- No FTP, database or hosting panel passwords are shared.
- Frequency: monthly, weekly, daily, hourly or every 15 minutes.
- A failed backup is retried within 4 hours.
- Restores use a 3-step wizard: full or partial.

How to Set Up Automatic Backup in 4 Steps
Once you've signed up, it takes less than 5 minutes to start taking backups. Here's the whole process:
Add a Domain
Upload the PHP Backup Module to the root directory and click Verify in the panel to connect the domain; there's no need to share FTP or database details.
Connect Your Cloud
OAuth for Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive and Yandex.Disk; your own keys for Amazon S3 and S3-compatible storage, or your own server.
Choose the Frequency
Monthly, weekly, daily, hourly or every 15 minutes. Choose the frequency and time separately for each component; a failed backup is retried within 4 hours.
Back Up, Monitor & Restore
Backups start automatically and you can follow progress live. If something goes wrong, restore fully or partially with the wizard.
