📦 Wordpress Backuper

Wordpress-Backuper is a shell script by Max Base designed to create structured, compressed backups of a WordPress site-specifically focusing on core files, wp-content, and uploads by year.

---

✅ Features

• Zips the root directory (excluding .zip, .gz, .sql, etc.)
• Separately zips wp-content (excluding uploads)
• Scans uploads/ for folders like 2020, 2021, etc., and zips each one independently
• Generates an others.zip for non-year subdirectories in uploads
• Logs all actions to zip_process.log
• Supports dry-run and verbose modes
• Safe: skips zip files that already exist

---

🧰 Requirements

• zip
• find
• Bash (Linux/macOS)

Install missing dependencies (Debian-based example):

sudo apt install zip findutils
