## Description

ZATA S3 Backup allows you to create secure backups of your site database, themes,
and plugins and store them in ZATA Object Storage or any S3-compatible storage provider.

The plugin is designed to be lightweight, transparent, and easy to use, without 
relying on external SaaS services.

#### Features

 * Database backup
 * Themes backup
 * Plugins backup
 * Support for ZATA Object Storage (default)
 * Support for S3-compatible providers
 * Manual and scheduled backups
 * Email notifications
 * Retention policy
 * Logs and history
 * No data tracking or telemetry

### Configuration

You will need:
 * Bucket name * Access Key * Secret Key * Endpoint URL (for S3-compatible
providers)

ZATA storage is selected by default.

### External services

This plugin can connect to an external S3-compatible object storage service in order
to upload your backup archives (database export and optional theme/plugin archives).

Service used:
 – An S3-compatible object storage endpoint configured by the site
administrator. – By default, the plugin is pre-filled for ZATA (S3-compatible storage).
The administrator can change the endpoint to another provider.

What data is sent and when:
 – When you click “Test Connection”, the plugin performs
a read/write/delete test object in the configured bucket. – When you run a backup(
manual or scheduled), the plugin uploads the generated backup archive files to the
configured bucket.

Data transmitted to the storage service:
 – Bucket name, object key/path prefix,
file contents of the backup archives. – Request metadata required by the S3 API (
timestamps, content hash) and an authorization signature (AWS Signature Version 
4). – Your secret key is used locally to create the request signature and is not
sent as plain text.

Conditions:
 – Transfers occur only if remote storage is configured and you initiate
a test/backup (or enable scheduling). – You can disable remote uploads by clearing
the endpoint/bucket/keys.

Terms and privacy:
 – If you use ZATA, please review the service terms and privacy
policy: – Terms: https://zata.ai/zataprivacypolicies.pdf – Privacy: https://zata.
ai/zataprivacypolicies.pdf – If you use another S3-compatible provider, refer to
that provider’s terms and privacy policy.
