Added: Every scheduled backup now shows a ready-to-paste cron line. If you have SSH access to your server, you can run any backup schedule straight from your server’s crontab — no PHP timeouts to worry about.
Added: A new WP-CLI flag, wp backupease run –schedule=<id>, runs any saved schedule from the command line.
Improved: Smarter auto-detection of leftover folders from other backup and migration plugins (UpdraftPlus, Duplicator, BlogVault, WP Time Capsule, WPvivid, All-in-One WP Migration). They show up pre-excluded in your exclusions list so they don’t bloat your backups — un-check any of them if you want a fully comprehensive backup.
Improved: Friendlier wording when WP-CLI isn’t installed. Backups still run reliably in pure PHP — that’s a normal, supported setup, not a fallback.
Improved: The “How to enable WP-CLI” guide is tucked into an “Advanced” section so it stays out of the way until you need it.
Updated: Translations template.
2.0.0
Redesign release: Brand-new dark-theme admin UI with the “moss” accent palette across the Dashboard, Manual Backup, Scheduled Backups, Backup Log, License, and Settings tabs.
Fixed: Exclusions not showing on Scheduled Backups.
Fixed: Google Drive integration using saved settings value instead of current input.
Added: Dedicated Backup Log screen separated from the dashboard, with its own paginated table view.
Added: New License tab introducing the BackupEase Pro upgrade path.
Improved: More accurate server-capability detection: ServerCapabilities now explicitly checks PHP exec() availability and reports whether WP-CLI wp db export can run, falling back to PHP chunked mode automatically when it cannot.
Improved: More reliable WP-CLI detection using a recheck transient so capability changes on the host are picked up without manual reactivation.
