What is MokoSuiteBackup?
MokoSuiteBackup is a comprehensive backup and restore solution for Joomla 6 (Joomla 4/5 supported), built as a complete replacement for Akeeba Backup Pro. It provides full-site backups (database + files), multiple backup profiles, scheduled tasks, remote storage (FTP, Google Drive, S3), AES-256 encryption, content snapshots, automatic backup-before-update protection, and a standalone restore script.
Key Features
- Full, database-only, files-only, and differential backup types
- Multiple backup profiles with independent settings
- Backup before update & uninstall — a full-screen backup fronts Joomla core updates and any extension update or uninstall, so you always have a fresh restore point without white-screening large sites. An opt-in auto-continue checkbox (on by default) hands back to the update the moment the backup finishes; a prominent “do not close or switch windows” warning and a full-screen “update is running” overlay guard the process; and you can Cancel at any time (double-confirmed). If the pre-update backup fails, the update is blocked — you retry the backup or go back without updating
- Content snapshots & transfer — capture articles, categories and modules and move them between sites as a portable
.msbsnapfile, or push them master→slave directly via the injection API - Joomla Scheduled Tasks integration plus web-cron for automated backups
- Remote storage: FTP/FTPS, Google Drive, Amazon S3 (+ Wasabi, B2, MinIO), with retention that prunes remote copies too
- AES-256 archive encryption for GDPR compliance
- MokoRestore standalone restore script for bare-server restores
- SHA-256 integrity verification
- Email and ntfy notifications on success, warning and failure
- REST API compatible with the MokoSuiteBackup MCP server
- AJAX step-based engine for shared hosting
- One-click Akeeba Backup Pro migration and JPA archive import
- Admin dashboard status widget
