Changelog

3.3.3 — 2026-08-24

Package metadata only: the listing now carries an icon and search tags, and the project and repository links point at the organisation that actually hosts this code. No code changes.

3.3.2 — 2026-08-22

• Encrypting a backup no longer leaves the unencrypted copy next to it. The engine wrote the archive but kept the plain .json it had wrapped, so the content the key was meant to protect sat in the same folder in the clear.
• Compressing or encrypting also no longer leaves that .json behind as dead weight, which had doubled the disk every backup cost.
• One backup now lists as one row. The list enumerated files rather than backups, so a compressed or encrypted backup appeared twice under the same name with two different sizes.
• Deleting a backup removes every file belonging to it. It removed only the first match, so a backup with a leftover file stayed in the list and appeared to survive being deleted.

3.3.1 — 2026-08-21

• The dashboard can now take a backup. It previously made no requests at all — it showed a hardcoded "Active" badge and a Save button that set a flag for three seconds and wrote nothing — while the API underneath supported all of this the whole time.
• Choose what to include (content, media, database), whether to compress, whether to encrypt and with which key, which cloud providers to copy to, and whether to keep a local copy.
• Restore from any listed backup, choosing scope, whether to overwrite existing items, and supplying the decryption key when the archive is encrypted.
• Delete backups, and test a cloud provider's credentials before relying on it.
• Four endpoints moved: CreateAdvanced, Restore, GetCloudProviders and TestProvider had action-level route templates that appended to the controller prefix, so they lived at URLs like /umbraco/api/backups/GetCloudProviders/providers. They now sit at /umbraco/api/backups/<Action> with the rest. No shipped UI called them, so nothing that worked before stops working.
