BTFU — Back The Files Up
Copyright © 2026 John Kirker Inc. All rights reserved.

================================================================================
IMPORTANT — READ BEFORE USING. THIS SOFTWARE IS DESTRUCTIVE BY DESIGN.
================================================================================

BTFU creates, overwrites, and DELETES files and database tables. Restoring a
snapshot REPLACES the live site's files and database with an earlier state:
current data, files, users, and settings can be permanently and irreversibly
lost. Snapshots contain a full copy of your files and database, including
wp-config.php and its secrets.

USE WITH CAUTION. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. USE AT YOUR OWN PERIL.

It works great for the author. It may work for you. It may also break your
site, corrupt your data, expose secrets, fill your disk, or destroy things you
care about. This is a development tool and is not intended for production use.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Keep independent, off-site backups. Do not rely on this tool as your only
  backup, and verify you can restore them without it.
- Do not run this on a production site.
- Test restores on a disposable environment before you need one.
- Protect the snapshot store and any generated rescue scripts; they contain
  your secrets and can overwrite your entire site.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the
limitation of certain liabilities, so some of the above may not apply to you;
in that case those exclusions and limitations apply to the fullest extent
permitted by law.
