It connects WordPress to Mozzy, reports website health and software inventory, monitors supported application errors, and tracks backup and maintenance activity. Mozzy can create a verified WordPress backup before selected plugin, theme, or core updates, apply those updates one at a time, and check the database, required files, installed versions, and inventory afterward. If a Mozzy-authorized protected update needs recovery, the verified pre-update archive can be used for automatic rollback. Normal WordPress automatic updates are not intercepted. Backups are built on your website and kept in protected local storage. Optional off-site destinations include Google Drive backup, Backblaze B2, Amazon S3, Cloudflare R2, Wasabi, DigitalOcean Spaces, and other S3-compatible storage. Archives and destination credentials go directly between WordPress and your provider; they do not pass through Mozzy. Optional encrypted backups use a recovery key held by the WordPress site. A Mozzy account is required for connected WordPress health monitoring and remote maintenance. Local backup, protected-update, and guided website recovery controls remain in WordPress. Mozzy follows a practical workflow: **Monitor -> Backup -> Update -> Verify -> Rollback**. #### Monitor Your WordPress Website After connection, the plugin sends a health heartbeat every five minutes and software inventory twice daily. It provides a public endpoint that checks the connector and database, and reports versions, available updates, fatal PHP and database errors, failed email, and supported Action Scheduler failures. This focused WordPress health monitoring supports practical website monitoring and maintenance decisions. #### Back Up Before Changes Create manual or scheduled database and file backups using full, essential, or custom scopes. Every verified archive starts in protected local storage and can upload directly to Google Drive, Backblaze B2, or S3-compatible storage. Local schedules are daily or weekly; Mozzy-managed policies can also run monthly or quarterly and provide WordPress backup monitoring in Mozzy. Optional encryption creates authenticated XChaCha20-Poly1305 MZB archives when PHP sodium is available. Recovery keys stay in WordPress and can be exported for offline storage. #### Protected WordPress Updates For safe WordPress updates, select pending plugin, theme, or core versions. Mozzy Assistance first verifies a new full safety backup and every connected remote upload, then applies approved versions one at a time. Maintenance Autopilot lets an authorized Mozzy user approve exact versions; it does not provide a remote shell or arbitrary file editor. #### Verify After Updating Mozzy Assistance confirms installed versions, checks database access and required WordPress files, and refreshes inventory. These are focused workflow checks, not a general security, SEO, performance, or visual regression scan. #### Automatic Rollback and Recovery If verification fails during Mozzy-managed maintenance, Mozzy can request WordPress rollback using the exact verified pre-update archive. WordPress validates it and creates a failed-state safety backup first. Administrators can also confirm a guided restore of a verified same-site local or recovered remote archive. Restores run in background batches and finish with database and filesystem checks. #### WordPress Maintenance From Mozzy WordPress performs the backup, update, verification, and recovery work. Mozzy receives health, inventory, and supported maintenance status so an authorized user can monitor the site and approve limited commands. Nothing is sent until an administrator connects the site or saves a connector token. The connection can be paused or disconnected. ### External services #### Mozzy After administrator connection, the plugin contacts https://mozzy.au to provide monitoring, inventory, managed backup status, and maintenance progress. Authenticated responses can include backup policies/requests, inventory requests, exact-version maintenance, or rollback commands. Mozzy does not receive archives, destination credentials, or recovery keys. Privacy: https://mozzy.au/privacy Terms: https://mozzy.au/terms #### Google Drive After an administrator saves OAuth credentials and connects Drive, the plugin uses` accounts.google.com`, `oauth2.googleapis.com`, and `www.googleapis.com`. OAuth data, tokens, archives, filenames, sizes, checksums, and folder metadata go directly to Google as needed to store, list, download, and delete plugin-created backups. Privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy Terms: https://policies.google.com/ terms #### Backblaze B2 and S3-compatible storage After an administrator saves an HTTPS endpoint and credentials, the plugin sends signed S3 requests, the access-key identifier, archives, filenames, sizes, checksums, and storage metadata directly to that provider. The secret is stored encrypted in WordPress and used locally to sign requests. No provider is contacted merely by activating the plugin or viewing settings. Provider policies: [Backblaze privacy](https://www.backblaze.com/company/policy/privacy) and [terms](https://www.backblaze.com/company/policy/terms-of-service); [AWS privacy](https://aws.amazon.com/privacy/) and [terms](https://aws.amazon.com/service-terms/); [Cloudflare privacy](https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/) and [terms](https://www.cloudflare.com/terms/); [Wasabi privacy](https://wasabi.com/legal/privacy-policy) and [terms](https://wasabi.com/legal/terms-of-use); [DigitalOcean privacy](https://www.digitalocean.com/legal/privacy-policy) and [terms](https://www.digitalocean.com/legal/terms-of-service-agreement). ### Privacy When connected, data sent to Mozzy can include health heartbeats; WordPress/PHP versions; theme and plugin names, slugs, versions, active state, and available versions; fatal error messages, file locations, line numbers, and affected URL; database errors; managed backup state, progress, filename, size, purpose, destinations, and errors; maintenance identifiers, progress, results, and backup filenames; failed email; and supported scheduled-task failures. Mozzy does not intentionally receive passwords, cookies, form contents, database records, WordPress users, visitor IPs, backup archives, storage credentials, or recovery keys. Review https://mozzy.au/privacy and https://mozzy.au/terms before connecting. ## Installation 1. In WordPress, go to Plugins > Add New. 2. Search for Mozzy Assistance. 3. Install and activate the plugin. 4. Open Mozzy Assistance > Overview and select Connect to Mozzy. 5. Sign in, choose or create a Mozzy project, and approve the website. 6. Return to WordPress and confirm the connection test passes. The normal connection exchanges a short-lived authorization code directly for a connector token; the permanent token is never placed in a browser URL. An administrator can instead paste a connector token created in Mozzy. Backup destinations are optional under Mozzy Assistance > Backups. Google Drive requires your own Google OAuth web-application credentials and the displayed redirect URI. Object storage requires provider-supplied endpoint, region, bucket, and restricted credentials. ## FAQ ### What is Mozzy Assistance? A WordPress monitoring and maintenance plugin with local backup, protected update, verification, rollback, recovery, and restore workflows. ### Does Mozzy Assistance monitor my WordPress website? Yes. Once connected, it sends health heartbeats and inventory and reports supported fatal PHP, database, email, and scheduled-task errors. It is not a general security or performance scanner. ### Does Mozzy monitor WordPress site health? Within a defined scope. Its public endpoint checks the enabled connector and database. Protected updates and restores also check the database and required files. It does not replace WordPress Site Health. ### Can Mozzy back up WordPress? Yes. It builds ZIP or optionally encrypted MZB archives from the database and selected site files. Backups can run manually, by schedule, before protected changes, or through a Mozzy-managed policy. ### Can I back up WordPress to Google Drive? Yes. Supply your own Google OAuth credentials and choose a folder. The plugin uses Google’s `drive.file` permission for files it creates or you open with the app. ### Does Mozzy support Backblaze B2? Yes, through Backblaze’s S3-compatible API. Enter its regional HTTPS endpoint, bucket, region, and a suitably restricted application key. ### Does Mozzy support S3-compatible storage? Yes. Configure Amazon S3, Cloudflare R2, Wasabi, DigitalOcean Spaces, or another HTTPS provider compatible with AWS Signature Version 4. ### What happens before Mozzy updates WordPress software? The plugin creates and verifies a new full backup, requires connected remote uploads to succeed, and rechecks each approved version before applying updates one at a time. ### How does Mozzy verify an update? It confirms installed versions, tests the database, checks required core files, and refreshes inventory. It does not visually test every page. ### Can Mozzy roll back a failed WordPress update? Mozzy-managed maintenance can request automatic rollback to its verified pre-update archive. For administrator-run protected updates, the archive is retained for an administrator-started restore. ### Is Mozzy Assistance a standalone plugin? Local backup, protected updates, and guided restore run in WordPress. Connected monitoring, managed policies, remote approvals, and automatic rollback commands use Mozzy. ### Do I need a Mozzy account? Yes for monitoring and Mozzy-managed maintenance. No active Mozzy connection is needed for local backup and administrator-controlled restore tools. ### Where are my backups stored? New backups start under the uploads directory in `mozzy-assistance/backups`, with supplied rules blocking direct web access where supported. Optional copies go directly to your configured provider. Retention can remove older copies. ### Are backups encrypted? Optionally. New MZB archives use authenticated XChaCha20-Poly1305 chunks when PHP sodium is available. Mozzy never receives recovery keys, so keep exported keys safe. ### What information does Mozzy send to its service? After connection: health, software inventory and update availability, supported error details, managed backup status and metadata, and maintenance progress/results. See Privacy for the complete summary. ### Does Mozzy modify WordPress core? It does not patch core or intercept normal automatic updates. For an explicitly approved core update, it uses WordPress’s upgrader after a verified backup. A confirmed restore can replace files while preserving `wp-config.php` and the active recovery component. ### How do I disconnect Mozzy? Use Disconnect under Mozzy Assistance > Overview to remove local Mozzy credentials, or pause without removing them. Deactivation stops scheduled events; uninstall removes options and protected local backups. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Mozzy Assistance” is open source software.
