## Descrición

Most backup failures are silent: the job stopped running weeks ago and nobody noticed.
Backup plugins grade themselves. BackupBeacon is the independent watchdog that does
not.

**How it works**

 1. Add each backup destination (UpdraftPlus to Drive, database dumps to S3, your host’s
    nightly snapshots) with a freshness limit in hours.
 2. Point your backup job at the token-authenticated ping endpoint: `POST /wp-json/
    backupbeacon/v1/ping/<destination-id>?token=...`. Every successful backup pings;
    the token is rotatable and pings are rate-bounded.
 3. BackupBeacon evaluates every destination hourly (WP-Cron): fresh, stale (past its
    limit), or silent (never recorded, or a clock-skewed future timestamp). Backdated
    recordings are refused.
 4. When a destination turns stale or silent, the site admin gets an email and a persistent
    admin notice – once per incident, not once per cron tick. A dashboard widget rolls
    every destination into one ALARM/OK beacon, and the event log records when each
    destination went stale and when it recovered.

No account, no external service, no per-site fees. Your backup jobs ping your own
site; the watchdog runs where the backups matter.

**Optional premium plans** unlock faster checks (15-minute cadence), more alert 
channels (Slack/Discord/webhook), escalation and maintenance windows, per-destination
alert routing, a status API, multisite and white-label agency tooling. Upgrades 
happen inside your dashboard – no reinstall, no license-key copying – and every 
feature you use today stays free forever.

**What it is not**: BackupBeacon does not make backups. It is the alarm for the 
tools that do.

## Preguntas frecuentes

### Which backup plugins does it work with?

Any of them. If your backup tool can run a curl command (or a WP-CLI line) after
it finishes, it can ping BackupBeacon. It is deliberately backup-plugin-agnostic.

### Does it need an external account?

No. Pings arrive at your own WordPress site and evaluation runs on WP-Cron. Nothing
leaves your server except the alert email to the admin.

### What happens if my backup job never pings?

That is the point. Silence past the freshness limit flips the destination to stale(
or silent if nothing was ever recorded) and the alarm fires.

## Rexistro de cambios

#### 3.6.6

 * Cloud email alerts (edge relay delivery) are now an Accelerator/Studio feature:
   the relay never sends on Free/Starter/Pro, relay controls are locked with an 
   upgrade link on lower tiers, and stored relay settings are preserved (never used)
   while unentitled.
