BountySite

BountySite plugin allows BountySite users to manage their backups from within wordpress. This is done by making REST API to BountySite Backup API. Before using plugin, API ACLs(whitelisting of IPs) have to configured on BountySite control panel for security purposes. The plugin is useful post configuring backups on BountySite control panel.
