SleekView for WP Time Capsule: incremental backups & restores as tables
WP Time Capsule writes every incremental backup event, file change, and restore action to its wptc_ custom tables. SleekView reads them directly so the audit trail behind incremental backups becomes a sortable workspace instead of a hidden plugin log.

Incremental backups deserve a real audit trail
WP Time Capsule's incremental approach changes the backup question. Where most plugins write a single full archive per run, Time Capsule tracks every file and database change as a separate event, with cloud-side deduplication keeping storage costs predictable. Those events live in dedicated tables (wptc_processed_files, wptc_processed_dbtables, wptc_backup_history) which is what makes the incremental model work efficiently at the storage layer.
SleekView reads those tables directly. The processed-files view surfaces every file change captured by the most recent backup run, with filename, byte delta, and content hash visible as columns. The processed-dbtables view does the same for database rows. The backup-history view ties both together with run timestamp, total event count, and the linked remote destination.
For agencies running Time Capsule across many client sites, that audit trail becomes the missing portfolio dashboard. Confirm every site has a recent successful run, audit the file-change volume to spot suspicious activity, and verify cloud-side dedup is actually saving the storage the plugin promises.

Comparison
Default WP Time Capsule admin vs SleekView
Default WP Time Capsule admin
- Incremental run history shows as a graph, not a sortable list
- File-change events aren't queryable in the default UI
- Database-change events live in a separate tab
- Bandwidth and dedup metrics need clicking individual runs
- Anomaly detection across runs isn't built in

Features
What SleekView gives you for WP Time Capsule
Per-change audit
Every file and database row change captured by Time Capsule's incremental engine becomes a queryable row. Useful for compliance audits and security investigations.
Anomaly detection
Sort the runs view by file-change count descending. Sudden spikes (a backup that touched ten thousand files on a quiet site) are often the first sign of compromise or runaway plugin code.
Dedup metrics
Surface bytes uploaded vs bytes deduplicated as columns. Confirm the storage savings Time Capsule advertises are actually realised on each install.
Audience
Who uses SleekView for WP Time Capsule
Security teams
Use file-change audit trails to investigate suspected compromises, with every modified file across the last thirty days visible as sortable rows with byte-delta and hash.
Backup ops
Nightly portfolio review confirming every Time Capsule install has a recent run, with file-change counts and bytes uploaded visible for anomaly detection.
DevOps
Investigate which runs touched configuration files (wp-config.php, .htaccess) by filtering the processed-files view on filename patterns.
The bigger picture
Why incremental backups need their own audit surface
Incremental backups change the storage math, but they also change the audit math in the opposite direction. A traditional full-backup plugin produces one event per run, easy to read in a list. An incremental plugin produces thousands of events per run, distributed across file and database change tables, which means the audit trail is richer but only useful if it's queryable.
WP Time Capsule's wptc_ tables are well-designed for that audit but the default plugin UI surfaces them through summary graphs rather than sortable rows. SleekView reads the tables directly with their indexes intact, which makes per-file change investigations viable across thirty days of incremental history. Security teams gain a forensic surface for investigating compromises.
Backup ops gain anomaly detection across the portfolio. Finance gains real dedup-savings numbers to defend the plugin spend. Each of those uses depends on the audit being queryable rather than aggregated, which the underlying tables already support.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView for WP Time Capsule
Yes. wptc_processed_files stores filename, byte delta, and content hash for every change captured by the incremental engine. SleekView surfaces those as columns and supports filename-pattern filtering.
Yes. The wptc_processed_dbtables table tracks which database tables had row changes per run, with row counts. SleekView joins it to the backup-history view for unified audits.
Yes. Restore actions are logged in wptc_restore_history with timestamp, scope, and outcome. SleekView reads it as a separate audit view so restore history sits alongside backup runs.
Yes for capability-gated users. Time Capsule exposes a programmatic backup-start endpoint that SleekView calls on row actions, with the same post-backup hooks firing as in the plugin UI.
 Yes. Time Capsule supports Google Drive, Amazon S3, and Wasabi destinations, each stored with its own configuration. SleekView surfaces destination type and last-authenticated timestamp as columns.
 
Yes. Reads are non-destructive and capability-gated. The wptc_ tables are append-only from the plugin's perspective, so SleekView never rewrites historical events.
Yes. Bytes uploaded vs bytes captured live as columns in the backup-history table, making the actual storage-savings ratio visible per run. Useful for justifying the plugin spend during budget reviews.
 Yes. Runs with zero file changes are usually skips; runs with partial completion flags appear as such in the status column. Filter to either to triage scheduling or upload issues.
