Site Backup & Migration<\/strong> is a lightweight, free WordPress backup and restore plugin<\/strong> for backing up your site and moving it to a new host or domain. Large backup files can be imported without paid add-ons.<\/p>\n\n Most hosts limit uploads to 2\u201364 MB, which blocks importing a large backup. This plugin uploads archives in small adaptive chunks<\/strong>, so a 500 MB or 2 GB backup imports even when the host only allows 2 MB uploads. You don't need to edit This plugin connects to external services only<\/strong> when you connect a cloud destination in Site Backup \u2192 Cloud storage<\/strong>. Nothing is sent before you connect an account.<\/p>\n\n Google Drive (Google LLC)<\/strong> \u2013 used to store copies of your backup archives in your own Google Drive.\n* When you click Connect, you are sent to Google to sign in and approve access ( Dropbox (Dropbox, Inc.)<\/strong> \u2013 used to store copies of your backup archives in your own Dropbox.\n* When you click Connect, you are sent to Create a full backup on the old site and download it. Install WordPress and this plugin on the new site, upload the archive in Site Backup<\/strong>, then click Restore<\/strong>. URLs are replaced automatically.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. The archive is sent in small chunks that each fit under the limit. If the server rejects a chunk (HTTP 413) or times out, the plugin automatically retries with a smaller chunk.<\/p><\/dd>\n The upload itself has no plugin limit. The practical limit is your disk space, and archives over 2 GB need 64-bit PHP.<\/p><\/dd>\n The database is imported into temporary tables and swapped in only when the import succeeds. A failed database restore leaves your live tables untouched.<\/p><\/dd>\n A content backup includes the database and the uploads folder, which suits moving content or shipping a demo. A full backup also includes plugins and themes, for a complete site clone.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Back up the local site, then upload and restore it on the live site. Local URLs are replaced with the live URL.<\/p><\/dd>\n In No. ZipArchive is used when available because it is faster. Otherwise the plugin falls back to PclZip, which ships with WordPress.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. In Site Backup \u2192 Backup schedule<\/strong>, choose twice daily, daily, weekly or monthly, a start time, the backup type and how many scheduled archives to keep. Older scheduled archives are deleted automatically. Manual backups are never removed. Scheduled backups use WP-Cron. If your host disables WP-Cron, add a server cron job that calls Yes. In Site Backup \u2192 Cloud storage<\/strong>, add your own free Google or Dropbox app credentials, click Connect<\/strong> and approve access. Every new backup (manual and scheduled) is then uploaded automatically using resumable chunked uploads, so large archives work on slow or limited hosting. You can also delete the local copy after a successful upload to save disk space.<\/p><\/dd>\n Your access tokens stay on your own site, and nothing passes through a third-party relay server. Creating an app is free and takes a few minutes. Copy the redirect URI shown in the plugin into the app's settings.<\/p><\/dd>\n In Cloud storage<\/strong>, click Show cloud backups<\/strong>, then Download & restore<\/strong> next to the archive. The plugin pulls it back to your server in resumable chunks and starts the restore. It works on a fresh WordPress install too: install the plugin, connect the same account, and restore.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Set Keep the last N backups in each cloud account<\/strong>. After each successful upload, older archives of this site are deleted from Google Drive \/ Dropbox. Archives from other sites in the same account are never touched.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\nphp.ini<\/code> or .htaccess<\/code>, or buy an \"unlimited\" extension.<\/p>\n\nWhy choose Site Backup & Migration?<\/h4>\n\n
