Backup Migrate Restore

== Description ==

Creating a backup of your site has never been easier!

Simply install the plugin, click on "Create backup now" - done.

**Try it out on your free dummy site: Click here => [https://tastewp.com/plugins/backup-backup](https://tastewp.com/plugins/backup-backup?redirect-menu=backup-migration)**.

You can also schedule backups, e.g. define that a backup should be taken automatically every week (or every day/month).

Use a wide choice of configuration options:

- Define exactly which files / databases should be in the backup, which not
- Define where the backup will be stored (as of now, only local option is available, but we'll expand this soon)
- Define what name your backup should have, in which instances you should receive a notification email, and much more

This plugin is also ideal if you want to migrate your site to another host.

Note: This (free) version is limited to backups of 2GB in size. For unlimited sizes, please have a look at the [Premium Plugin](https://backupbliss.com).

If any questions come up, please ask us in the [Support Forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/backup-backup) - we're always happy to help!

This plugin is part of the Inisev product family - [check out our other products](https://inisev.com).

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How do I create my first backup? =

Click on “Create backup now” on the settings page of the Backup Migration plugin.

Backup Migration will by default create a backup that contains everything from your site, except the Backup Migration plugin’s own backups and WordPress installation - if you want to include the WordPress installation as well, tick the checkbox in the section “What will be backed up?”.

You can download backup or migrate your backup (use the plugin as a WordPress duplicator) immediately after the backup has been created.

= How do I restore a backup? =

- If your backup is **located on your site**: Go to the Backup Migration plugin screen, then to the Manage & Restore Backup(s) tab where you have your backups list, click on the Restore button next to the backup you would like to restore.

- If your backup is **located on another site**: Go to the Backup Migration plugin screen on site #1, then to the Manage & Restore Backup(s) tab where you have the backups list, click on the “Copy Link”-button in the “Actions”-column. Go to the Backup Migration plugin screen on site #2, then to the Manage & Restore Backup(s) tab, click on “Super-quick migration”, paste the copied link, and hit the “Restore now!” button. This process will first import backup then restore it, i.e. Backup Migrate also serves as backup importer.

- If your backup is *located on another device*: Go to the Backup Migration plugin screen, then to the Manage & Restore Backup(s) tab, and click on the “Upload backup files” button. After the upload, click on the Restore button next to the backup you would like to restore.

= How do I migrate or clone my site? =

Migrate (or clone) a WordPress site by creating a full backup on the site that you want to migrate (clone) - site #1.

- To transfer website **directly from site #1 to site #2**: Go to the Backup Migration plugin screen on site #1, then to the Manage & Restore Backup(s) tab where you have the backups list, click on the Copy Link button in the Actions column. Go to the Backup Migration plugin screen on site #2, then to the Manage & Restore Backup(s) tab, click on “Super-quick migration”, paste the copied link, and hit the “Restore now!” button. Make sure that the backup file on site #1 is accessible by setting “Accessible via direct link?” to “Yes” in the plugin section “Where shall the backup(s) be stored?”

- To migrate the website **indirectly**: Go to the Backup Migration plugin screen, then to the Manage & Restore Backup(s) tab, and click on the “Upload backup files” button. After the upload, click on the Restore button next to the backup you would like to restore.

= Where can I find my backups? =

Backup Migration allows you to download backups, migrate backups, or delete backups directly from the plugin screen Manage & Restore Backup(s). By default, the migrator plugin will store a backup to /wordpress/wp-content/backup-migration but you can change the backup location to anywhere you please.

= How to run automatic backups? =

Enabling automatic backups is done on the Backup Migration plugin’s home screen, just next to the “Create backup now!” button. Auto backup can run on a monthly, weekly, or daily basis. You can set the exact time (and day) and how many automatic backups would you like to keep in the same Backup Migration plugin section. We recommend that you optimize the number of backups that will be kept according to available space.

= How big are backup files? =

Backup file size depends on the criteria you select on the “What will be backed up?” section of the Backup Migration plugin. There you can see file/folder size calculations as you Save your settings. Usually, WordPress’ Uploads folder is the heaviest, while Databases are the lightest. If you are looking to save up space, you might want to deselect Plugins and WordPress installation folders, as you can usually download those anytime from WP sources.

= Is the backup creation and site migration free? =

Yes. You can create full site backups, automatic backups, and migrate your site (duplicate site) free of charge. [Backup Migration Pro](https://sellcodes.com/oZxnXtc2) provides more sophisticated filters and selections of files that will be included/excluded from backups (affecting backup size), faster backup creation times, number of external backup storage locations, backup encryption, backup file compression methods, advanced backup triggers, additional backup notifications by email, priority support, and more.

= Is cloud backup available? =

In Free version: Google Drive, FTP, Amazon S3, Rackspace, DreamObjects, Openstack and
In Premium version: Google cloud, SFTP/SCP, Microsoft Azure, OneDrive, Backblaze, and more.
