Your database, plugins, themes, uploads directory, and WordPress core files. Each component can be selected individually. ### Where are backups stored? Backups are stored in `wp-content/uploads/emnes-backup-migrate-reset/` on your server. Each backup gets its own directory with a manifest file and compressed archives. With the Pro add-on, you can also store backups on Amazon S3, Google Drive, Dropbox, or a remote SFTP server. ### Can I migrate my site to a new domain? Yes. Export your backup from the source site, import it on the destination site, and the plugin will automatically perform search-and-replace on URLs during restoration. No manual database editing required. ### Is there a REST API? Yes. The plugin provides a full REST API under the `ebmr/v1` namespace with 14 endpoints covering backup, restore, reset, import/export, settings, and progress tracking. All endpoints require admin authentication. ### Does it support WP-CLI? Yes. Available commands include: * `wp ebmr backup create` — Create a backup with optional component selection * `wp ebmr backup list` — List all backups in table, JSON, or CSV format * `wp ebmr backup verify` — Verify a backup’s integrity * `wp ebmr backup delete` — Delete a backup ### Is this plugin multisite compatible? The plugin works on individual sites within a multisite network. Network-wide backup is not currently supported. Uninstall cleanup runs across all sites in the network. ### What happens when I uninstall the plugin? All plugin options, audit log entries, backup metadata, and backup files in `wp- content/uploads/emnes-backup-migrate-reset/` are removed. ### How does backup verification work? Each backup component generates a checksum during creation. The verify endpoint recalculates checksums and compares them against stored values to detect corruption or tampering. ### Is there a file size limit for imports? Yes. Imported ZIP archives are validated against a 2 GB total size limit and 512 MB per-file limit to prevent ZIP bomb attacks. These limits are configurable via filters. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Emnes Backup Migrate Reset” is open source software.
