Description
EnMigrate Pro creates a single backup file of your whole site and restores it on the same server or on a different one, with a different domain or table prefix.
Features
- Full site backups: database, plugins, themes, uploads, mu-plugins and languages in one
.wpbfile. - No size limit: large backups are uploaded in small parts, so
upload_max_filesizeand server timeouts are not a problem. - One-click restore with a live log that shows every step: tables imported, URLs replaced, folders restored.
- Safe migrations between domains: URLs and paths are replaced everywhere, including serialized data (theme customizer settings, widgets, menus) and JSON data used by page builders.
- Different table prefix on the destination? Handled automatically, including user roles and capabilities.
- The database is imported into temporary tables and swapped in at the end, so an error during the import never leaves your site half restored.
- Restores run in short steps that resume automatically, so they work on shared hosting with strict time limits.
- Database-only and files-only backups.
- Daily automatic backups, keeping only the last N backups.
- Backups are stored in a protected folder and can only be downloaded by administrators.
- Built-in help page with step-by-step guides and a server requirements check.
- Translation ready: translate it on translate.wordpress.org or with Loco Translate.
Requirements
- PHP ZipArchive extension.
- Enough free disk space for the backup file.

FAQ
-
Is there a file size limit?
-
No. Files are uploaded in parts sized for your server, and the restore works in short steps.
-
Where are backups stored?
-
In
wp-content/wpmigpro-backups/. The folder is protected so backups can’t be downloaded directly from the web; use the Download button in the Backups page. -
Do I need to log in again after a restore?
-
Yes. The users and passwords of the restored site replace the current ones, so you log in with a user of the backup.
-
Which files are not included in a backup?
-
Cache folders, the WordPress upgrade folder, backup folders of this and other backup plugins, and server-specific drop-ins (
object-cache.php,advanced-cache.php,db.php) are skipped during restore so the destination server keeps working. -
What happens with my backups when I uninstall the plugin?
-
Settings and the plugin’s database tables are removed. Backup files stay in
wp-content/wpmigpro-backups/so you don’t lose them by accident; delete that folder manually if you don’t need them. -
Can I translate the plugin or change its texts?
-
Yes. All texts are translatable. Translations are managed on translate.wordpress.org, and you can also use a plugin such as Loco Translate with the template in
languages/enmigrate-pro.pot.
