    I want to migrate a large e-commerce site to a new host. Database size is 4GB and wp-content file size is 130GB. I tried to download the backup zip file directly from plesk(it’s working but it’s creating several zip files, couldn’t download the whole zip file at once and also takes too much time) and also tried using Filezilla but it’s super slow. I also tried some paid plugins like updraft plus, wpvivid but these plugins couldn’t do it. Is there any other plugin that will solve my issue or any other way to download the backup file easily?

    migration of 130 GB+ size website is almost impossible with any backup plugin, try moving it manually

    dump your database and archive files then rsync both on a new server you will require some technical skills for this

    I’ve migrated my test site successfully but the main site is too big. I’m trying to archive the wp files into a zip file but it’s not creating the zip file at once, after creating a 9GB size file it stopped and created another file and it goes on like this. So far i’ve got 6-7 files.

    Archive time out. And ftp is taking too much time, it took 60hours to download only 28GB.
