 * Hi There
 * I am having issues restoring a backup to new hosting but am getting the below
   error. I am using the free version.
 * I am happy to purchase the pro version if it will restore the backup successfully.
 * Please could you advise?
 * Thanks
 * Phil
 * SGExceptionMigrationError: You should install BackupGuard Pro to be able to migrate
   the website.

 * [@remstrus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/remstrus/) I am sorry you faced
   problems during restoration.
 * This error massage could happen if only you attempt to migrate your website instead
   of simple restoration. Migration is not just restoration. All database is being
   refactored to be compatible to the new environment in case of migration. The 
   migration feature is included only in Pro versions, that’s why such exception
   could happen when you attempt to migrate the website using Free version.
 * You can open direct support ticket here: [https://backup-guard.com/products/backup-wordpress/support-p2p](https://backup-guard.com/products/backup-wordpress/support-p2p)
   and our developers will try to help you with restoration.
