It does the job without hassles

Would recommend this plugin along with "better search and replace" to replace the old domain (if necessary)

Very good

Excellent Migration Tool

By jefferies1 on February 13, 2025

I built a site using Local Server and wanted to move the finished site online. I tried 3 other tools and all had issues, due to the host settings or size thich was just over 150mb, even though I modified many settings to allow larger apps and themes to be used. Others required buying the preminum version was too high for a one time transfer. I found using FTP confusing and didn't want to learn the process as I could have copied the individual pages faster than overcoming the learning curve. Using Backup Migration, the Local site was copied within seconds and migrated within a couple of minutes. This worked when several of the "big guys" failed.

This tool helped me sooooo much....My Fav BU Tool now

By talrudi on February 6, 2025

Hi There!

i had to generate a backup for a website and i wanted to import it in the software: Local.

i tried it with so much different Backup plugins. ....NO CHANCE!!!.
i costs me days to find a Solution. Every other Wordpress BU from different domains worked in 'Local'. offline. This special one, i told you before.... No way. i tried everything... till i did find
"Backup Migration".
Everything was clearly displayed and i recognized in the Protocol Live Window, that there were a lot of Database tables errors in this Worpress- Website.

BU Migration fixed everything. it took some time, but i'm so happy.

Now i can go sleeping with a happy smile! Thanks Guys. and btw, i'm a real person with a sceptical distance to reviews. 11/10
You got a new Fanboy

Simple, rapide et efficace

By gwenandben on February 4, 2025

Ayant eu de multiples transferts de sites à effectuer et après plusieurs essais infructueux ou imparfaits, j'ai essayé cette extension. Le résultat est impeccable, sur les 80 sites à copier, 50 se sont copiés sans problèmes, une vingtaine a eu besoin de la solution de copie alternative (automatiquement proposée par le plugin, donc sans problème non plus au final) et une poignée (5 à 10) auront posé souci jusqu'au bout pour diverses raisons, poids de certains fichiers, conception hasardeuse... rien de surprenant.

En bref, je recommande fortement ce plugin, particulièrement pour le transfert de sites en masse ce qui était ma mission.

Outstanding!!! 🎉

By rhondac on January 31, 2025

I am not an expert WordPress user, but I have been playing around with it for 10 years off and on. I have been using this plugin for backups but not to restore. I just used the migrate feature and it saved me over $100 by not having to hire someone to do it. It also saved me tons of hours trying to piece together a website from scratch. THANK YOU!!!!

Backup Migration is great!
