Free WordPress backups, restores and migrations. Built for control.

How restoration protects existing data

The official plugin description documents a staged database restore, an atomic RENAME TABLE for the final switch, a journaled rollback area for original files, a private maintenance marker, recovery checkpoints and preflight validation. These safeguards are designed to reduce incomplete restorations; they do not remove the need for staging and backups.

Database-aware migration

Documented mechanisms include keyset search/replace (avoiding expensive substring scans), handling binary-safe columns, tables without a primary key, oversized values, streamed rows, views/triggers and generated columns. Destination privilege, packet-size, collation and storage checks are included in the published design.

Uploads and selective recovery

Large backup transfers use individually hashed SHA-256 chunks, resumable server-side verification and checkpointed restore operations. Selective restore, mirror mode, orphan-cleanup options, CLI commands and fault-injection testing are described in the official technical notes.

Access controls and performance scope

Ordinary migration operations require an authorized administrator and a valid request nonce. During database restoration, recovery-specific bearer tokens can authorize remaining checkpoint operations when the old login becomes invalid. Admin-only scripts and styles are limited to Site Migrator screens; public-page performance claims are not implied.

Readable source files

The plugin listing states that its readable JavaScript and stylesheet sources are supplied as src/admin.js and src/admin.css, with compact production counterparts under assets/. The documented build command is python3 tools/build_assets.py. Consult the installed version's actual source and official documentation before modifying it.
